Key Updated Features:
New ZoneVu Logo! (NEW)
The New ZoneVu logo is here!
Geosteering: (UPGRADED)
This update introduces significant flexibility in Geosteering workflows by removing dependencies on Type Wells and improving Horizon management. The settings dialog now auto-saves, a new tool for target zone definition and styling, and block manipulation enhance usability.
Geosteering Interpretations no longer require a Type Well to create
If the Active Well has Tops on it, these tops will be used to create a bootstrap interpretation. These bootstrap Horizons will be updated when a Type Well is added
If the Active Well has no Tops, the ‘Reference’ Horizon will be used
Geosteering Horizons no longer require Tops to be present on the Type Well
You can right-click in the Vertical Track and create Horizons on the Geo Interp. This will not create a Top on the Type Well
Geosteering Settings Dialog now auto-saves, ‘OK’ & ‘Apply’ buttons have been removed
Geosteering Target Update: Define a Target Top and Target Base. Can also offset the Targets from a set formation
You do not have to set a Target Base. The Target Top and Target base can be set to the same formations
If you create an offset, a new ‘Target’ Horizon will be created. If you remove the offset, the ‘Target’ Horizon will be deleted
Control of Target Zone Styling in the Horizons tab
Can turn off the Target Zone black dashed boundary line in the Geosteering tab of Scene Control
Removed the Zone tab
Green Lines added to the Horizons list to show the Target Zone
The Percent-In-Zone tool uses the new Target Zone Definition. Users can also set an ‘Analysis Zone’ in the Percent-In-Zone tool
Geosteering Horizons: Geosteering Target Tops have been renamed to ‘Horizons’ to improve clarity
‘Reset Color’ buttons added to the Horizons List (resets all Horizons Colors to the Strat Column defaults) and the Horizon Styling section (only resets the selected Horizons to the Strat Column defaults)
Import and Export dialogs will auto-close when the action completes. A green toast notification will also be shown
New Geosteering Interpretations have Geosteering Blocks that extend to the end of the Active Well Plan or Actual Wellbore, whichever has a greater MD
Geosteering Edit mode is preserved during a tab refresh and moving in/out of the Report Generator
Support for bulk Geosteering Block selection and TVD shift in the Cross Section and Vertical Tracks
Bulk selected blocks now have a blue shading, red block colors, and LWD data associated with the blocks will be highlighted red
Removed the ‘Hang’ horizon and right-click ‘Shift Interp’ workflow
You can now select all the Interpretation Blocks and shift them in the Cross-Section or Vert Track
Added a ‘Reference’ Horizon. This will be used when Geosteering Interpretations are created without Active Well Tops or a Type Well Tops
Type Well Curves can be hung on the top of the base of the Target Zone
The user can control what block is selected when a Geosteering Block is broken (Scene Control → Geosteering tab → General tab)
Ability to select a group of Interpretation Blocks and merge them into a single block
Support for Auto Geosteering Block Extension: Last Survey & Hole Depth. Can define a distance the block is extended beyond the Last Survey or Hole Depth
Well Logs: (NEW)
Introduces new capabilities for log visualization, including crossover display and scale inversion. The Manual Drilling Dialog now supports LAS file auto-match for improved workflow.

Users can be assigned to multiple Business Units
Shared Projects can be assigned to Business Units in the receiving Companies' account
ZoneVu Frac: (Updated)
