In addition, OpenSpirit Client listens for data change events and updates thecorresponding SKUA or GOCAD object if an external program modifies an OpenSpiritobject. An automatic update occurs in SKUA or GOCAD if the object is modified in thedata store while connected to the OpenSpirit Session. For more information aboutOpenSpirit sessions, see "Getting Started with OpenSpirit Client" on page 2-5.

2.1.2 Application Integration with OpenSpiritClient

With OpenSpirit Client, SKUA or GOCAD listens for and sends a variety of events (seeTable 22) that allows it to interact with other OpenSpirit-enabled programs, includingnative OpenWorks and GeoFrame programs.

Table 22 Interactionevents

Examples You can broadcast data selection events from ArcView and SKUA or GOCAD will reactand display data coming f rom an OpenSpirit connected data store (requires ArcViewExtension).

You can bidirectionally share cursor tracking events with StratWorks or SeisWorks(running on Solaris or Linux) and SKUA or GOCAD (running anywhere).

You can broadcast selection events from the GeoFrame data manager (on Linux) topopulate SKUA or GOCAD with selected wells, logs, and markers.

You can preview log data in the OpenSpirit Well Viewer and then broadcast thehighlighted logs to SKUA or GOCAD.

You can update well correlations in another OpenSpirit-enabled program and SKUAor GOCAD immediately updates the measured depth of the corresponding wellmarker.

2.2 Getting Started with OpenSpirit Client 2-5User Guide

2.2 Getting Started with OpenSpirit ClientBefore you can use OpenSpirit Client, you must first start OpenSpirit Launcher (theOpenSpirit Corporation program) and connect to an OpenSpirit Session. The OpenSpiritSession sets the scope of collaboration among programs and includes some preferencesettings (coordinate system and units preferences, for example). An OpenSpirit project,called a ProjectSet., must be associated with the Session. A ProjectSet in OpenSpirit is a"virtual" project that can be shared with other users in your organization; it defines thescope of data you want to work with in a given Session. Your ProjectSet can have projectsfrom multiple vendor programs and versions.

After you set up the Session and connect to it in OpenSpirit Launcher, you must thenconnect to the same Session in SKUA or GOCAD.

For information, see the following topics:

"To set up an OpenSpirit Session," page 2-5 "To connect to the OpenSpirit Session in SKUA or GOCAD," page 2-10

Notes

This section summarizes the steps required in OpenSpirit Launcher. Details regarding starting

the OpenSpirit Launcher, creating an OpenSpirit Session, and creating an OpenSpirit ProjectSetare all in the OpenSpirit Users Guide, which is installed locally with the program and available

at http://www.openspirit.com/documentation.html. The OpenSpirit Users Guide also explains

the options that appear when you close OpenSpirit Launcher.

For information about how to install OpenSpirit, see the OpenSpirit Users Guide. OpenSpiritClient is installed automatically when you install SKUA or GOCAD, with access controlled

through License Manager. If you are using OpenSpirit Client in a UNIX or Linux environment,

one additional configuration step is needed to specify where OpenSpirit is installed on your

computer. For information, see the Installation Guide.

To set up anOpenSpirit Session

1 Do one of the following to start OpenSpirit Launcher:

If you are working in the Windows environment, click OpenSpirit Launchericonon your Windows desktop.

If you are working in the UNIX environment, type openspiritin the bin directoryof the OpenSpirit installation.

2 If you are starting Open Spirit Launcher for the first time, register as a new OpenSpirituser when the OpenSpirit User Registration dialog box appears. You can either createa new OpenSpirit user or "alias" to an existing one. The most common case is tocreate a new OpenSpirit user by typing your UNIX user ID, the name of the UNIX host,and password.

4 In the Well import domainarea, select the domain in which you want to loadOpenSpirit well data by clicking Timeor Depth. OpenSpirit will convert well data inthe depth domain to time if you select the Timeoption and a preferred checkshotsurvey (well time-depth table) exists for the well in the source data store.

Notes

Converting to the time domain has no affect on the data residing in the data store; itchanges the domain in SKUA or GOCAD. If you update the converted wells in SKUA or

GOCAD, you will not be able to export them back to the data s tore while they are still in

the time domain.

If your wells in the data store are in depth, you select the Timeoption, and no checkshotsurvey exists, you will not be able to load the wells into SKUA or GOCAD.

After successful connection, a lightning bolt icon ( ) appears on the OpenSpirit

toolbar, indicating that SKUA or GOCAD is now "listening" for selection events. You canalso see the name of the OpenSpirit session at any time by resting the pointer over the

icon.

2.4 Loading External Data with OpenSpirit DataSelector 2-13User Guide

2.4 Loading External Data with OpenSpiritDataSelectorTable 23summarizes the data types you can load from an OpenSpirit-enabled data storeinto SKUA or GOCAD.

Table 23 OpenSpirit-supported data types you

can load

When you load data into SKUA or GOCAD through OpenSpirit, you are creating a link tothe data store: the data resides in the data store rather than on disk in SKUA or GOCADformat. You can work with the loaded data the same way that you would work with anyother data created in SKUA or GOCAD or imported using file converters. If you decidethat you want the objects to be stored with the project in SKUA or GOCAD format, savethe project.

