RockWorks

Visualizing and Analyzing Subsurface Geologic Data

Integrated geological visualization and analysis software
Addresses the needs of those in the environmental, civil engineering and mining industries
A variety of easy-to-use graphical tools with advanced interpolation algorithms

Overview

RockWorks16 is the latest version of RockWare's flagship software program. RockWorks has long been the standard in the petroleum, environmental, geotechnical and mining industries for subsurface data visualization because of popular tools such as maps, logs, cross sections, fence diagrams, solid models and volumetrics.

RockWorks offers numerous options for analyzing your subsurface data, and accepts many different data types, such as stratigraphy, lithology, quantitative data, color intervals, fracture data and hydrology and aquifer data.

In addition to its already impressive collection of existing capabilities, the latest RockWorks version has numerous new features, including an MDB borehole database, an interactive log designer, graphic editing tools, and much more.

Features

Logs, Log Sections and Log Maps

Create individual logs or multi-log cross sections and maps in 2D and 3D. Arrange log columns using the interactive design window. RockWorks displays both vertical and deviated/inclined wells. Details...

Maps

Use RockWorks to create point, contour, isopach, 3D surface, land grid, and survey maps. Details...

Cross Sections

Create single- and multi-panel 2D cross sections of interpolated lithology, stratigraphy, quantitative data, fractures, and aquifers. Include source log data, borders, titles, legends. Details...

Fence Diagrams

Create 3D cross sections or fence diagrams of interpolated lithology, stratigraphy, quantitative data, colors, fractures, and aquifers. Include source log data, borders, and legends. Details...

3D Solid Models

Use RockWorks to create continuous models - "solid models" or "block models" - of your downhole quantitative data (geochemistry, geophysical, geotechnical), your lithology intervals, and/or your fractures. For quantitative data, a variety of modeling algorithms are available; lithology and fracture modeling use data-specific processes. Details...

Data Types

Use RockWorks to store and interpolate lithology, stratigraphy, geophysical, geochemical, fracture, and water level data. Details...

Database Tools

RockWorks stores data in MS Access (Level 3+) or SQL Server (Level 5) databases. Details...

RockWorks Utilities

Maps, stereonets, rose diagrams, Piper and Stiff diagrams, coordinate conversion and more. Details...

RockWorks EarthApps

A RockWorks EarthApps is a collection of tools used for the creation of Google Earth diagrams. Details...
