Strater helps you create professional well logs and borehole models. It can display subsurface data using various customizable models. You can add titles, axes, scale bars, and legends and apply pre-defined or custom fill patterns based on industry standards. You can also save standardized templates to create consistent reports each time.
v2.5 [Oct 2, 2011]
User Friendly
View all of a project's borehole and database tables in a single tab array at the top of the project panes.
Easily change the order of tabs with a single mouse click.
Easier method to clear all selections in a detailed borehole by simply clicking off-page to deselect all.
Instantly make all data tables visible with the show all tables command.
Easier navigation in the Property Manager: set the sections to display as an array of tabs or in the classic array of horizontal bars.
Customize your work environment: Customize buttons, commands, keyboard shortcuts, menus, options, and toolbars.
Accurately and quickly relocate work areas: Dock the Object Manager, Borehole Manager, and Property Manager easier than ever with the new docking system.
Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the borehole view.
You have the option to display the splash screen when opening Strater.
The command File | New quickly opens a new project, or creates a new borehole view or data table for the current project
Borehole View Enhancements
Multiple Boreholes in a borehole view is now available. Add an unlimited number of boreholes into a single borehole view.
Quickly set opacity for fill, line, symbol or text properties.
You can now draw objects in the log pane. You can add items such as text, polylines, polygons, symbols, scale bars, and legends to the log pane.
You can import an object into any of the three borehole view panes.
All borehole views automatically open when opening a project.
You can quickly zoom the borehole view or a single object to the width of the pane.
Scale your borehole view by entering the scaling ratio (ie. 1:5000).
Set the scale of your logs when using Automatic or Collars Table for the Depth Settings.
You can copy and paste almost any object, including text or data from Microsoft Word or Excel files or logs from other Strater projects, directly into the log pane.
New Log Features
Set the properties of a line/symbol log as either discontinuous or continuous to accurately show missing data.
Add a legend in any pane.
Create a cutoff fill line for line/symbol logs and select to display the cutoff fill area to either the right or left of the cutoff value.
Add text labels directly onto a percentage log. You can now let users see the actual percentage values represented in a percentage log.
Add text labels directly onto line/symbol logs. Users can now see the actual values represented by points along a line/symbol log.
You can format numeric labels. For example, insert a comma separator for thousands (1,200 vs. 1200) in depth logs, line/symbol logs, and percentage logs.
New stock hatch and gradient fill patterns are available.
Change a keyword scheme into a lithology scheme, and vice-versa.
There is now an unlimited number of items you can use in a scheme.
You can set the label either above or below a scale bar for better usability with headers and footers.
Tick labels for depth logs straddling a page break are repeated on the bottom of the first page and the top of the next page.
Text blocks in a complex text log straddling a page break can optionally be displayed on both the bottom of the first page and the top of the next page.
Merge identical and adjacent text blocks in a complex text log.
You can rotate text in a text log.
Scale bars have a title field to add titles to the scale bar.
Data Table Enhancements
Instead of one cell at a time you can now select multiple rows of data simultaneously to copy, clear or delete.
Rename Hole IDs in a data table.
You have the option to reload all data tables automatically when opening a project.
You have the option to open or not open data tables when opening a project.
You can enter scaling information for each well in the Collars Table.
Strater offers the option to perform data transform calculations inside data tables.
Utilize the Find/Replace functionality in the data tables.
Export the data to any supported data file format.
Format cells in the data tables.
Calculate statistics on selected data within a data table.
Convert text to numeric data, and numeric data to text.
The command File | Reload All automatically reloads all the data in a currently open project.
When a data file is imported, or data added to an existing table, the edited table is automatically the active table in the borehole view.
Templates Improved
Stored templates save all data tables whether or not they're used in the borehole view.
You can now save a project as a template from the Active view.
Schemes are saved to the template.
You can save templates using the File | Save As command.
You can open templates using the File | Open command.
Printing Enhancements
When using File | Print Multiple Logs, the scale for each log will update automatically.
