Quality Filtering on Structural Dip

Analysis
Dip Quality curve

While dip picking and interpreting a borehole image, a


quality value can be assigned to the dips.
By default, manually picked dips are automatically given a
quality value of 1 (scale 0-1).
To change the quality value, the user needs to place the
cursor over the dip, right-click and select Assign a quality
value.
A Quality curve will be saved in the dips dataset that can be
used later on to filter between high and
low quality dips.
Creating a new Quality based classification

In order to use, in a later stage, only high quality dips for a structural dip analysis, a
new classification has to be created.
To do that, a stereonet plot will be used.

When displaying the dips, the


classification type variable is
automatically used as a filter.
The idea now is to use the Quality
curve as a filter but from the
contextual menu and reassign the
selection to a new classification.
Creating a new Quality based classification
For the Structural dip analysis, the structure dips are
the ones to be used for creating the sequence dips.

For that, the Shale bedding and Heterolithic bedding


are selected in the filter tab since they are supposed
to be horizontal or sub-horizontal originally.

Then, from the contextual menu, all the dips that


have a quality value greater than 0.6 for instance are
also filtred (RMB on the main window / Define / and
type “Quality>0.6 ”).

Using the polygon, available in the stereonet mouse


tool bar, all the displayed points are selected and
assigned to a new class called High quality
structural dips.
Assign a selection to a new class type
1- Click on the Add new 2- Assign the selection to 3- Save the new classification
element from the bottom of the new created element curve either overwriting the
the filter side box tab and preexisting one or as a new
give it a new name version
Structural Dip Analysis

Start the Structural dip analysis (Geology tab > WBI > Dips handling > Structural dip
analysis), Drag and drop a dip dataset and go to the parameters tab.
Now it’s possible to consider the high quality structure dips (Shale bedding +
Heterolethic bedding of a quality value above 0.6 for our example) only.
