Surfer Software: Contour Mapping Guide

The purpose of the surfer software is to draw contour maps from base maps and make profile sections of new contour maps. It can also make corrections to maps according to well data to produce new maps with corrected well positions. Surfer is a grid-based mapping program that interpolates irregularly spaced data into a regularly spaced grid which can then be used to produce maps like contour maps, color relief maps, and 3D surface maps. It includes tools for gridding, mapping, editing grids, creating cross-sectional profiles, and performing calculations on gridded data. The Scripter program included with Surfer allows creating and running script files to automate repetitive Surfer tasks without direct interaction.

Abstract

The purpose of the surfer software in my report is draw contour map from a base map and
make profile section to new contour map and correction lines of new map according to the
data of wells to get new map including a correction position for wells in which it produced
from yamam formation

Introduction

a powerful contouring, gridding, and surface mapping package for scientists, engineers,
educators, or anyone who needs to generate maps quickly and easily. Producing publication
quality maps has never been quicker or easier. Adding multiple map layers and objects,
customizing the map display, and annotating with text creates attractive and informative
maps. Virtually all aspects of your maps can be customized to produce the exact
presentation you want. Surfer is a grid-based mapping program that interpolates irregularly
spaced XYZ data into a regularly spaced grid. Grids may also be imported from other sources,
such as the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The grid is used to produce different
types of maps including contour, color relief, and 3D surface maps among others. Many
gridding and mapping options are available allowing you to produce the map that best
represents your data. An extensive suite of gridding methods is available in Surfer. The
variety of available methods provides different interpretations of your data, and allows you
to choose the most appropriate method for your needs. In addition, data metrics allow you
to map statistical information about your gridded data. Surface area, projected planar area,
and volumetric calculations can be performed quickly in Surfer. Cross-sectional profiles can
also be computed and exported. The grid files can be edited, combined, filtered, sliced,
queried, and mathematically transformed. For example, grids can be sliced to create cross-
sectional profiles, or the Grids | Calculate | Math command can be used to create an
isopach map from two grid files. Grids can be edited with an intuitive user interface in the
grid editor. Scripter The ScripterTM program, included with Surfer, is useful for creating,
editing, and running script files that automate Surfer procedures. By writing and running
script files, simple mundane tasks or complex system integration tasks can be performed
precisely and repetitively without direct interaction. Surfer also supports ActiveX
Automation using any compatible client, such as Visual BASIC. These two automation
capabilities allow Surfer to be used as a data visualization and map generation post-
.processor for any scientific modeling system
