Well logs and Maps are scanned to give high-resolution colour, greyscale or black & white TIFF images. Apart from being the starting point for the vectorizing process, these images can be stored and shared across a network like a digital atlas.

Conversion of features on a map to digital format is done on-screen, at a range of zoom levels, with the mouse positioned on the scanned image. On-screen digitizing allows maximum accuracy in terms of point for point data extraction. An immediate visual overlay of the digitized data gives the operator a simple but highly efficient QC of output data quality. Flexible projection and spheroid definition along with three different gridding methods allow the user to define an accurate baseline for data capture. Auto digitizing, as well as manual options, give a fast and reliable means through which all types of map data may be captured.

Contours, simple faults, fault polygons and seismic facies can be captured and output in standard formats, as well as shot point, cultural data, block boundary and well head data. Co-ordinate systems may be modified on output from the digitizing software and digitized data may be redisplayed as colour plots at a range of scales. Where desired, output formats may be tailored to specific client standards. Once digitized, data from different sources can be integrated to create a rationalized geodetic information bundle.
