The Wells drilled through steeply dipping beds can generate anomalously thick results. This tool attempts to calculate the true stratigraphic thickness of a lithologic package bounded by two calculated grids.
Data tab
Upper Surface Grid
|
This dropdown sets the upper surface grid. Generally, this will be a grid of the top of the formation.
|
Lower Surface Grid
|
This dropdown sets the upper surface grid. Generally, this will be a grid of the top of the formation.
|
Output Isopach Grid
|
This entry sets the name of the newly calculated isopach grid. Either enter a new name, or select an existing grid to overwrite.
|
Isopach Grid Title
|
This option sets the title of the computed isopach grid.
|
TST tab
Apply TST Correction
|
This option applies the true stratigraphic thickness correction TST = TVD (cos θ), where θ is the true formation dip.
|
Grids are Seismic Time
|
By default, Petra assumes that the upper and lower grids are formation tops in TVD. This option adds an additional step to multipy the values in the grid by a specified velocity.
|
Calculated Dip From
|
This dropdown sets how the TST calculation finds formation dip. Formation dip can be calculated from the top grid, the bottom grid, or an average of the two.

Dir tab
