Plotter Support

Quick PrintOn Windows, the Quick Print option relies on the standard Windows File/Print mechanism. As long as the printer has a properly installed Windows printer driver that conforms to the printing mechanism of Windows, DecisionSpace® software should support it. Most testing was performed on Dell, Xerox, and HP small-format devices as well as on the wide-format HP T1100 and 4000 Designjets. If you miss some data while using the Quick Print option to wide-format HP devices, try disabling the “Send job as bitmap” option of the driver.

On Linux, the Quick Print option relies on the Linux LP queue configured on the operating system. PostScript data is sent to the LP queue. Only PostScript-enabled devices are supported when using the Quick Print option on Linux.

ZEH ServerIf you are submitting to a ZEH plot server, printers supported by the ZEH Plotting Solutions software are supported. ZEH supports the following plotter makes:

• Calcomp• Canon• EPSON• HP (PCL, RTL)• iSys• NeuraLog• Océ• OYO• PostScript printers• Versatec• Xerox

It is recommended that you use ZEH rasterizer 3.5.70 or above.

Other Plot ServersIf you are submitting to a third-party print server, consult its documentation for a list of supported plotters.

When using SDI software for plotter support, it is recommended that you use version R12.0 or higher.

All PlatformsWhether you launch the software from Windows or from Linux, the following steps are identical:

The DecisionSpace® software launches with a small progress meter in the upper left corner of your monitor.

The DecisionSpace® software opens with the Session Manager dialog box. The first time you launch the software, the default look for the interface is Dark. However, you can switch this interface look to Light once you are working in a session. The change then becomes permanent until you switch the look again, (Window > Interface > Light).

The human visual system isdesigned to adapt its colorperception relative to the localdefinition of white. It also adjusts itsfocus slightly as a function of color.A critical factor in color perceptionand acuity is the background color.This software includes interfacetreatments that reflect twobackground color intensities: Darkand Light.

We suggest that you choose aninterface look and feel not onlyaccording to your preference but tothe ambient lighting environment ofyour office. As a general rule, yourambient lighting should be abouthalf as bright as images beingdisplayed on your computer screen.This setup will significantly reduceeye strain and fatigue.

In a brightly lit office, select the Lightinterface.

If you are in a dimly lit office, choosethe Dark interface.

Note: DecisionSpace® software 5000.8.3.0 is compatible with saved sessions from previous releases. However, you may receive a message “Session file <session name> was saved using a previous release, and is no longer supported. It cannot be opened with this release.” In this case, you should delete this session and create one using data compatible with this version of DecisionSpace® software.

In the New Session tab, you can create a session. The Available Modules panel lists all the software installed on your system. Select the software modules from the Available Modules list to load for this session.

The Session Parameters tab is active.

4. Select all required information in the Session Parameters tab.

The list of parameters include the following mandatory ones:

• OpenWorks Districts - Districts allow a company to break up large numbers of projects in its OpenWorks® instance, which are used to separate data by business unit for better data security or disk ownership. These Districts are created and configured during the OpenWorks Installation procedure and are required to begin a session. See OpenWorks Software Release Notes for more information.

• OpenWorks Project - A project is any logical set of data to be used on your system. The amount of data is limited only by the disk space available. In most cases, you want to work with only a small subset of the available data – for example, certain well logs in a particular field, reservoir data for particular horizons, or part of a seismic survey. Projects provide the key to accessing data that is of interest to you. Any project may have a variety of geoscience data associated with it, such as wells and interpreters. When you are working on a project, by definition, you are using a certain set of wells, interpreters, and other data. For this reason, you may need to change projects from time to time if you want to start working with a different set of data. Refer to the OpenWorks Project Administration document for more information.

• OpenWorks Interpretation Project - In OpenWorks software, interpretation projects can allow restricted data (included in the interpretation project) to be controlled by the manager of the interpretation project who can then allow access to the project to those who belong to the group. Therefore, subsets of the larger OpenWorks Project can be created in OpenWorks and selected here. The following is a graphic of the OpenWorks Project Administration dialog box and projects available to a specific user.

• Measurement Systems for OpenWorks Projects - The drop-down list contains the valid measurement systems found in the OpenWorks database instance. The default measurement systems are: SPE Preferred Metric, Canadian Metric, U.S. Oil Field and U.S. Oil Field (metric depth), U.S. Oil Field DMS, CDS Metric, and CDS U.S. Oil Field (International ft). The OpenWorks database instance may contain additional measurement systems. Where possible, the software converts metric units to feet when there are mixed units. however, we recommend not selecting mixed session units such as US Oil Field (metric depth) when selecting the measurement system in the Session Manager, if you plan to do Static Volumetrics Calculations in Earth Modeling.

• Interpreter for the OpenWorks Project - The interpreter (i.e., person, vendor, place, department, company, etc.) used for the current session. The interpreter is created in the OpenWorks database. Refer to OpenWorks online help for more information on managing the OpenWorks database.

• Domain - The domain of the Z values. The values to select are TIME and DEPTH. Note: If you select Depth from the Domain drop-down, the views in the DecisionSpace® window open in the TVDSS domain. If you select Time, the views open in the TWT domain. (This choice is reflected in the Select Domain field on the toolbar.) The default domain is TWT in the Select Domain drop-down.

5. Select the optional data fields. This can greatly simplify your data loading once you’re in your session.

• 3D Survey List - This field contains subsets of available 3D surveys in your project. You can create additional survey lists once you’re in your session. These lists would then be available from this selection field the next time you launch the software.

• 2D Line List - This field contains subsets of available 2D lines in your project. You can create additional line lists once you’re in your session. These lists would then be available from this selection field the next time you launch the software.

• Well List - These well lists are created within the software. You load well lists into a session, not individual wells. Within the software you can make well lists in the Well Lists tab at the bottom of the Select Session Data dialog box. Then, the next time you launch the software, these lists will be available to you from this selection field.

• Well Layout - The software provides several well layout templates designed for common interpretation workflows. You can also create and save well layouts to suit your needs within your working session. You can then select that layout from this field the next time you launch the software.

• Stratigraphic Column - This field contains subsets of available stratigraphic columns in your project.

Click the Help button on the Session Manager dialog box for more information regarding Session Manager and setting parameters.

6. Use the Template tab to select a session template. Session templates allow you to select from the following display window options:

• Cube view

• Map view

• Section view

The templates allow you to open any single or combination of windows. Use File in the main menu to add more windows and tabs once you are in a session. You can also add a Correlation view to your session after it is launched.

To display large icons on the software, select the Use Large Icons check box. Large icons are especially useful when you are using a large resolution monitor since small icons will appear greatly under-scaled.

7. Click OK.

A splash screen displays, followed by the DecisionSpace® software window. Initially, there is very little information loaded within the session. This is why we recommend you begin learning the software using the Workflow Catalog as your assister. The Workflow Catalog task pane is open by default.

You can also begin to learn more about the software by viewing the introductory movies located under the Help menu.

The next time you launch the software, the Session Manager dialog box settings default to the last session’s parameters.

At this point, you can start loading the data required for the intended workflows. If you selected an existing session, the session is restored to the same configuration with which it was saved. It is also recommended that you save often, although, DecisionSpace® software has an Autosave feature that will automatically save your session every 15 minutes when there is no activity for 15 seconds during a session.

