Strike and dip tooltip for seismic sections

摘要

A method for displaying exploration and production (E&P) data set during an E&P tool session of a field having a subterranean formation. The method includes generating, by an E&P tool executing on a computer processor during the E&P tool session, an E&P data set based on a subterranean formation field data set, displaying, to a user controlling the E&P tool session, the E&P data set as a multi-dimensional canvas, generating, by the computer processor and in response to a user input identifying a point in the multi-dimensional canvas, a strike&dip tool tip, and further displaying the strike&dip tool tip superimposing the multi-dimensional canvas, wherein the strike&dip tool tip is tagged to the point in the multi-dimensional canvas.

1. A method for displaying a subterranean formation field data set of a field having a subterranean formation, comprising:
displaying a borehole trajectory penetrating the subterranean formation; generating, in response to a user pointing device input identifying a point on the borehole trajectory, a strike&dip tool tip, comprising:
determining, a location of the subterranean formation that corresponds to the point on the borehole trajectory;retrieving, from the subterranean formation field data set, dip information associated with a rock layer at the location of the subterranean formation; andgenerating, based on the rock layer dip information, a graphic component of the strike&dip tool tip, wherein the graphic component is oriented on the borehole trajectory to represent a first orientation of the rock layer at the location of the subterranean; further displaying the strike&dip tool tip superimposing the borehole trajectory, wherein the strike&dip tool tip is tagged to the point on the borehole trajectory; receiving a change in the user pointing device input to move the point along the borehole trajectory; and continually updating, in response to moving the point along the borehole trajectory, the strike&dip tool tip to represent the first orientation of the rock layer along the borehole trajectory.
