Linear Borehole Televiewer

Linear Borehole Televiewer Traverse Type is a linear borehole in which the true joint orientations have been obtained from televiewer processing or other method (e.g., oriented core data which has already been processed into true Dip/Dip Direction).

The Linear Borehole Televiewer traverse type is exactly equivalent to the Linear Scanline traverse type for purposes of computation. You can use either one. It is included to make a clear distinction between boreholes which use unprocessed oriented core data.

Data Orientation Convention

The Data Orientation Convention refers to the orientation format of the data collected on a Traverse. For each Linear Borehole Televiewer discontinuity, the orientation format of the data you enter in the first two columns of the Discontinuities grid (in the Orientation Data dialog) must correspond to the Data Orientation Convention selected.

The following Data Orientation Conventions are available:

• Dip/Dip Direction
• Strike (Right)/Dip
• Strike (Left)/Dip
• Trend/Plunge

The Data Orientation Convention option allows you to specify the orientation format for individual Traverses. This allows you to combine different data formats within the same DIPS file.

If the Data Orientation Convention is different from the Reporting Orientation (entered in Project Settings), the raw input orientations will be automatically converted to the equivalent Reporting Orientation.

Traverse Format

The Traverse Format for a Linear Borehole Televiewer Traverse is always Trend/Plunge, regardless of the Data Format.