Movies

Six movies in the DecisionSpace® Help system provide an overview of the software. To view them, select Help > Movies from the main menu.

GIS Deployment Options and Map Services

The GIS module of the DecisionSpace Suite software requires the ESRI ArcGIS Engine Runtime support system in order to operate.

This 5000.8.3.0 release of the DecisionSpace Suite application is compatible with both the 10.0 SP2 version and the 10.1 SP1 version of the ESRI ArcGIS Engine Runtime. However, you can only install one or the other at a time. The runtime support components must be installed using the installers provided by Landmark, which can be downloaded from the Landmark Software Manager (LSM).

While both the 10.0 and the 10.1 versions are supported, it is strongly recommended that you use the 10.1 version. Many issues have been resolved by ESRI in the 10. 1 version, and, in general, it is more robust and improves performance.

Also note that while both versions are supported, it is possible to use the 10.0 version on Windows, for compatibility with deployed versions of ArcMAP, while using the 10.1 version on Linux, since there is no existing ArcMAP functionality on the Linux platform.

Before Deciding Which Version to Use

Before you decide which version to use, note that the patch currently available in the 10.0 version of ArcGIS Engine Runtime in DecisionSpace Suite 5000.8.3 inadvertently modifies the proxy information stored in the system when ArcGIS server map services are accessed. This renders all map services (including ArcGIS Online and WMS) ineffective on Linux. Therefore, if you do not need map services or you only need WMS map services, you may use the 5000.8.3.0 version of the ArcGIS Engine Runtime 10.0.

Landmark and ESRI are working together to provide a patch, to solve this issue for version 10.0 of the ArcGIS Runtime Engine. Until then, whenever ArcGIS Server map services are being used on Linux, you must use the ArcGIS Engine Runtime version 10.1 or the DecisionSpace 5000.8.2.01 version of the ESRI ArcGIS Engine Runtime and set the following environment variable:

LGC_GIS_USE_ALTERNATE_LINUX_WMS = 1

DecisionSpace 5000.8.2.01ArcGIS Engine Runtime is also available on LSM.

• Refresh log curve crossplots and histograms

• Launch Petris Impetus software for Borehole Imaging

• Launch PetroWorks 5000.8.1.0 software from the Tools menu (Linux only)

DecisionSpace Stimulation• Two new crossplots:

• MSE Height Relative to Midpoint Perforation Point vs Elapsed Time

• Distance Along Dominant Azimuth vs Elapsed Time

DecisionSpace Well Planning• Scenario Planner now includes horizontal targeting. This feature includes the generation

of laterals for unconventional development rather than starting with one or more sets of pre-planned laterals. This feature, along with new support for multi-value parameters, allows you to define fracing targets and casing designs that are automatically generated by the application.

• You can now assign a default slot template for each platform type. This template is automatically assigned when the pad is created or changed to that platform type. Support for this is maintained in both the Slot Template Editor and the Platform Type Editor.

Default Template Requirement Note: Selection of a Default Template for the currently selected pad type(s) is required. If a template is not selected slots are not automatically assigned and the plan(s) will be site-centered.

• Automatic slot assignment has been added to Asset Planner and Scenario Planner. This feature, combined with the default templates, makes it possible to achieve a more ‘finished’ product from automatic planning.

• A new Best Set Pad selection workflow is now available for Asset Planner and Scenario Planner. Using this workflow you can start with a set of turned-off pad locations that represent the possible places where you could drill from and have the application determine which subset of those pad locations combines to create the best overall set of horizontal wells.

• Asset Planner now supports an “Optimized Columns” option. When you select this option, the application finds the optimal pad placement in columns to maximize coverage of the field.

• When using Behind Fault Targeting to plan around a previously planned (or drilled) well, you can now select a reference well. The software then automatically calculates Azimuth and Offest values.

• Behind Fault Targeting can now be used to update previously created plans.

Go To “What’s In This Release?”

• Behind Fault Targeting has new table options and columns giving it a bit more power and flexibility.

• The Re-plan option has been added to Horizontal targeting. This option allows you to re-plan in two ways: Depth-only re-planning, where only the vertical profile of the laterals is altered; and full re-planning, which involves planning new laterals for the entire field, then adjusting the existing trajectories to match there new laterals when possible. The Re-plan option is available in the Positioning tab, when the Use Existing option is selected.

• Target Spreadsheet Editor, now called the Spreadsheet Editor, has been expanded to include Plans and Sites.

• The Delete button, located at the bottom of the AssetPlanner Planning panel, has been moved to the Edit menu and renamed Mass Delete to make it available to all modules.

• The Save as OpenWorks Wells and Platforms dialog box has been modified to provide separate tables for Wells and Platforms.

• Support for GIS grids has been added for site positioning in the Planning > Sites tab and the Horizontal targeting > Positions tab.

• Support for Geoshaper attributes has been added to the Geoshapers to Targets option. When shapefiles are converted to Geoshapers in the GIS module, attributes from the shapefiles are now captured and stored in the Geoshaper. These attributes are listed in the Geoshapers to Targets dialog box. In addition, you can select the Attribute that will be displayed in the spreadsheet.

• A Status column has been added to the Spreadsheet Editor, allowing you to apply a status, with specific business rules, to each plan. Statuses are defined in the Status Editor (Tools menu). From this dialog you can create and define statuses. Each Status can be configured to apply each of the following attributes:

• Color - defines the color of the plan if you have set the Plan coloring schema to “By Plan Type” in the Project Properties Dialog

• Can re-plan - determines if the re-plan option can be applied to the plan

• Can Move - determines if the plan’s location can be changed

• Valid for Anti-collision - determines if plan will be included in anti-collision scans

• The current set of Structural Modeling tools includes:

Geometry Projection [previously available from the Actions panel of the GeoShaper Interpretation task pane] provides control for projecting parallel and similar fold styles within a Section view.

Restore transforms the shape of folded layers, typically to a less-deformed or unfolded restored configuration.

Fault Slip allows analysis of both folding and displacement along a fault by moving the layers above the fault.

Trishear uses several parameters to control the interaction of slip along a fault relative to the growth or propagation of the fault into folded layers.

• Both Fault Slip and Trishear allow displacements to be removed (restoration) or undeformed layers to be forward modeled to fully understand the development of a structure.

• The Geometry Projection tool requires a Geology or Geophysics license. The other tools (Fault Slip, Restore and Trishear) require access to a LithoTect software license.

Wellbore Analyzer

• Computes the intersections between wells and well plans with various data types in order to create a Surface Pick or Log Curve.

• Creates either Well Logs or Surface Picks depending on the data type the well or well plan intersects. Selecting surface grids or horizons creates surface picks and selecting 3D Seismic and 3D Grids creates log curves.

Zone Manager

• Zone Manager is a center of integration to acquire, manage, and visualize reservoir attributes assigned to an interval or Zone of Interest.

• It is integrated into DecisionSpace Desktop and conveniently available via the Tools menu with Geology, Geophysics, and Earth Modeling licenses.

• Sources of attributes include Framework attribute maps for interval thickness and log curve calculations, a production data import, and seismic attribute generation.

