Example Flow: Processing Deviation Surveys
This Flow covers how to use a Flow to process your deviation surveys. The Flow uses the following tools:
- PointsInput >> Brings the deviation surveys data into the Flow
- DeviationsToXYZ >> Processes the deviations
- PointsOutput >> Writes the flow to a new points database
The PointsInput is where you select your import deviations survey. You should import deviation surveys in a format similar to what is shown here with columns for API, MD, Inclination, and Azimuth.
The DeviationsToXYZ tool puts the deviations into the format Danomics uses internally for all displays, mapping, and gridding operations. All you need to do in this tools is ensure your column names match the options. PointsOutput will write the result, which will look like the following.
Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to process your deviations before you do any of the other gridding flows the require deviations or before using them in a petrophysics project.
- Make sure that the input / output have distinct names!

Quick Start Module
Purpose The Quick Start module is designed to help users quickly set dozens of common parameters by selecting a handful of basic options from dropdown menus. Parameters There are three parameters that are set on a zone-by-zone basis and two parameters that are set on a full-well basis. These are as follows. Discussion The parameters are linked to what are called named_defaults in the software. These are collections of defaults that can be set through assigning a single parameter.
Making Log Calculations in a Flow
This articles provides an overview of how to use a Flow to before basic log calculations. To do this, the following Flow tools are used: LogInput >> Bring the log data into the Flow LogMath >> Perform some calculation LogOutput >> Writes the log data to a new log database. There can be as many LogMath tools added to a flow as one would like, and they can be added to existing Flows ushc as a Log Clean-up Flow. The LogMath tool is extremely flexible.
