DI Web App - Fast and Easier Data Transfer to GeoGraphix - You can now select an Updated Date for the ASCII4 export and the exact record types you want included. These options can greatly decrease the ASCII4 file size and time required to import data into GeoGraphix.
DI Web App - DI Landing Zone Coverage Expanded - DI Landing Zones enable you to control for differences between wells in a targeted zone. This reduces noise in the data by explaining a major contribution to differences in production. Wells with a DI Landing Zone assignment increased by 75% to more than 125,000 wells nationwide. When a wellbore path is not available, in many cases we can now apply a proprietary method to derive the zone. A new DI Landing Zone source column is also available to indicate which zones are geologically interpreted and which are computationally derived.
DI Web App - Table view now includes an Active Filter display so you know what filters are applied without opening the Filter Panel.
DI Web App - Well Card Filing documents now available for West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
DI Web App - Wellbore Trajectories and Reported Bottomhole layers were removed.

DI Web App - Production Data - If any producing entity id for an API10 is marked as active, the WellStatus for the API10 is also active. Previous logic was based on ordering that did not account for well status values. ~69K records updated to an Active status.
DI Web App - Production Data - The New Mexico Oil & Gas Conservation Division (NMOCD) previously supplied monthly bulk data updates. They’ve changed their data model and now offer more frequent updates. As a result, we’ve made several improvements to our manufacturing processes to provide these updates on a weekly, instead of monthly, basis.
Multiple User Improvements - The new Connected Users feature shows concurrent database users.
Multiple User Improvements - The Data Refresh tool now works for Wells data.
Multiple User Improvements - Edit locks no longer affect adding well scalar and zone scalar values in Scout Ticket view. Other areas such as Data Generation still have the locks in place.
Seismic Interpretation Picking Improvements in Vertical Seismic View (VSV) & 3D Scene - Interpolate horizon holes or edges in 3D Scene using the interpolation (I) mode. A double click on the horizon fills an area the size of the brush. Single clicks digitize a polygon area to interpolate fill.
Seismic Interpretation Picking Improvements in Vertical Seismic View (VSV) & 3D Scene - Change horizon picking modes using the right-click menu options. This enhances 2D horizon tracking speeds by using tiling techniques like the 3D tracking methods and by using better logic to recognize the seismic grid orientation.
Seismic Interpretation Picking Improvements in Vertical Seismic View (VSV) & 3D Scene - Improvement of mouse start direction recognition when using horizon Draw (D) mode in 3D Scene and VSV.
Seismic Interpretation Picking Improvements in Vertical Seismic View (VSV) & 3D Scene - Better mouse clicking and slip tolerances improve picking horizons when using Manual (M) and Snap (S) modes.
Seismic Interpretation Picking Improvements in Vertical Seismic View (VSV) & 3D Scene - New horizon picking can now overwrite seeds from prior horizon picking.
Seismic Interpretation Picking Improvements in Vertical Seismic View (VSV) & 3D Scene - When left-click digitizing horizons in S mode, segment pre-render lines keep pace with cursor clicks while regular segments writing to the database. Network speeds for server hosted projects affect segment response.
Seismic Interpretation Picking Improvements in Vertical Seismic View (VSV) & 3D Scene - A new seed type, edge seeds, allows horizon auto-picking to propagate out to the bounding edge seeds; the edge seeds become auto seeds when auto-picking restarts to allow the horizon to grow without leaving relic seeds.
Seismic Interpretation Picking Improvements in Vertical Seismic View (VSV) & 3D Scene - Erase mode now defaults to preserving Manual Picks. To allow erasure, toggle Manual Picks in Erase Parameters.
Seismic Line Rendering Improvements - Use new Basemap options to create, edit, and switch between inlines, crossline, arbitrary lines, and 2D or 2D-3D composite lines. In Basemap, switch between line types, and drag inlines, crosslines, and arbitrary lines while lines are in transect edit mode.
Seismic Line Rendering Improvements - Stay in the same vertical section view by using right-click options to switch between inlines, crosslines, arbitrary lines, as well as fold lines.
Database Administration & Loading - The Drop checksum coding change prevents project migration from using an obsolete MySQL driver.
Database Administration & Loading - The add ordering coding change fixes a potential project migration glitch.
Database Administration & Loading - New file “Parent Directory” and directory “Levels” search options improve bulk loading of raster images with registration files. Levels are relative to the Browse selected registration folder as follows: Level 1 = Folder above registration folder, Level 2 = Registration folder, Level 3 = Subfolder of registration folder.
Known Issues - In Horizon Interpretation: Erase mode (E), if user double clicks or clicks too fast the user will get the message below. To delete more than one point in a row or on a horizon, hold down the left mouse button and move.
Known Issues - Scalar locks from wells and zone scalars have only been removed from Scout Ticket. Locks in areas such as Data Generation are still in place.
Known Issues - A session does not restore in ‘flatten on seismic’ state if VSV was saved in this state.
Known Issues - The ability to flatten on seismic does not exist in 3D view.
Known Issues - TB-9664: NPE error opening session when Well Time Depth Model view is open.
Known Issues - TB-9631: Create 'Net Intervals' from Indicator Log fails to create Net intervals.
Known Issues - Clicking Yes in the ‘Allow Wellbore Editing dialog’ does not delete the child features of the wellbore.
Known Issues - Help files may not work on some computers. This issue is under investigation.
Known Issues - User Data Management: The best practice is to close most views before filtering users. Specifically, open VSV, Cross Section, and Data Generation views do not update after the first application of user filters. Instead, add the user back and filter again to update the views and/or close and reopen views. Also, Stratigraphic columns, Structural models, Well Targeting and Log Viewer do not support user filters.
Known Issues - Large (basin sized) projects: Well lists are slow to create in large volumes.
Known Issues - Large (basin sized) projects: The best practice for multiple user in one database is to set the X4M_DYNAMIC_WORKFLOWS configuration variable to “true” to turn off the option. This reduces the chance of pauses occurring while the blue donut spins.
Known Issues - Large (basin sized) projects: The spinning blue donut can occasionally display for a minute or two as memory appears to load a bunch of new data from the project database into the session. Implementing the above suggestion helps eliminate the pauses.
Known Issues - Basemap: Contours may not create on auto-picked time horizons from large seismic volumes. Instead, click off the Automatic Intervals option and increase the Manual contour interval.
Known Issues - 3D Scene: The Bayesian logic in Transform remembers prior settings and can cause Horizons and picks to display translucent in 3D Scene. Use the Translucence slider in Horizon Style to change the setting for one horizon. To fix for all horizons, delete the files in the folder: C:\Users\steve.kerschbaum\Application Data\Transform\bayes. Your session will have to be closed and reopened before the memory loses the information from the bayes files.
Known Issues - 3D Scene and VSV Horizon Interpretation: When Interpreting multiple horizons in multiple views (VSVs and 3D Scenes), using the CTRL+Z option to undo all seed picks for a horizon can stop the picking mode and can cause another horizon to be in picking mode. Resolve this by cycling the Horizon Interpretation button off and back on.
Known Issues - 3D Scene: For Horizon the “Interpolate/extrapolate” option to work with the “Require seismic data” option, the horizon needs to have an auto-tracked history with the current seismic volume. The “Require seismic data” option prevents interpolation through seismic holes (dead traces)
Known Issues - VSV: When editing and moving a Transect in Basemap that spans two seismic volumes, the seismic traces in the corresponding VSV will update for one volume, but not the second volume. Instead, move the VSV using Page Up or Page Down.
Known Issues - Migrate projects: The automatic launch of DBAdmin from Transform issues the error below. Instead, run DBAdmin.exe to migrate instances and repositories.
Defect Fixes