• Data management tools include zone, zone attribute and project attribute creation, editing, and calculation of XYZ location.

• Visualization tools include spreadsheet, crossplot, histogram, and statistical views.

• Includes the ability to access OpenWorks database data fields (such as cumulative production and EURs) and crossplot these data versus log-derived properties like SoPhiH.

• Velocity Modeling parameters are now saved and restored with the DecisionSpace Desktop session.

• Proportional conformance is a new option tin the Formation Manager. Proprotional conformance allows velocities within a layer to change smoothly using both the upper and lower boundaries.

• You can now assign seismic velocities or constant velocities to formations on a new Seismic Velocity panel in addition to using the Formation Manager. The new panel makes it easier to see the velocities you’re using in your model and you no longer have to use the same formation velocity for every model.

• You can now import average, RMS and interval in time and interval in depth velocities from an ASCII file. The option is on the new Seismic Velocity panel.

• When models are built, they are automatically created in both time and depth. This means that you’re no longer required to use domain conversion to see a velocity model in a time domain view.

• You can now use the current session’s inventory when selecting seismic data, horizons, time-depth curves, well surface picks and frameworks.

• All the tables in data selection dialog boxes support a range of table tools to sort, search and filter data and to re-organize columns.

• Picks, horizons, and grids can be displayed in Time-Depth Curve Editor to help you edit time-depth curves.

In DecisionSpace GIS 5000.8.2, file type specific tabs are supported. Now, when data is added from an SDE server or other sources that contain multiple file types, the selected data goes to the appropriate tab for that file type. The Session Data Selector tabs for the GIS nodes now match the GIS inventory tree nodes.

• The GIS nodes in the inventory tree were changed to match the GIS tabs in the Session Data Selector. They are:

• Maps

• GIS Grids

• Zooming, panning, and rendering were improved. Zooming now occurs in the current resolution while the image is re-rendered at a new resolution. After zooming or panning, the rendering process no longer blocks the display and allows you to perform other functions during rendering. The user interface is active while the image is being re-rendered in the background.The display is updated when the new image is available. Unnecessary re-rendering processes were identified and eliminated.

• You can now repair broken links in the GIS view. When a layer file referenced in an MXD file is moved to another location, the link to the file is broken. You can correct this in DecisionSpace GIS by clicking the right mouse button and selecting Set the Data Source. By

DecisionSpace Well Planning• Planning along faults - Use this functionality to design well plans that run parallel to a fault

through multiple horizons at a user specified distance from the fault. First, the software creates targets on multiple horizons using user specified dimensions, and distance from the fault. After the targets are created, well plans are designed through the targets.

• Cartographic Reference System conversion - This functionality enables the transfer of data from Well Planning to EDM when the EDM project is using a different cartographic reference system. Prior to transferring the data to EDM, the user must create an exact replica of the EDM system in OpenWorks®. When saving data to the EDM™ project or wbp file, the OpenWorks® cartographic reference system matching the EDM system must be selected. Users of this functionality should ensure the EDM and OpenWorks cartographic systems are equivalent.

• Selection of multiple targets and plans in DecisionSpace® Desktop views - Multiple targets and plans can be selected in the Cube, Map, and Section views by pressing the CTRL key as you click on the targets or plans using the left mouse button. In the Map view, multiple targets and plans can be selected by clicking the Lasso icon on the Well Planning Options task pane prior to clicking the targets or plans using the left mouse button.

• Drag multiple targets in the DecisionSpace® Desktop Map and Section views - If multiple targets are selected as described in the previous new feature, all selected targets will be moved (dragged) simultaneously when using the Drag option on the Well Planning Options task pane.

• Ability to import polygonal targets with intersection points - It is now possible to import polygonal targets with intersection points. To import intersection points with polygon targets, check the ‘Start with intersection point’ box on the Import Targets dialog box.

• Individually apply horizontal and pattern targeting boundaries - When multiple boundaries are used in horizontal or pattern targeting, it is now possible to optimize the pattern within individual boundaries.

• Offset horizontal targets - When creating horizontal targets using the ‘Line up on well’ option it is now possible to specify an offset. For example, this is useful when planning multiple layers of producers with layers of injectors between the producers. Using the offset option, the injectors can be offset laterally between two stacks of producers and vertically between the two layers of producers.

• Relative to heel/toe option - When planning horizontal targets, an option has been added to specify a specific inclination for the laterals relative to the heel or toe. For example, this option can be used to place the heels just above the base of the production zone with the laterals at a certain inclination so that the laterals drain downward.

• Enhanced control when creating hazards from faults - Options have been added to the ‘Faults in Working Data Set’ dialog box providing enhanced control over the precision hazards follow the shape of faults. Use the Resolution field to indicate how well the hazards to follow the shape of the fault(s). The following resolution options are available:

Go To “What’s In This Release?”

• Low: Select low resolution to create one hazard with a constant thickness for each fault. The hazard will be thick enough to cover all of the fault. Depending on the shape of the fault, the hazard may not represent the actual shape of the fault very well.

• Medium: Select medium resolution to create multiple hazards for each fault. The hazards will be sized such that no hazard is thicker than the specified Maximum Thickness. Keep in mind that a smaller Maximum Thickness will result in more hazards.

• High: Select high resolution to create a hazard for each triangle within the fault. This option only applies to triangulated (not grid) faults.

DecisionSpace GIS• The World Map appears by default when launching the DecisionSpace GIS view - The World

Map provides the user with instant context for images, shapefiles, etc., when they are loaded into the DecisionSpace GIS View.

• DecisionSpace GIS now uses the standard DecisionSpace Desktop Display Properties dialog box to support user controls for editable properties associated with GIS objects - The user experience, when editing the properties associated with GIS objects, is now consistent with the other DecisionSpace Desktop applications.

• The editable user controls for GIS objects have been changed from Transparency to Opacity - Changing the editable user controls from Transparency to Opacity is more consistent with the other DecisionSpace Desktop applications.

• The thematic concept is now available in the GIS view - This functionality is designed to display a particular theme connected with a specific geographic area. These maps can portray physical, social, political, cultural, economic, sociological, agricultural, or any other aspects of a city, state, region, nation, or continent. In the GIS implementation, a variety of options, including options to change color, add labels and symbols; based on shape attributes, are available.

Thematic maps are used as reference points to enhance one's understanding of the map's theme and purpose. For example, you could use themes to delineate lease boundaries by color, coloring each lease boundary to correspond to a company.

• A new Broadcast button allows you to save an ArcGIS Online Server image to your local computer drive so an internet connection is not needed each time the image is referenced -Being able to save an ArcGIS online server image to a local drive improves transaction performance meaning that you do not have to wait for an internet connection nor wait for the image to be downloaded. You can now work offline.

• The ability to spatialize OpenWorks® geoshape data into GIS shapefiles - This function allows you to share OpenWorks geoshaper data with any GIS application.

• The capability to convert shapefiles to geoshapers - You can convert shapefiles into geoshapers to allow identification of spatial features that represent geologic features and environmental hazards to be captured as editable spatial elements in the OpenWorks application.

• The ability to georeference an image file - You can now georeference an image that has spatial data including .jpg, .jpeg, and.png files, along with other popular file formats, to create a georeferenced geotiff file.

• Cursor tracking - Cursor tracking is now enabled among DecisionSpace Desktop, ArcLgcBridge, and GIS view.

• Constraints for Creating Shapefiles - You can now customize a shapefile by filtering a particular data type. You accomplish this by selecting specific objects, rather than all the objects, associated with that data type.

DecisionSpace Petrophysics• New Advanced LithCurve Options adds multiple features to Log Calculator’s LithCurve models

– Assigns the Lithology ID to calculated Pay, Facies and Lithology curves and saves Lithology Strip data directly to OpenWorks®.

• Set a Minimum Thickness value to eliminate thin intervals.

• Input Lithology Strip data to easily edit and override the LithCurve values generated from log curves.

• Well Interval and Lithology Strip input options for Log Calculator’s LogCalc models – Use Well Interval or Lithology Strip data to zone or override log calculations, for example, use Sandstone and Limestone Well Intervals or Lithology Strip data to vary matrix values used in porosity calculations.

• Curve Inventory – Displays the Well Count or number of wells with a curve mnemonic and if aliased to a Group Curve. Curve Inventory is available in the Select Log Curves and Select Session Data dialogs using the Load Curve Inventory icon.

• New System Models for LithCurves – SystemGR-PAY calculates gamma ray pay curves. SystemSS-ShlySS-Shl calculates sandstone, shaley sandstone, and shale curves.

DecisionSpace Well Planning• Spreadsheet Target Editor allows the user to edit all target data for selected targets

simultaneously. Once an edit is made, it can be applied to all selected targets. By judicious filtering, selected targets can be any subset desired. This functionality makes it easy to turn all targets of a certain type (i.e. Producers) yellow, or turn all targets deeper than 5000’ into rectangles. This feature does not allow editing of multiple hazards, boundary, or polygonal targets.

• Closest Approach Plots - It is now possible to plot approach distances from a given plan to other plans, wells, or geologic objects such as surfaces and faults.

• Relief Well Planning assists users with the design of relief wells to comply with new Gulf of Mexico drilling regulations. The key to designing relief wells using this feature is a special type of target that is positioned relative to the well being relieved. This special target may be the final target, at the intersection point, or it may be a target that is offset from the well by a certain distance, and at a different measured depth. The basic option for planning relief wells allows the user to select a location to drill from, specify the kickoff and dogleg severity, and then add relief well targets.

• Relief Well Options is a more advanced tool for relief well planning, and attempts to solve issues such as locating an acceptable drilling site, avoiding hazards and other wells, and minimizing drilling distance and complexity. Options are displayed on a spreadsheet and the Cube view. The spreadsheet can be filtered to reduce options to a reasonable set for more in-depth evaluation. Upon selecting an option, the user can choose to have the tool create that relief well. This feature is particularly useful in situations where there are numerous wells already drilled in the area, sea floor constraints, or hazards.

• Snap Option allows the selection of a type of target, and a depth extraction method such as “Relative to Surface”. After selection, the depths for all of the targets of that type are modified. This is particularly useful for Earth Modeling workflows where the Earth Model has changed since the targets were created. It is also useful when target locations have been imported as XY values from a spreadsheet and the Z values need to be determined. An additional feature of this option is that it can snap the upper or lower limits of the target instead of the target location. This allows for creating targets that stretch from the top to the bottom of the reservoir.

• Depth Extractions for Auto-Targeting and Snap Targets Can Now Reference Two Surfaces - It is now possible to select targets as a percentage distance between two surfaces.

• Improved Time/Depth Handling allows the user to correct time/depth conversions models by applying times to targets. The session domain conversion can be swapped, and the depths updated. It will also allow updating of depths using stored time values and the current session domain conversion.

• Improved Polygon Drawing provides much more control when drawing Polygonal Targets in the Cube, Map, and Section views. In addition to controlling the type, color, and prefix, the user can also specify drawing a regular polygon, or drawing a centerline and applying a buffer. This second option is particularly useful for creating hazards around rivers and roads. Options are provided to control how the depths will be established for the polygon. “Free Form” allows each point to potentially have a different depth and computing the plane and thickness for the

Page 60: DecisionSpace® Suite Version 5000.8.3

Go To “What’s In This Release?”

resulting target. “Constant Depth” assigns all points the depth value of the first point. “Fixed Depth” assigns all points a user specified depth value. Using “Free Form” or “Constant Depth”, it is possible to base the depths upon a surface or fault.

• Site Picking in the Cube, Map, and Section Views allows the user to pick sites on the Cube, Map, and Section views. The user has control over whether the site is for surface or platforms wells, site type, and a prefix for naming the site. The depth references can be a fixed depth or relative to a surface, and vary depending on onshore or offshore locations. A pattern option allows for creating multiple sites in a fixed pattern.

• Geoshapers to Targets conversion feature is most useful for hazards or boundaries. Polygons are directly imported. Polylines are imported as polygons by adding a buffer around the centerlines.

• Option for Adjusting and Optimizing Pad Types allows the user to specify that a smaller, presumably less expensive pad be substituted for a particular pad type when a certain number of slots are in use. This feature can also be used to substitute a larger pad for all pads of a particular type with a certain number of slots in use. This is useful when a particular pad type has most slots full, and there is a need to enlarge the pad size to provide additional free slots. A delete option is also provided that allows the user to delete pads with a small number of slots in use. This new feature has been added as a tab in Field Level Template Management.

• Enhanced Use of Boundaries and Setbacks in Pattern and Elliptical Targeting - A setback distance has been added to Pattern Targeting. In addition, when using Elliptical Targeting to create new targets, the boundary each target is placed in is reviewed to insure the target spacing is reflected at the boundary level.

• Ability to Use Boundary with a Reference Target in Pattern Targeting - The user now has an option to use a reference target when filling boundaries with Producer/Injector patterns. These patterns are centered such that a primary target will match the XY location of the reference target. This is useful when trying to fill in a pattern around an existing well.

• Ability to Mass Delete Targets, Stubs and Platforms - The “Delete Unused Targets” button in AssetPlanner has been replaced by a “Delete…” button which displays a dialog that can be used to delete platforms, plans, stubs, or targets.

• User each in Horizontal Targeting - In previous releases, the “To Heel” reach used when computing horizontal stubs for existing sites was computed using the well spacing, number of slots, and proximity to hazards. In addition to this automatic computation, an additional option is now provided using a Reach check box and a corresponding data entry field to allow the user to specify the reach to use.

• Option to Adjust Lateral Length of Plans and Stubs from Either End - This new feature adjusts the lateral length of a plan or stub. The length can either be added or removed from the toe or heel. The toe or heel will be moved along a straight line projection.

• Extent Field Added to Maximum Slope in Platform Generation - There is now an Extent field beside the Maximum Slope check box and field on the Sites tab of AssetPlanner. In previous releases the maximum slope was based upon a local slope value at the specific location. By setting this Extent field to a non-zero value, the user can specify an area over which the slope

Go To “What’s In This Release?”

must be less than (or equal to) the specified maximum. This is useful when you need a large flat area on which to place a pad.

