About Borehole Visualization

Geoscience Interpretation enables you to visualize borehole data in 3D.

Geologists use data from boreholes, also commonly referred to drillholes, to determine the presence of materials and structures, and their relationships to one another, below the Earth's surface.

By default, the app displays a linear trace indicating the geospatial position of each borehole. The trace represents the path of the borehole in the Earth. The borehole collar (starting position), the borehole ID (label), and end of hole position (total depth) are shown.

Downhole measurements and desurvey calculations are used to accurately locate data within the borehole in 3DSpace.

Borehole attribute values can be displayed as cylinders along the borehole trace, where the diameter and color of the cylinders can be used to reflect the presence of the selected attribute values. As a result, you can identify correlations, trends, patterns, or anomalies between intervals along a single borehole trace or between neighboring boreholes. You can also use the borehole data to validate the earth resources and geological units that you have generated using the data.
