GeoData Management

• This course will introduce you to the Landmark utilities that help you manage your projects and data. It covers the various data loaders that OpenWorks provides and gives you practice using them.

• This course will give you the background to:

– Approach the problems inherent in data loading

– Create projects with different subsets of your data

– Understand some basic data model concepts

– Use the various project and data management utilities

Course Objectives

• What utilities and applications comprise the GeoData Management package and how they fit into your workflow

• How to create a project• Database concepts and Terms• How to load and view well data• How to load and view curve data• How to use data mgmt editors and utilities• How to import and manage culture data• How to import and export map data• How to export well and curve data

What is OpenWorks?• A framework that integrates multiple geoscience

disciplines into the same computer environment.

• 3D and 2D seismic interpretation• well log analysis• geologic interpretation• mapping• velocity modeling• data management

• Allows you to interact with more than one application• Allows you to transfer data between applications• OpenWorks allows different kinds of geoscience

applications to work together and share data.

OpenWorks Key Features

• Common application launcher• Standard operation for all OpenWorks applications• Integrated data management• Pointing dispatcher for communication among

applications• Shared utilities• Support for third-party development

Un-integrated Applications

It is difficult or impossible to interact with more than one application at a time, or share data between applications.

Integrated Applications in OW

OpenWorks lets you work the way you are accustomed to working without a computer. You can view a wide variety of data, study multiple problems at the same time, and analyze the same set of data in many different ways.

Database ConceptsOpenWorks uses the ORACLE relational database management system (RDBMS) for storing and retrieving project data.

The Relational Database Management System

RDBMS is a software system for maintaining the integrity of data stored on hard disks.

Data is organized into groups of related data called databases.

RDBMS provides a controlled interface to databases, allowing multiple users to access/change data without corrupting it.

A database in an integrated collection of data that exist independently from any particular user/application.

Data Organization

In a database, related data is grouped into tables.

Tables are composed of rows and columns

In a row, a piece of data is called a field.
