The RockWare LogPlot Tutorial is a structured training guide designed to teach geoscientists, hydrogeologists, and engineers how to turn complex field data into professional graphic boring logs. In environmental well logging, where subsurface contamination and site safety are critical, the tutorial shows users how to streamline the presentation of intricate geological and environmental datasets. The Core LogPlot Workflow
The tutorial guides users through the core software workflow on the official RockWare Platform, which relies on four main components:
Log Designer: Creating or modifying the “blueprint” of the log, divided into the header, body, and footer.
Data Editor: Entering or importing raw data (such as lithology, water levels, or chemical concentrations) into tabbed mini-datasheets.
Log Compiler: Merging the data file into the design layout at a specified vertical scale.
Log Viewer: Reviewing, printing, or exporting the final compiled single-page or multi-page graphic log. Key Lessons for Environmental Applications
Environmental data is uniquely complex, requiring the simultaneous mapping of soil types, water tables, and chemical contaminants. The tutorial breaks down these complexities into practical steps: 1. Mapping Contaminants and Vapors
Fill Bars: Tutorials explain how to utilize downhole fill bars to visibly highlight sample intervals, recovery rates, and the presence of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) or other contaminants.
Chemical Logs: Users learn to map Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and volatile vapors alongside geological structures by setting up custom curve or bar graph tracks. 2. Well Construction Diagrams LogPlot Environmental & Geotechnical Industries – RockWare
