Launch GeoSyn from IHS Kingdom in order to create synthetic models based on Kingdom wells.
When launched from Kingdom, GeoSyn creates a GeoSyn directory under the Kingdom project directory. All GeoSyn data associated with the model you create is written to this location.
To launch GeoSyn from Kingdom
1. With Kingdom running, launch GeoSyn from one of the following locations:
Right-click a single well using the Wells > All Wells node in the Project Tree tab of the Tree dialog box and select GeoSyn This enables you to import data for only that particular well, but you can download the data for that entire project by clicking Visible well list to the right of the Get label that appears in the Kingdom Data Browser dialog box (below).
You must right-click precisely on the well, otherwise you retrieve the entire visible well list and must manually find the desired well.
From the Project menu, click GeoSyn.
From the Wells menu, click GeoSyn.
Unlike the first option in the list above, the last two options import data for all of the wells on the Kingdom project's visible well list. Some of the wells on the Kingdom base map may be hidden, but can still be retrieved using GeoSyn at any time.
The Kingdom Data Browser dialog box appears.
Filter the results displayed in the drop-down list near the top of the dialog in which you select the wells by clicking check boxes to the right of the Hide if well label, and select the columns to display in the Model Options pane by clicking check boxes to the right of the Identify by label.
Where the well includes a directional survey, select whether to convert it to true vertical depth.
If you selected a model above, an Open button appears in the bottom-right of the above dialog box and when clicked, immediately opens a new or existing GeoSyn synthetic.
If you selected Log(s) above, the Next button appears in the bottom-right of the above dialog box that when clicked, displays the Kingdom Data Browser dialog box, where you apply corrections to the data and select display options for the resulting model before launching GeoSyn.
Make selections in the dialog box above and then click Apply. If you tie the synthetic to a single depth point, click View and Edit to display the Time/Depth Quality Control dialog boxes where you apply changes to the time depth curve before applying it to the sonic.
Note: In order for changes made using the Time/Depth Quality Control dialog boxes to be applied, upon exiting that dialog box, when the Save Modified Time/Depth Chart dialog box appears, you must click Save.
The synthetic is created based on the well imported above. The above dialog box remains visible and the Apply button changes to an Undo button in case you want to apply different data correction options or select a different depth chart. The Back button also remains active in the above dialog box so that you can add additional logs to the model. If importing additional logs, GeoSyn warns you so that you don't inadvertently apply the same time depth chart twice.
3. Tie the imported seismic section to a model (for details, see Related Topics below).
4. From the File menu, click Save.
This option is only available in GeoSyn when it's launched from Kingdom.
The Save Model Data dialog box appears.
5. Specify the outputs to save that can be used by Kingdom, and then click Save.
