Zone tab

 

Petra defines a zone as a specific interval defined by a discrete top and a base.  Usually a zone's top and base are defined by specific formation tops so that the zone covers a consistent lithostratigraphic unit.  Inside each zone, Petra stores a Data Item such as isopach, net pays, or log measurements that relate to that zone.  Since zones and their data items are shared across all wells in a project, this method of organizing data makes storing and mapping single-value data for a specific formation much easier.  As an example, mapping all the isopach values for a specific formation is much easier when the values are all stored in one common zone data item for each well.
