Rockwork is the all-in-one tool that allows you to visualize, interpret and present your surface and sub-surface data. Rockworks contain numerous options for viewing your subsurface data including stratigraphy, lithology, interval- based numerical and borehole geophysical data. Easily and quickly estimate reserve and overburden volumetrics. Whether you're a petroleum engineer, environmental, hydrologist, geologist or educator, Rockworks contains tools that will save time and money, increase profitability and provide you with a competitive edge through high – quality graphics, model and plots.
In addition to its already impressive collection of existing capabilities, the latest RockWorks version has numerous new features, including an MDB borehole database, an interactive log designer, graphic editing tools, and much more.

RockWorks offers numerous options for analyzing your subsurface data, and accepts many different data types, such as stratigraphy, lithology, quantitative data, color intervals, fracture data and hydrology and aquifer data.

RockWorks is extensively used in the following industries:

• Geotechnical


• Environmental


• Mining


• Petroleum

New Data Tools:

• Support of MS SQL Server and other databases.


• Lithology Picker: Pick your lithology intervals from raster or geophysical logs in an interactive window.


• Lookup Tables: Project-specific tables, such as color-fill, polygon, point scaling, etc. are now stored in the database.


• Reorganized Project Manager: Even easier to access your data, models, and graphics.


• Multiple Aquifers: RockWorks now supports multiple aquifers. Define your Aquifer Names, then enter water levels by date for your different aquifers.


• I-Text and P-Text: Enter non-numeric data - sample numbers, comments, etc. - and display on your logs.


• Shapefile export: Export log data (lithology, stratigraphy, I-Data, T-Data, P-Data, fractures, water levels, well construction) to 3D Shapefiles, with attributes. Display and analyze in ArcScene.

New Mapping and Gridding Options:

• Transparency: Adjust the transparency of color contour and raster layers in your RockPlot2D images.


• Kriging Tools: New variogram models, an interactive variogram editor, and a variogram matrix plot.


• Google Earth: Display your borehole locations in Google Earth.


• Drainage Nets / Flow Maps: New tools in 2D and 3D, with exports of line segments, fill sinks, and stratigraphy filters.


• Rose and stereonet diagrams from grid models: Run a topography grid through a slope/aspect analysis and generate a rose or setereonet diagram.


• New Range/Township/Section Coverage - The free RockWare LandBase has been expanded to cover most of the U.S.


• New map & coordinate projections are offered, including State Plane.


• New color palettes: Automatic palettes, custom palettes, and multiple color cycles.


• Shaded relief: Display 2D contour maps with a variety of shaded relief options.


• Point Map Layers: Symbols and labels added for all Borehole Manager maps (stratigraphy, t-data, etc.)


• Point Map Labels: Detailed labels can display varied types of data, such as stratigraphy thickness, water level elevations, T-Data dates and values, and more.

New Striplog and Cross Section Tools:

• I-Text and P-Text: Display downhole comments, notes, etc. in striplogs.


• Text Wrapping: Display detailed descriptions.


• Profile "Stripmaps": Plot borehole locations relative to projected profiles, along with collar distances.


• Log Titles: Plot at the top and/or base of the logs - handy for inclined and deviated holes.


• Custom Color Tables: Link these to your 2D I-Data and T-Data bargraphs

New Solid Modeling and Display Tools:

• Interactive Editor: Use the new 3D solid model editor to edit individual voxels or blocks drawn as polyhedra.


• Filters: Automatic filtering of ground surface and borehole bases (manual options too).


• Lithology models:


• Create surfaces for uppermost and lowermost contacts.


• Create isopach maps and models.


• Animations:


• Animate increasing/decreasing isolevels.


• Animate automatic beveling of voxel blocks or isosurfaces.


• Contours: Display contours on the faces of 3D isosurface cutouts.

New Color Modeling Tools:

• Borehole Colors: Interpolate a solid color model from borehole color intervals.


• Color Import: Import colors into boreholes using descriptive data (such as Munsell codes) or raster images.


• Display Options: Display a color model as 3D voxels, 3D fence panels, 2D section or profile, or 2D plan map.


• Raster Images: Interpolate a color model from vertical image panels.

New RockPlot3D Tools:

• World Coordinates: View the XYZ coordinates at any point within the display.


• Digitize Coordinates: Digitize XYZ coordinates by clicking in the 3D view.


• Embedded Striplog Layout Tools: Click on the Striplog Designer tab to define the log settings.


• Embedded Profile, Section, Fence tabs: Click on the Select Map tab to define the panel locations.

New Interface Options:

• Embedded Output: 2D images, 3D images, text reports are displayed right within the program's Options window. This allows you to adjust settings and re-process the diagram with just a few clicks. You can also quickly "un-dock" the window to keep that copy on your desktop.


• Embedded Help: See instructions for the current topic right within the Options window.


• Detailed Options Windows: All new dialogs for gridding, solid modeling, mapping, and other functions.


• Maintain separate menu settings for different projects.