• Intercepts to Targets allowed on OpenWorks and COMPASS™ Wells - It is now possible to run the “Intercepts to Targets” feature using OpenWorks and COMPASS Wells. Reference Targets, which previously had not been allowed on these wells, can now be saved with them in the Well Planning Project for future use.

• Ability to Create Parallelograms from Rectangular Targets - The new “Targets to Parallelograms” feature on the Plans menu creates two sides of a parallelogram target parallel to a fault, and the other two sides parallel to the selected plan.

• Target Location Locking - Using the Target Editor, and the new Spreadsheet Target Editor, you can lock the target location to prevent target movement.

• Locked Dragging - It is now possible to lock Target and Site dragging to a surface. In the case of a target, the target will remain the same distance above or below the surface as it is dragged. When sites are dragged, the behavior is dependent upon the type of site. If the site is onshore, it is assumed the surface is dragged relative to ground. If the site is offshore, the surface is assumed to be the sea floor.

• Hole size parameter has been added to casing and liners.

• Drilled Casing Intervals has been added to the Plan Parameter Controller. This option produces a number of parameters showing the straight deviated, and total drilled distances for each casing or liner section, as well as any open hole section.

• Fracture and Drainage Area Targets - A new option has been added to the Intercepts to Targets for computing drainage area targets for horizontal plans. These reference targets can be created either for the overall drainage for the plan, or for individual fracture areas.

General Usability and Performance Fixed Issues

Defect ID Summary

• 864297 Error: A DecisionSpace Desktop Recovery (DSR) appears briefly upon closing a session with a ServiceNotFoundException included in the error log.

• 866094 PD Messages: When a session includes multiple views in a window, applications like Well Seismic Fusion that respond to point marker PD messages only receive those messages from one of the views. The current workaround for this problem is to split each view into its own window.

• 871329 Windows: It is possible to create two windows that have the same number from a saved session and lose one upon save and restore. If you save a session with two windows having the same window number (e.g., 1.1) you will lose one of the windows upon restore. Workaround: drag the tab(s) back to another window or create a new window and then drag the tab into it before saving the session.

• 879990 Installation: DecisionSpace® Desktop does not support spaces in the install path. In Windows, the ability to use a space, no spaces, and multiple spaces in the installation filename path is now supported. For example, C:\Program Files\vendor\Landmark\ is a valid path.

• 854327 Null Pointer Exception: Initiate New Plan encounters Null Pointer Exception from Section view, if Map view is in Map Intersection view.

• 854358 Active Well Plans: Adding time horizons to TWT section loses visibility of active well plans.

• 857178 Plan View: A recovery dialog with a Null Pointer Exception is raised when you Draw a Polygon Target in Plan view.

• 857924 Drawing Lines: Ability to draw lines (similar to polygons but not closed surfaces) that act as hazards added to the software.

• 858252 Drag-and-Drop: Unable to drag and drop Well Planning data into DecisionSpace® Desktop views.

• 861082 Well Targets: Well Section view not showing well targets when picked in that view.

• 862180 Display: Drillers Target display in desktop not matching with Display Properties.

Known Issues

The following list describes behaviors and problems that the DecisionSpace® Suite team has identified as being an issue to users. This list does not include all the known problems of DecisionSpace® Suite software.

DecisionSpace Base Known Issues

General Usability and Performance Known Issues

Defect ID Summary

• 884840 Invalid Parenthesis character in path: If the application is installed into a location with a path that results in using parentheses “( )”, the application may not start. If the parentheses occur within the first eight characters, the launch scripts interpret the parentheses as the part of the logic of the launch script. If the parenthesis occurs after the eighth character, it is ignored by the launch scripts.

Workaround is to not install the application to a location with a path containing a parenthesis occurring within the first eight characters. This issue is expected to be resolved in a future release.

A valid example is: C:\Landmark\Program Files (x86)

An invalid example is: C:\DS(86)

• 911413 Time-depth conversion window doesn’t open: The Time/Depth conversion GUI does not display when launched from the Tools menu.

Workaround is to open the GUI by using right-click (MB3) on the seismic volume.

Data Analysis Known Issues

Defect ID Summary

Display: A few items either do not display in Print Preview or do not appear in the hardcopy output (.cgm or .pdf). These include cursors; Correlation Tool polygon fill; ezValidator displays; Transform View; and Note callouts. The default view scale bar and gridlines can be replaced using Scale Bar and Border plot shapes, respectively, in Print Preview.

• 918620 Capturing Well Headings: Scaled Hardcopy for Sections can capture well headers opened on the view—in a strip just above the section proper. If the Section well header is OPEN but empty—that is, no wells posting to the Section—then the Print Preview can become visually distorted although the subsequent plot is true and accurate. Avoid this visual distortion by going to Print Preview with a posted well (say, with an increase in the criteria distance for the section), or close the header strip on the Section.

• 918804 Plotting: Vertical images do not plot correctly when you are using the TVDSS domain.

• 918915 Correlation View: In Print Preview correlation view, a Null Pointer Exception (NPE) is generated when using Template Save As to save a plot template with edited border properties.

DecisionSpace Earth Modeling Known Issues

Defect ID Summary

• 898959 Post Processing: Flow Simulation: Data entry in the Flow Simulation panel does not persist (save and restore) as a part of a session.

• 902270 Data Input: DecisionSpace Recovery error when using two instances of the software with a common point set property and deleting it from the first instance while is displayed in data analysis plots in the second instance.

• 906468 Post Processing: Flow Simulation: A discrepancy in the progress bar display exists such that it is not coincident with the expected runtime of the executed Flow Simulation job.

• 907768 Stratigraphic Model: DecisionSpace Recovery error occurs when creating a new probe using two instances of the software use a common point set in the same 3D Grid.

• 908070 Grid Analysis Toolkit: Newly created surface grids use the “Spectrum” color map by default; while the input grid may be using another color map type. Also, the data range of the newly created surface grid may be a subset of the input grid, resulting in a mismatch of the color map and data range as expected with respect to input and output grid data.

• 908740 Grid Analysis Toolkit: Errors in exception handling may lead to false indication that a computation had completed successfully when it did not.

• 909591 Post Processing: Flow Simulation: Disparities in size may exist between wells associated with dynamic data and their corresponding perforations.

• 909596 Post Processing: Flow Simulation: During Flow Simulation submission the entire session is placed in a frozen state. The state is returned to an active setting once the job completes.

• 910644 Post Processing: Flow Simulation: Upon multiple job submissions to Nexus the automated grid probe creation for the recurrent data becomes disabled; thus, while the recurrent data is returned to the Cube View, the user may be required to manually create a grid probe to visualize the results.

• 911877 Stratigraphic Modeling: DecisionSpace Recovery error occurs when using two separate instances of the software and creating a lithotype definition in one instance from a 3D grid using the same point set loaded in both instances.

• 912777 Grid Analysis Toolkit: User-defined property names must not exceed 24 characters in length.

• 912934 Visualization: When using ‘Clip to Probe,’ the image disappears from Cube view.

• 913334 Grid Analysis Toolkit: Resizing the Grid Analysis Toolkit window results in erroneous behavior of the Help and Close buttons; as well as the ensuing actions of those buttons once selected.

• 913869 Grid Analysis Toolkit: Overwriting an existing object (3D or surface grid property) that was removed from Inventory will occur at your action from the Grid Analysis Toolkit interface; however, the overwritten object will not automatically display in Inventory. You can recover from the Session Data area.

• 913870, 915612 Post Processing: Flow Simulation: Enable Well Selection from Cube views method:This method will only work on the latest enable Cube view if multiple views are opened. This is not an issue when only one Cube view is opened in the session. (915612).Cannot use the MB2 (right mouse button) zoom (in and out) capability when this method is used (913870).

• 914378 Post Processing: Flow Simulation: A discrepancy in the Simulation Well List and Perforation Manager exists such that they may not update accordingly when an input grid is redefined.

• 916164 Post Processing: Flow Simulation: The maximum amount of perforations per well permitted for the generation of streamlines is 200. Any perforations created in excess of this amount result in Nexus StreamCalc failure upon initiation of the Generate Streamlines option. This issue does not affect the Nexus simulation part of the submitted Flow Simulation job.

• 917721 3D Grid: DecisonSpace Recovery error when loading a large RESCUE data set (approximately 300 million cells).

• 918542 Post Processing: Flow Simulation: Upon completion, an option to create a grid probe for the simulation map data is prompted. Always select 'yes'. If you select 'no', the simulation results cannot be retrieved for the current session. Workaround: save the session, exit and re-launch the software (restoring the previously saved session). Then, use the Tools option "Load 3D Grid" to load the VDB related to the simulation results (and its case) into the Inventory.

Dynamic Frameworks to Fill™ Known Issues

Defect ID Summary

• 903754 Importing Frameworks: Loading multiple dynamic frameworks at the same time results in a problematic Framework rebuild where some items do not restore correctly. To resolve, load frameworks one at a time or simply refresh the Frameworks that did not load correctly.

• 903867 Velocity models: The session hangs if you remove a Framework associated with a particular velocity model from a session, change velocity models, then add that Framework back into the session.

• 903965 Fault tab: The Fault area does not update properly if a fault is reinterpreted or altered and then added to the active Framework. If this fault is the first fault in a Framework, the Fault area updates as expected.

• 907260 Master grid surface: Removing the source to the master grid surface then adding it again permanently changes all surfaces to triangulation.

• 910700 Framework update: The application crashes when you create a fluid contact while the model is updating.

• 911905 Attribute Maps: An attribute map saved in a Static Framework becomes static as well. If you alter this map in a restored session, the interval becomes invalid as one map is dynamic and one map is static. Workaround: First delete the static map from your Framework and re-create it in the Static Framework, thus creating a new dynamic map that you can work with.

• 913886 Fault Network: While manually creating a fault network, clicking immediately on the same fault previously networked is prevented, however, access is recovered after making other object selections.

• 916262 Overlays: Interacting with other objects in Cube view can cause the Color task pane to drop the overlay color map and display the Framework surface color map.

• 917256 Intersection Editing: Cannot perform intersection editing in section view if the section line is selected before faults are added to framework. Workaround is to reselect the section line after faults are added.

• 918242 Overlays: DecisionSpace Recovery error when removing an overlayed attribute map with custom extents from the Framework. To avoid this issue, turn off the overlay prior to removing the attribute map.

• 918394 Overlays: DecisionSpace Recovery error after creating an attribute map overlayed in a Section view on a static Framework and then removing and reloading that static Framework.

DecisionSpace Geology Known Issues

Horizontal Well Correlation Known Issues

Defect ID Summary

• 900122 Well Query Tool: Temporary point sets created in TWT using the Well Query Tool do not display.

• 902013 Well Template Conversion: The Well Template Migration tool allows users to name a layout using more characters than the Well Layout tool allows.

• 912181 Single Well Info: The Well Location-lease Id appears to be an editable field, but you cannot save any information in it.

• 913294 Well Layout: Using curve aliases to color fill density porosity curves in a region does not work well.

• 914249 Point Set Z Fields: “TVD” fields for point sets created by ZMAP+ software and the Well Query Tool (DecisionSpace) differ from point sets created elsewhere in the DecisionSpace software. With DecisionSpace, values in “TVD” Z fields are referenced from sea level. With ZMAP+ and the Well Query Tool, values are referenced from the elevation of the corresponding well. For such point sets, if you select the “TVD” field as the Z Position field in the Point Set Display Properties dialog box, the points will be positioned incorrectly in Cube view. If available, choose the “SSTVD” or “TVDSS” field instead.

• 915937 Print Preview Multiplier: The Print Preview multiplier used to increase annotation size does not work for Well Notes.

• 916237 Surface Picks in Print Preview: In Print Preview, the annotation for surface picks appears to be larger if a surface is selected in the Well Pick Interpretation task pane prior to selecting Print Preview.

• 917238 Well Query Tool: The software throws an error when you create a well list using the Well Query Tool and the task pane is undocked.

• 918625 Well Query Tool: If the total depth of a well is greater than the last point in the well’s position log, the X/Y values for the point set for that well will be determined from the well header’s X Coord BH and Y Coord BH rather than being extrapolated from the last few points of the position log. If those values in the well header are incorrect, the point set generated by the tool will display in an incorrect location for that well.

Defect ID Summary

• 910396 Cursor cross hairs: Cursor lines/cross hairs (which are controlled by Shortcut Key Q) are incorrect in the Horizontal Well Correlation Workspace for the Section and the horizontal and vertical Correlation views.

• 914130 Save/Restore: Framework selection is not persisted in HWC session Save and Restore.

• 915429 Loading Wells: java.lang.NullPointerException occurs while reloading wells after deleting a well displayed in HWC.

Defect ID Summary

None listed at this time.

Defect ID Summary

• 908325 Export/Import: Enable Pack & Go export then import of 3D horizons to also export and import lineage—a new kind of horizon attribute associated with a structure horizon.

Defect ID Summary

Output: The Seismic Attribute Generation component allows you to create 2D or 3D seismic data in the DecisionSpace software. Using the All Lines default to generate 2D attribute data creates a separate file for each 2D line in the active 2D line list. You may need to delete unwanted seismic files using the Seismic Data Manager in the OpenWorks software.

• 869367 Job Manager: With insufficient memory, the Job Manager shows that the job is complete, but no volume name is listed in the Job Manager.

• 874742 Volume Math: The Min/Max scaling values listed in the Select Session Data dialog box for a seismic volume calculated using the Difference algorithm in the Volume Math dialog box are the same as the values of the first input volume.

• 878290 Dip Attribute: The scale factor for the Dip attribute is incorrect for 3D data.

• 879528, 886245 dir.dat: Get “dir.dat is not valid” message in either of the following situations: • the path in the dir.dat to where created data is written is not specified

• a missing or corrupt velocity model is selected for time-depth conversion

The Seismic Attribute Generation software requires write permission to the file system defined in the active dir.dat configuration file. Output to Shared Mem-ory is an exception, since it does not require a file system to function and the shared memory volume, when saved to a .vol file, is saved to a user-defined file system.

• 879604 AOI: The z values are changed to out of the data range when the area of interest (AOI) is defined using the Select from Map option on the Seismic Attribute Generation dialog box. The out-of-range z values are shown in red on the Area of Interest pane.

