KINGDOM Fault Systems KINGDOM Fault Systems Better Technology Better Faults KINGDOM 8.7 provides a number of enhancements to the fault system: Integrated Fault Interpretation and Editing Fault to Fault Clipping More Options for Creating Automatic Fault Polygons Edit any point that intersects with the displayed line Edit the actual fault surface Clip penetrating fault surfaces - a requirement for fault modeling Additional options for creating automatic fault polygons Ease of use for fault editing and interpretation Improved accuracy for fault interpretation Cleaner, more accurate automatic fault polygons Integrated Fault Interpretation and Editing Integrated interpretation and editing mode reduces the confusion of having multiple surface representations (fault segments and fault surfaces) on a single fault. Integrated editing allows the user to edit any point that intersects with the currently displayed line, not just the points originally digitized on the currently displayed VSD. Users can actually edit the surface of the fault. All surface triangle lines which intersect the VSD can be simply edited like any point. 6 KINGDOM 8.7
KINGDOM Fault Systems Fault to Fault Clipping Fault clipping removes fault surfaces that punch through other fault surfaces making more accurate and better looking geological interpretations and is required for fault modeling. When clipping a fault, create a new fault, or simply replace the existing fault. Before clipping, the blue fault penetrates the green fault. After clipping, the faults are sealed. The clipped, blue fault no longer penetrates the green fault. More Options for Creating Automatic Fault Polygons Enhancements to automatic fault polygon creation produces more accurate fault polygons. Smart cleaning will remove only the bad points that have bled through the fault surface and landed on the wrong side of the fault. The option to limit surface construction to points that are within the fault block only, enhances the surface projection to the fault surface and makes a better fault polygon. KINGDOM 8.7 7
Zooming Using the Mouse Wheel Zooming Using the Mouse Wheel With KINGDOM 8.7 you now have the ability to zoom in and out using the mouse center wheel in all display windows. This feature is user controlled and can be turned on or off in the User Preferences dialog box. 8 KINGDOM 8.7
Dipmeter Tadpole Log Plots EarthPAK Dipmeter Tadpole Log Plots Import and display dipmeter Tadpole log plots Display standard dipmeter tadpole plots in section views Dipmeter logs provide an invaluable insight into structural and stratigraphic information that can be used to identify unconformities, folds, channel geometries and validate fault and fracture locations and orientation User Scripts Run custom scripts on logs and zones With KINGDOM 8.7, users can create scripts (in both VB and C#) that can range from simple operations on logs and zones to most complicated petrophysical analysis and zone attribute calculations. Run VB or C# programs on logs and zones Run on single well or in batch mode Output calculated results as logs or zone attributes Improve productivity by sharing specialized knowledge Streamline use of in-house/proprietary equations for analysis KINGDOM 8.7 9
Redesigned Zones and Zone Attributes This functionality is designed for the team that incudes users with programming experience who create the scripts, and members across the teams who run the scripts. This new functionality will improve productivity, facilitate the sharing of specialized knowledge, and support in-house/proprietary equations for analysis. The scripts can be executed on any number of wells in a batch mode. Users can input logs, zones, and constants; and write equations, loops, if-else logic to output as logs or zone attributes all in runtime. Select the script from the designated directory and read the description. View/edit the script details if desired before reading the scrip. Then specify your input and output parameters and Run. Redesigned Zones and Zone Attributes New borehole zones, authored zones, and zone types Define a new zone as a borehole zone, where the upper and lower surfaces are automatically defined by the top and bottom of the borehole. (A default borehole zone is automatically created for each borehole.) Define a new zone as Authored or Public. Copy an existing zone as Authored or Public. Assign a zone type to a zone attribute. Zone attributes can be can be numeric, a date, or text and units. Zone attributes support stored hyperlinks. Borehole zones provide the flexibility to store any attributes that might not be specific to a zone, or any calculations that might span across multiple zones. Users can perform a collaborated analysis with Public zones and/or perform a multitude of analyses individually with authored zones, and share results as needed. Users can store and query important dates and/ or tag key events with date and text attributes. Detailed documents can be linked through the hyperlinks. 10 KINGDOM 8.7

Integrates existing project well information Integrates 2D and 3D seismic data with drilling technology Near real-time drilling progress monitoring Manual and automated correlation of the deviated well log(s) to the guide well log(s) Rapid analysis of pertinent information to retarget the drill bit Collaboration between geologists, geophysicists and engineers KINGDOM Geosteering has a very content and functionality rich vertical cross section views. The geosteering view is based on our Vertical View > Deviated Well Arbitrary Line. One more differentiated is the seismic backdrop. KINGDOM 8.7 31
Helping You Stay in the Sweet Spot Helping You Stay in the Sweet Spot Geosteering Workflow With Geosteering, you can select a planned borehole and show it in a vertical display, mirroring the drilling wells deviation survey. It is also possible to select a drilling well and display it in a vertical view. Log curves can be shown along the drilling wellbore. As the drilling progresses, the incoming updates can be automatically loaded to the drilling well. These incoming update segments are correlated with a user selected reference well log curve. With this action, the geologists are able to track the drilling borehole in relation to the target geologic interval. The Geosteerer can then determine if the drilling path needs to be adjusted: Add or Drop angle to point the drill bit up or down. Fast and robust method of integrating well data and seismic data to steer the drill bit One click data loading: nearly instantaneous, automatic well data loading Quick, efficient Manual Correlation or innovative Automatic Correlation Cost effectiveness: increasing drilling productivity and accuracy Simple for the geosteering geoscientist to set up and use Constant awareness of the original planned wellbore, the actual drilling wellbore and the predicted wellbore path Knowledge retention through input of geological and drilling information into the project 32 KINGDOM 8.7
