Analysing Data

Leapfrog Energy has a number of tools that help you with analysing your data:

General Data Tools

The Properties Window

The most basic information about an object is contained in the object’s Properties window, which is specific to the type of object. Right-click on the object in the project tree and select Properties:

The Properties window for an object, whose General tab summarises how it was built

See the Viewing Object Properties topic for more information.

Visualising Data

Visualising data using the shape list and the shape properties panel is an important part of interpreting and refining data and making modelling decisions. The tools available depend on the type of object being displayed, and many objects can be displayed evaluated on other objects.

Another useful tool in analysing the data displayed in the scene is the Scene Details panel, which shows more detailed information about a data objects clicked on in the scene:

Clicking an interval in the scene opens a panel giving its hole ID, depth and every column value for that row

See the following topics for more information:

Statistics Tables

For many data tables, you can view a table of statistics for multiple attributes. To do this, right-click on a table in the project tree and select the Statistics option. A window will appear showing you what statistics tables are available for that table:

Right-clicking a table and choosing Statistics, which offers a table of statistics, scatter plot, Q-Q plot, box plot or interval length statistics

See the Saved Statistics topic for more information.

Some data objects have additional statistics information in their Properties windows. For example, here the Properties window for an interpolant includes a Statistics tab:

Structural Data Tools

Stereonets

Stereonets are useful for visualising structural data and identifying trends in 2D. Errors in categorisation of structural data can also become apparent when the data is viewed on a stereonet.

See the Stereonets topic.

Form Interpolants

Form interpolants are useful for visualising structural data and identifying broad trends in 3D. The form interpolant’s meshes can then be used to control other surfaces in the project.

Drilling Data Tools

Well Correlation

With the well correlation tool, you can view and compare selected wells in a 2D view. You can then create interpretation tables in which you can assign and adjust intervals and create new intervals. Interpretation tables are like any other interval table in a project and can be used to create models.

Well Planning

You can plan wells, view prognoses for models in the project and export planned wells in .csv format. See:
