How to export a Geosteering Interpretation and a walkthrough of the export file

Last updated on 28 Jan, 2026

Exporting a Geosteering Interpretation:

  1. Open the Geosteering Interpretation Management window

  2. Select the geosteering interpretation you wish to export

  3. Click the Export button

Image

 

  • The Export Geosteering Interpretation window will open

Image
  • You can export geosteering interpretations in three different formats

    • Delimited Text file

    • ZMapPlus data point file

    • ZoneVu JSON file

Image
  • Select the desired export format

    • Each format has a specific GUI displaying all export options/parameters

      • See below for options and parameters explanation

  • Select the options and parameters needed for your export

  • Click the "Export" button to start downloading your geosteering export

Export Options:

  • Export all displayed tops: Will export the TVD, TVT, and Elevation for every top selected in the Tops tab of the Geosteering Interpretation Settings

  • Apply amplitude normalization: Will export the “Normalized” log curves (Curve Conditioning Applied)

    • Curve Conditioning: Defined in the Conditioning tab in the Log Curve Display Settings, applies a bulk shift and multiplier to the original log data. The exported log curve header will indicate the “Shift” and “Multiplier” applied to the original log data. (See Geosteering Export Columns below for an example)

Image
  • Export all displayed curves: Exports all displayed logs including (LWD, LAS, Modeled Type Log, and Frac Curves)

    • LWD Log: Horizontal Well (Active Well) GR log used for geosteering, as defined in the Geosteering Interpretation Settings

    • LAS Log: Log(s) for the Horizontal Well (Active Well) loaded into ZoneVu as a .las file

    • Modeled Type Logs: Type Well logs that have been modeled along the Horizontal Well (Active Well) using the Geosteering Interpretation

    • Frac Curves: Frac Table data displayed as a log along the Horizontal Well (Active Well)

  • Sampling Options

    • Interpretation Blocks: Exports data points based on the Geosteering Blocks

      • BlockBoundaries: Exports locations chosen at the start and stop MD depths for all Geosteering Interpretation Blocks

      • Normal Faults: Export locations chosen at block boundaries, when a fault is present, the export location is adjusted to ensure there are no multi-valued data points for the same MD

      • MidPoints: Exports data at the midpoint of each Geosteering Interpretation Block

    • Regular Spacing: Data exported is taken at regular intervals as defined by the user

  • Delimited Text Options: Delimiter can be specified by the user

    • Tab (Default)

    • Comma

    • Space

    • Pipe

    • Tilde

Geosteering Export Columns:

ImageImage
  • MD: MD depth of the sampled data

  • INCL: Inclination of the wellbore at the sampled depth

  • AZI: Azimuth of the wellbore at the sampled depth

  • VX: VX location of the wellbore at the sampled depth

  • TVD: TVD depth of the wellbore at the sampled depth

  • Elevation: SSTVD depth of the wellbore at the sampled depth

  • Latitude: Latitude location of the wellbore at the sampled depth (In the Project’s Datum)

  • Longitude: Longitude location of the wellbore at the sampled depth (In the Project’s Datum)

  • X: X footage of the wellbore at the sampled depth in the Datum footage

  • Y: Y footage of the wellbore at the sampled depth in the Datum footage

  • DX: X footage distance from the sample location to surface location

  • DY: Y footage distance from the sample location to surface location

  • DLS: Dogleg severity of the wellbore at the sampled depth

  • BlockDip: Dip of the related Geosteering Interpretation Block

  • "Formation Name" TVT: TVT depth of the formation at the sampled depth

  • "Formation Name" TVD: TVD depth of the formation at the sampled depth

  • "Formation Name" Elevation: SSTVD elevation depth of the formation at the sampled depth

  • "Log B" [Type Well Name]-NORMALIZED[VAL=Shift+Multiplier*Org Val]: Normalized Log Values for "Log B”. Header name will indicate the source well for this data, along with the Shift and Multiplier applied to “Normalize” the Orignal Log data [Red Box]

  • "Log A": Log values from "Log A” at the sampled depth

  • GR-LWD: Gamma-ray vales at the sampled depth, for the LWD log associated with the Geosteeering interpretation

  • GAS: Gas vales at the sampled depth, for the Active Well, taken from RigStream data or a loaded .las file

  • ROP: Rate of penetration values at the sampled depth, for the Active Well, taken from RigStream data or a loaded .las file

  • WOB: Weight on bit values from the sampled depth, for the Active Well, taken from RigStream data or a loaded .las file

  • Frac Log(s): Vales at the sampled depth from the specific Frac Log(s) [Green Box]

  • "Log A”-TYPE [Source Well Name]: Values at the sampled depth from the modeled Type Well log "Log A” [Blue Box]