For basic information about how to use OpenSpirit DataSelector to load data into SKUAor GOCAD, see the following topics:

"Loading Wells, Markers, and Logs with OpenSpirit DataSelector," page 2-14 "Loading 3D Seismic Volumes with OpenSpirit DataSelector," page 2-17 "Loading Horizons with OpenSpirit DataSelector," page 2-19 "Loading Fault Sticks with OpenSpirit DataSelector," page 2-20

Note For complete details regarding the DataSelector, see the OpenSpirit Users Guide. It includes

information about how to:

Query data based on attribute values or spatial location. This is a powerful capability; forexample, you can construct an attribute query to find all active wells with a total depth greater

than 7000 feet.

Display data in project units and coordinate system or use session preferences. Save query criteria and display preferences (in an XML file) for later reuse. Query across multiple projects of any type. Control which attributes are displayed in the DataSelector.

2.5 Loading External Data with OpenSpirit Viewers or Third-Party Programs 2-21User Guide

2.5 Loading External Data with OpenSpiritViewers or Third-Party ProgramsFrom the OpenSpirit 3D Viewer, you can load the same OpenSpirit data types into SKUAor GOCAD as with the DataSelector. For a list of the OpenSpirit data types that you canload into SKUA or GOCAD and the resulting SKUA or GOCAD object types, see "Loading

External Data with OpenSpirit DataSelector" on page 2-13.

As OpenSpirit Client listens to data selection events, the data selection event can comefrom any program that can send such an event. The OpenSpirit 3D Viewer is such aprogram, as well as ArcView Extension and other programs such as SeisWorks when theOpenWorks Pointing Dispatcher event is translated into an OpenSpirit data selectionevent.

This section explains how to load data from the 3D Viewer or Well Viewer in OpenSpirit.You can use the same general approach to load eligible data into SKUA or GOCAD fromother OpenSpirit-enabled programs.

To load data from an

OpenSpirit viewer

1 Ensure the OpenSpirit viewer and SKUA or GOCAD are connected to the same

OpenSpirit session. For information about how to connect to an OpenSpirit session,see "Getting Started with OpenSpirit Client" on page 2-5.

2 In the OpenSpirit viewer, select the object you want to load into SKUA or GOCAD (the

object must be highlighted), and then click Broadcast .

Note To load a well pick (marker) or log into SKUA or GOCAD from the OpenSpirit Well

Viewer, the well on which the marker or log is defined should already be in the SKUA or

GOCAD project.

The object appears in the Objectsbrowser.

2.6 Tracking Pointer Location ThroughOpenSpiritWith OpenSpirit Client, you can share pointer location information between SKUA orGOCAD and any number of Open-Spirit-enabled programs: OpenSpirit Viewers, nativeOpenWorks and GeoFrame programs (requires the appropriate OpenSpirit event gateway

to be running), and/or ArcView (requires the ArcView extension). The programs must beconnected to the same OpenSpirit session.


"To receive pointer location events," page 2-22 "To send pointer location events," page 2-22

To receive pointerlocation events

1 Ensure the OpenSpirit-enabled program and SKUA or GOCAD are connected to thesame OpenSpirit session. For information about how to connect to an OpenSpiritsession, see "Getting Started with OpenSpirit Client" on page 2-5.

2 In an OpenSpirit-enabled program, click Send Cursor Events .

3 In SKUA or GOCAD, cl ick Listen to Cursor Events .

4 Move the pointer in the other program.

In SKUA or GOCAD, 3D Pointer and Get XYZ Coordinate turn on

automatically. As you move the pointer in the other program or if you pick a point, thepointer moves to the same location in the 3D Viewer. The coordinates display on thestatus bar at the bottom of the window.

To send pointerlocation events

1 Ensure the OpenSpirit-enabled program and SKUA or GOCAD are connected to thesame OpenSpirit session. For information about how to connect to an OpenSpiritsession, see "Getting Started with OpenSpirit Client" on page 2-5.

2 In SKUA or GOCAD, cl ick Send Cursor Events .

3 In an OpenSpirit-enabled program, click Listen to Cursor Events .

4 In SKUA or GOCAD, cl ick Get XYZ Coordinate on the Selectiontoolbar, and

then pick a point on an object in the 3D Viewer.

The location is sent to the other program and the pointer moves to that location. If youpick on a voxet that was loaded from OpenSpirit, there may be a delay because the valuemust be retrieved from the data store in OpenSpirit.

2.7.1 Exporting a Well Through OpenSpirit

You can export one or more wells to an OpenSpirit-enabled data store. You specify whichOpenSpirit project to export to. If you loaded any of the wells from the specifiedOpenSpirit project and then modified it in SKUA or GOCAD, the command updates thewell in OpenSpirit. If a well you select to export does not already exist in the project, the

command creates a new well. Wells in the depth domain can be exported. Exporting wellsin the time domain is not supported.