The workaround is to ensure the Map view is active, then enter zero (0) in the Current Domain Value text box between the left and right “Step” icons on the DecisionSpace software’s Frame Control toolbar. Click Select from Map and draw the AOI. Click in the red Minimum Z text box on the Area of Interest pane, then hit Enter. Repeat in the red Maximum Z text box. The correct z values will be used in the calculation.

• 881560 Data Extents: The full extents (Inline, Crossline, and Z ranges) of the first input seismic volume are used by the Difference algorithm in the Volume Math dialog box. Limiting the extents (subsetting) gives incorrect results.

• 884013 Data Increment: Cannot choose the output format type if the inlines/crosslines of the input data do not increment by one (1). This behavior persists if you change a volume with an increment not equal to 1 to have an increment of 1. The output format will be brick (bri) format for any SeisWorks seismic input format. The option to select compressed (cmp) format is not available. If a shared memory (shm) volume is input, the output format will be shm.

• 887107 Display: Time-depth converted seismic data shows background distortion when shared memory (shm) input is output in compressed (cmp) format.

• 889581 Output: User-defined output name in Time-Depth Conversion dialog box reverts to default filename if velocity model or conversion method is changed.

• 890730 Performance: Volume Math and Time-Depth Conversion can take a long time to run, especially if the velocity model or the seismic data set is large.

• 896706 Frequency Attributes: Error when generating some frequency attributes with an even Samples value.

Average Frequency, Bandwidth, Quality Factor, and Thin-bed Indicator use a Hamming filter, which requires an odd number of samples. If an even number of samples is entered, a warning message is displayed. The workaround is to enter an odd value for the vertical dimension (Samples) value.

• 896724 Structure Attributes: Error when generating Relative Amplitude Change in Y attribute with a single inline as the AOI.

• 898546 Volume Math: The two seismic volumes used as input must be from the same seismic survey, or the second volume must be a subset of the first volume, with inclusive line and trace numbers.

Volume Math is designed to work on seismic volumes from the same survey. For multiple surveys, common inline/crossline numbering is required where the seismic volumes overlap. When run on partially overlapping surveys, the output contains only the union of the two surveys.

Velocity Modeling Known Issues

• 904597 Job Manager: Under certain conditions, a job indicated as “COMPLETE” is actually missing from the database.

• 906299, 909093 Domain Conversion: Time-depth conversion in Seismic Attributes must be run before any other domain conversions in DecisionSpace, or the conversion will not work.

• 917416 Waveform Classification: The waveform classification output is misplaced in Map view when the project measurement system in OpenWorks is U.S. Oil Field, but the x,y coordinates of the AOI are in meters.

Workaround is to start the session with a measurement system of SPE Metric, then run Waveform Classification. The dialog box reflects units in meters and the waveform output is displayed in the correct location in Map view.

Defect ID Summary

• 873037 Velocity Model Display: Velocity models displayed in Section views show stair steps at abrupt transitions such as layer and salt body boundaries.

A DecisionSpace software workaround which helps considerably is to change the X, Y and Z sample rates to match their minimum value. From the Select Session Data manager, load the desired velocity model and in the session data table you can find the X, Y, and Z sample rates. These are editable fields so if you change them to 1, the sample rate will be minimized. This helps avoid much of the stair-stepping pattern seen on some velocity models displays.

• 895887 Formation Manager allows multiple formations with the same name. If this occurs, you should exercise care in selecting the correct formation or rename one.

• 898144 Sessions: If a model is renamed and then saved, it will not have the new name when the session is restored. The name will be correct in the DecisionSpace Inventory listing but incorrect in the Velocity Modeling Build panels and Model Summary Report.

• 898897 Well Surface Picks: Inter-well Points made by another interpreter are not available for use in Velocity Modeling. Workaround: The original Inter-well Point interpreter can use the OpenWorks Interpreter Manager to grant permission to Velocity Modeling interpreter to start a session as the original interpreter.

• 901026 Documentation: Missing online help for Equation tab on Crossplot window. This tab is only visible if the Crossplot tool is launched from the Velocity Modeling module.

• 907375 Domain-Converted Horizon: A horizon that is domain converted using Velocity Modeling does not overlay the horizon from which it is extracted.

Domain conversion using the Dynamic Velocity Model option on the right-click menu for a single well is not identical to the domain conversion from a single well TDQ model. To get accurate domain conversions, we recommend building a proper velocity model with the DecisionSpace Velocity Modeling module. At a minimum, the “proper model” should include a few wells and some structural control horizons.

• 914697 Seismic Velocity: Results of using a Seismic Velocity from processing is different than expected. Units are not being converted when SeisSpace velocity units are different from project units and these velocities are used in hybrid models through the processing connection.

The current OpenWorks project units in lateral and vertical directions are now shown just below the SeisSpace project units in the Processing Connection dialog. In addition, a warning message pops up when the SeisSpace unit system is inconsistent with the OpenWorks vertical units.

• 917828 Model Extents: The Add mode for defining Model Extents needs to be disabled for models defined by Frameworks or hybrid models.

• 917940 Hybrid Model: Cannot save a hybrid model to SeisSpace you are using a SeisSpace 5000.8.3 data server.

• 918587 Hybrid Model Generation: Errors occur when a velocity model that includes a framework is being build, then is canceled and quickly restarted before the build confirmation is delivered.

Workaround is to wait until the ‘model has been aborted’ message appears, then rebuild the model.

• 918882 Hybrid Model: All surface pick instances are not listed when loading DTE models. The surface pick will only be listed once in the hybrid model, even though the DTE model used the surface pick multiple times. The surface pick may have been used in the DTE model with different sets of wells and/or with a different time horizon assigned to the pick.

Workaround is to manually input the additional surface pick instances.

DecisionSpace GIS Known Issues

Defect ID Summary

• 833200 GIS Grid Files: For AUX files, setting the color mode to Database does not work as expected. Database color means that the data should display the color scheme stored in the AUX file.

• 835824 GIS Grid Files: The solid color option may not work for some AUX files.

• 835944 Monitor: If you use dual monitors on Linux and the GIS View is on a secondary monitor, the report dialog box will not allow you to complete the report dialogue operation. Workaround: Simply launch GIS View and display it on your primary monitor.

• 860103 WGS84: Bring data into the GIS module as WGS84. Otherwise, the font size of inserted comments does not display correctly.

• 862373 WGS84: Chain datum transformations in DecisionSpace GIS may cause inaccurate datum shifting. To minimize datum shifting issues, load the data in WGS84 or in the Project CRS.

• 867200 Shapefile: Shape data quality is bad in Cube view for some GIS image data.

• 867881 Shapefile: When zoomed in, the Shapefile in the Cube view may display poor quality labels.

• 873770 Cube View: The GIS grid may not correctly reflect the colormap opacity in Cube view.

• 874011 Loading Data: Loading image data in XY or XYZ mode takes a lot of memory.

• 875292 Shapefiles: The Cube view paints Shapefiles in random colors in XY mode.

• 877197 Dates: Various dates may appear in time format.

• 878131 Cube View: Symbology is not implemented in the X,Y mode for Cube view.

• 878226 GIS View: A grid in the tiff file format does not broadcast properly from the GIS view to the DecisionSpace software.

• 889842 ArcLgc Bridge: The ArcLgc Bridge toolbar is not automatically installed and functional after the DecisionSpace software installation on the Windows 7 platform. Workaround: Install an executable file from the Installation Directory. For more information, see DecisionSpace® GIS Extension for ArcMap in the DecisionSpace online help.

• 890863 GIS View: If you launch the DecisionSpace Software, open the DecisionSpace GIS tool, add a Shapefile the GIS view, and click the Close button (the X in the upper right corner), the GIS View goes blank, and no data can be added to the GIS view. The only recourse is to click the Close button (X) again to exit the GIS view.

• 897120 Draping: Draping an image over a surface grid causes the image below the grid to appear as if it is seeping through the top of the image. Workaround: Turn off the grid or make it transparent.

• 897895 Point Set: Saving a surface grid as a point set from GIS grids fails if an ESRI map is selected in the GRID options.

DecisionSpace Petrophysics Known Issues

• 898020 GIS View: When exiting the DecisionSpace Desktop, if the GIS View is open, it will remain open and must be closed manually.

• 911997 ArcGIS Engine 10.1 Environment: When using the Add Data function in GISView, using the Ctrl key selects single files NOT multiple files. Use MB1 and drag it across the multiple files to highlight and select them.

• 917411 Map Servers: When you select the Map Servers data type, add multiple map server layers to the session and drape the map server with grids, when you open the Display Property Editor and Select Session Data and change the Grid Type in the DPE, the grid value will read null.

• 917741 Not Enough Disk Space: On Linux, when you launch DecisionSpace Suite using ArcGIS Engine 10.0, you may receive a warning message stating that you are “Unable to initialize the report from the xml file.” Workaround: This issue occurs because of low disk space. To free disk space on the file system, go to /home/user and delete the temporary or unused files.

Also, If you don’t have enough disk space, when you select SaveAsESRIGrid, the operation may fail. Workaround: Ensure that there is enough free space in the file system and ensure that there is enough free space on the file system where you want to save the ESRI grid.

• 918851 Map Servers: When you select the Map Servers data type, add multiple map server layers to the session and drape the map server with grids, when you open the Display Property Editor and Select Session Data and change the Domain from TVD to TWT and vice-versa, the Grid type will read null.

• 918945 Hardcopy: Hardcopy for GIS data can fail to print when added as a Map layer (MXD) to a session. This problem is intermittent, but it can occur when a Map is added either directly or as a result of a broadcast from the GISView tool. Workaround: GIS data can be added to the session in the DecisionSpace software as individual data elements, such as GIS Grids, Shapefiles/Features, Image Files/Rasters, Geodatabase elements, or Map Services. When added as individual elements, Hardcopy for GIS data works correctly.

DecisionSpace Stimulation Known Issues

Defect ID Summary

• 820238 Treatment Wells: If you remove one or more microseismic stages from the treatment well (i.e., frac job/ frac well) or the treatment well itself from the OpenWorks database while DecisionSpace Stimulation is rendering that data in the views, DecisionSpace Stimulation may not properly update. Workaround: If any of these situations occur, re-launch the DecisionSpace Software.

• 849942 Limited Interpreter Permission: If you have Limited Interpreter permission for the current project, you will not be able to create azimuth, calculate Stimulated Reservoir Volume or Cumulative Stimulated Reservoir Volume as time-based curves, calculate customized curves, or split stages.

• 855724 Stimulation Dynamic Update: You must left-click (MB1) the Stimulation Dynamic Update icon twice to toggle ON the option the first time it is used during a session.

• 857933 Calculations for Horizontal Wells: Calculations for SRV, microseismic event density curves, and seismic moment logs are designed for horizontal wells and may not be correct for vertical wells.

• 873014 Azimuth: If you zoom in on any part of the azimuth ellipse or the azimuth annotation box so that part of it appears outside of the boundaries of the Map view, the azimuth disappears. Workaround: Decrease the zoom, that is, zoom out until the ellipse or annotation box is inside the boundaries of the Map view.

• 874920 Seismic Data: When you try to remove the last seismic data that was displayed, it is automatically re-added when the Section view is displayed. Therefore, if the seismic data was used for coloring microseismic events, the Cube view display will appear out of sync. The Cube view refreshes itself whenever the user removes the seismic data but it is unaware of it being re-added automatically. Workaround: Make any revisions to the stages in the Stimulation Select Session Data lower panel and the Cube view will refresh, putting the display in sync.

• 880359 Crossplot: If you try to update the crossplot or zoom in and zoom out on it, the legend information disappears from the crossplot. Workaround: Increase or decrease the size of the cross plot window and the legend information will appear.

• 884374 Real-time: Performance issues may occur when displaying data from multiple wells and large stages during a real-time job. Workaround: To prevent this from occurring, set environment variable VS_FORCE_GC to 1 by accessing your user’s environment variables and entering VS_FORCE_GC in the Variable Name field and entering 1 in the Variable Value field.

• 886964 Seismic Probe: When you click MB3 on the seismic probe and change the colors in the Colormap column on Select Session Data lower panel, the color of the microseismic events should match the color of the seismic probe but they don’t.

DecisionSpace Well Planning Known Issues

• 888628, 890148 Automatic Animation: When you use the Play or Rewind Button in the Stimulation task pane for animation, turning the inventory stages on and off or clicking the Refresh button on the Stimulation task pane can cause views to display inconsistent data. This can also occur with other user interface interactions specifically when adding, removing, or modifying data in the views. When using automatic animation, it is recommended that you stop the animation before making user interface interactions that would cause changes in the views. Workaround: If you see inconsistent data in the views, resolve it by moving the slider bar on the Stimulation task pane.

• 896002 Polar Plots: Switching the application’s look and feel does not update the background color properly for polar plots that have been opened. Workaround: Resize the window or click the polar plot option again to display a new plot.

• 896048 Opacity: When microseismic events are used with seismic volume or reservoir volume colors, the opacity is determined by the MSE opacity on the MSE tab on the Display Property dialog. Any opacity change made on the seismic volume or reservoir volume fields on the MSE Color tab won’t be reflected on the colors of the microseismic events. However, if the Color Bar is used to change seismic/reservoir opacity of the microseismic events, the opacity is changed.

• 899580 Print Preview: In the DecisionSpace Software, microseismic data displayed as colored dots plot as black in CGM files similarly to how the data appears in Print Preview in CGM

• 899866 DTS Files: Some DTS file formats are not supported.

Defect ID Summary

• 852702 Well Planning does not appear in the releasable license list.

• 866776 Cannot edit plan using grab handles in Section view.

• 866787 Grab handles seem to disappear when moving them in the Section view. (Although grab handles seem to disappear, they are displaying as point targets.)

• 875692 TracPlanner: Dragging and dropping multiple targets into an existing plan only moves one target.

• 879885 Horizontal Target: Previous results display briefly before new results are displayed in the Cube view.

• 880444 Well Planning Tree: The name of a project will only display 15 characters.

• 882935 Well Planning Tree: The copy function moves the item rather than make a duplicate. There is no cut function available.
