Starting Geolog

On UNIX

Change directory to the project directory, if required.

Enter geolog6

Or

Enter the full path to the Geolog6 startup script; for example:

% /bin/geolog6

On Windows

Click on Start > (All) Programs > Geolog6 > Geolog6(assuming the defaults have been used during installation).

NOTE On startup Geolog opens the previously opened project. If a project has not been previously opened, the project dialog box is displayed.

The Geolog Launcher Bar is then displayed.

For a complete description of the Project Select dialog box components see "Project Select Dialog Box" on page 1-8.

"Project Management" on page 1-5 which provides comprehensive information on creating and opening projects in Geolog.

Automatically Open Project on Startup on page 4-12 in the Environment documentation for further information on specifying the project to be opened upon initial startup.

Starting Applications

To start a Geolog application On the Geolog Launcher Bar:

Click the button for the required application.

OR

Select the Applications menu and choose from the displayed list.

Note that once a Geolog application has been started:

other applications (document views) can be opened within some of the applications using the [application name] > View menu (e.g. in Well, select Well > View > Artist... to open an Artist


view and file); see Using Geolog for further information on opening multiple document views within an application;

from within some applications, other Geolog applications can be started separately (e.g. in Project, select Tools > Well... to start the Well application); see the documentation for the application for further information.


Project Management

Project File Structure

A project groups related wells together so they can be managed and analyzed effectively. A project can also be seen as a directory that contains log data, wells, plots, functions, reports, layouts, specifications and sections. A number of current projects may be grouped as working projects, with each project typically identified using names of basins, fields, authority permits, and so on.

When a new project is created, a project directory and the following subdirectories under the project directory are created:

data data to load, unloaded well data, tape devices

layouts display specifications for data, xplots, frequencies

loglan loglan programs and executables, modules

plots CGM pictures, plotter devices

reports load, well, regression, etc. reports

specs load specifications, application parameters, etc.

wells loaded well data

Other directories for the project are created by Geolog as required (e.g., when you create and save a cross section):

functions curves, macros, polygons

sections section display specifications

The following directories may be created, if required, but are generally used for the site project (see Project Structure on page 3-3 for information on Geolog project types).

graphics patterns, fill, markers

app-defaults menu files

bin executables, environment specifications

New projects are created from the Geolog Launcher Bar. Existing projects can be opened from the Unix prompt or the Geolog Launcher Bar.

Creating New Projects

To create a new project1. If you have just started Geolog, click on the Cancel button in the Project Select dialog box (see

Fig. 1).

If Geolog is already running, from the Geolog Launcher Bar, select Project > New.

The New Project dialog box is then displayed.

2. Fill in the fields of the New Project dialog box as described in Table 1-1, "New Project Dialog Box Components" on page 1-6.

Automatically Open Project on Startup on page 4-12 in the Environment documentation for further information on specifying the project to open on initial startup.

"Changing Working Directories" on page 1-12 for information on specify a working directory.

Private and Public Projects

When using the New Project dialog box to create new projects:

if the Public radio button is selected, the project is available to all users of Geolog;

if the Private radio button is selected, the project is restricted (via the user ID) to the user who created the project. Other users can be given access permission to private projects by modifying the Study in the PNS Manager (Project Control) on page 4-13.

Opening Projects

A new project name and description (as well as all other data from the New Project dialog box) are stored in the pns_.projects file, by default in the /PNS3TE/config directory. This file is used by Geolog to display all projects available to the user, based upon filtering criteria, in the "Project Select Dialog Box" on page 1-8.

All projects for your site should be listed for selection but note that directory and file read/write permissions will affect your ability to open and/or make changes to projects.

Removing / Changing Projects

Before a project is removed or renamed it must first have its entry removed from the project registry.

The individual with the required permissions (usually the Systems or Project Administrator) can remove/change projects as follows:

Remove the entry from the project registry (see "Deregistering Projects" on page 1-11).

Rename the project directory, or archive/delete the project directory and its subdirectories (see "Project File Structure" on page 1-5).

Deregistering Projects

A user can deregister projects over which he/she has ownership. NOTE that deregistering a project DOES NOT remove the project data/files - it only removes the project name from te Project Select Dialog box.

1. From the Geolog Launcher Bar, select Project > Deregister... to display the "Project Select Dialog Box" on page 1-8.

2. Select "Mine" from the Owner dropdown list button.

3. Select the required project and click on OK to display the Deregister Project confirmation dialog box.

4. Click on OK to confirm the process.

Displaying Project Information

From the Geolog Launcher Bar, select Project > Properties... to display information such as the full path name, type of database and host name of the currently open project.


Changing Working Directories

If a project was created without a working directory, or if the working directory no longer exists, Geolog will change to (or remain) in the current working directory.

To change the working directory Select Project > Change Directory... from the Geolog Launcher Bar to open the Directory

Select dialog box.


Program Interaction

The following options are selected from the Project menu on the Geolog Launcher Bar.

Run Command

Select Project > Run... to run a command shell script or program. See Run Commands on page 1-38 for further details. Note that the Run command is also available on most Geolog application menus.

Terminal (Shell)

Select Project > Terminal(Shell) ... to start your default shellthe command prompt for Windows and the XTerm for Unix.

Terminal (Tcl)

Select Project > Terminal(Tcl) ... to launch Geologs Tcl shell to interact with Geolog. See Tcl/Tk Reference for further information on Tcl.


Closing Geolog

From the Geolog Launcher Bar, select Project > Exit to close your project and exit Geolog.


Administration

Select the Administration menu on the Geolog Launcher Bar to perform Geolog licensing and project administration tasks, to use the Configuration Editor on page 5-20 and to set the OpenWorks Interpreter. See Licensing on page 6-1, PNS Manager (Project Control) on page 4-13 and Set Interpreter on page 2-52 for further information.

Set Epos User

This allows the user to run in either in EPOS3 or EPOS4 mode. Selecting "Use Epos User" runs in EPOS4 mode. See Set Epos User in the PNS User Guide for more information.

This setting has an affect on what is displayed in the Open and New dialogs. For example, a selected Epos user is only applicable for certain hosts and therefore the "Hosts" within combo box will list only those hosts. Project listing also updated to show relevant public/private EPOS3 or EPOS4 projects.
