Overview
Strater is a powerful and innovative well log, borehole and cross section plotting software package for geoscientists. With its modern and easy-to-use user interface, Strater is so straightforward even a beginner can create high-quality professional representations of subsurface data in no time. Strater is compatible with all popular data formats, and can graphically display the data in fourteen fully customizable log types.
Features
Projects
We want to make sure you can have all your information easily accessible in one project file. Strater projects are made up of views (borehole views, map views, and cross section views) and data tables. The graphical display in each of the views is based on the data loaded into the data tables. Details...
Borehole View
Strater can create a map of your area, showing borehole locations and base map files. You can create a wells map, which posts a symbol at each borehole location. You can label the symbols, change the symbol properties of the individual boreholes, and add base maps (i.e. georeferenced imagery, DXF and SHP files). Details...
Map View
Strater can create a map of your area, showing borehole locations and base map files. You can create a wells map, which posts a symbol at each borehole location. Connect the boreholes in the map to automatically create a cross section. You can also create a base map without the borehole locations, adding as many base map files as needed. Details...
Cross Section View
Automatically create true, full-color customizable cross sections! Cross sections can be created from your lithology or interval data by simply connecting boreholes in a map view and pressing a button. Subsurface visualization has never been this easy. Details...
Log Types
Strater logs give you full control over all log parameters. You can accept the Strater defaults to automatically create a log, or select a log and easily customize the log features in the Property Manager. Details...
Headers and Footers
Utilize the header and footer design areas to include comprehensive text descriptions, linked text, legends, imported image files, or drawing objects. You can set the header and footer areas to be any size you wish. Details...
Data Tables
Quickly prepare your data with Strater’s spreadsheet-like data table features: Details...
True Vertical Depth
Strater allows you the flexibility of displaying your data in measured depth or true vertical depth! Specify the inclination and azimuth information for your hole either in the collars table (a single set of values for the entire hole), in the data table with the actual hole data, or load a deviation survey into a survey table. Details...
Voxler Interface
Quickly and easily visualize your borehole data in 3D with Voxler! Strater comes with built-in commands that will transfer the data from Strater and build the visualization automatically in Voxler. Details...
Templates
It is faster to update a project with new data than to start from scratch. Using template files is an essential tool designed to make bulk log processing easy and efficient. Once a project file is designed, you can reuse the design by saving it as a template. Details...
Schemes
Schemes provide a way to load drawing properties based on a keyword or range value defined in the imported data. For example, a lithology log uses a lithology keyword scheme. The lithology keyword scheme contains keywords, such as granite, clay, etc. Each of these keywords is assigned a fill pattern, contact line properties, line properties, and text properties. Details...
View Manager
Use the View Manager to manage the different borehole views, cross section views, and map views contained in the project. Multiple views are useful for displaying multiple designs for multiple boreholes or displaying different layouts for the same data. Details...
Object Manager
The Object Manager makes viewing and editing any object simple. It displays all the objects in the active view window, organized by their design areas, in an easy-to-use hierarchical tree arrangement. Details...
Property Manager
The user-friendly Property Manager allows you to interactively edit any object's properties. Select any object and the Property Manager updates with the specific properties for that object. Details...
Printing
Print your borehole design, map or cross section to any Windows compatible printer or plotter. Choose between single-page and continuous printing. If the print contents exceeds the page size you are printing to, you can choose to truncate the design to the page size, fit the design to the page, or print the design tiled on multiple pages. Details...
Additional Features
Strater is packed full of additional features designed to make your job faster and easier. Details...
Supported File Formats
Strater supports many data and import/export formats. Details...
