Grid and Contour: Contour Extents

The Contour Extents page allows you to specify the name extension for the contour layer and compute the minimum and maximum Z values for the generated contours.



Contour Name

Name Extension: If gridding seismic interpretation data, the contour name that selected will be added after the horizon name. If gridding well tops, the contour name that is selected will be added after the formation name. If creating a grid with contours, the gridding extension will automatically be used.

Contour Smoothing Parameters

Smooth Contour: You have the option to smooth a contour using a spline or using a grid method. When using a grid to smooth the line, the original grid is resized to 5 times its original size and then the contours are generated as normal, which produces a smoother line because the grid is finer. Using a grid to smooth the contours means that you will not get overlapping contours or loops happening where there are cusps in the contour line.

Contour Z Range Parameters

Compute Data Range: This option will look through the grid data for the minimum and maximum Z values. 

Clear Overrides: This will clear any overrides that the user has defined. The contours will be generated across the entire range of grid Z values.

Minimum Value: This is the minimum Z value of the generated contours.

Data: The computed minimum contour value based on the input data. Note: It's recommended that you round off the minimum value as this is the value for the first contour.

User Overrides: Enter a value to determine the value of the first contour.

Maximum Value: This is the maximum Z value of the generated contours.

Data: The computed maximum contour value based on the input data. 

User Overrides: Enter a value to determine a maximum contour value. The final maximum value will be based on the minimum contour value and the contour interval.
