About the time depth wizard

Use the Time Depth wizard to generate a depth grid from grids with various geometries, so you can post the information to your map.

There are two methods of generating a depth grid, and one method of generating an isochore thickness grid.

Calculate depth using average velocity.

  1. Select the appropriate Time and Average Velocity grids. This method uses the horizon gridded in the Time Grid field of the depth equation as the reference horizon.
  2. Type a unique Output Grid Name to identify the newly created depth grid.
  3. Click <OK>. WinPICS stores the new grid in the Depth field of the gridded database.

Calculate depth using Interval Velocity

  1. Select the appropriate Isochron, Interval Velocity and Reference Depth grids.
  2. In the Original Horizon list, select the horizon you want to force the new depth grid to associate with.
  3. Type a unique Output Grid Name to identify the newly created depth grid.
  4. Select the Warp Grid to Tie Well Depths check box if you want to force a second gridding iteration to match the depths at the wells more precisely.
  5. Select a Points Group from the list if you want to force a second gridding iteration to match the depths of the selected points group more precisely.
  6. Click <OK>. WinPICS stores the new grid in the Depth field of the gridded database.

Calculate thickness using interval velocity

  1. Select the appropriate Isochron and Interval Velocity grids.
  2. In the Original Horizon list, select the horizon you want to force the new depth grid to associate with. By default, WinPICS selects the horizon you used to calculate your isochron grid.
  3. Type a unique Output Grid Name to identify the newly created depth grid.
  4. Click <OK>. WinPICS stores the new grid in the User Defined field of the gridded database.
