Subsurface Data Made Clear

Evaluate and display all aspects of geological data. Easily create cross sections from lithology/zone bar logs, line/symbol logs, or raster logs to better understand the details of your depth data. Maximize your understanding so you can make the best decisions, every time.

Enhance Your Geological Model

Represent your data at its best. Precisely display subsurface data with Strater’s numerous customization options. Virtually every aspect of Strater’s logs, models, and cross sections are customizable.

Strater Customization Options


Include titles, axes, scale bars, and legends Apply pre-defined or custom fill patterns based on industry standards Generate custom fill libraries to be shared with colleagues and reused across multiple projects Include customized headers and footers	Draw text, polylines, polygons, symbols, and spline polylines Utilize tools to align, overlay, or distribute logs as needed Create standardized templates to create consistent reports

Strater Cross Section Customization Options


Add any type of log to an existing cross section Display logs as deviated or vertical Display water level(s) in the cross section Add well headers to display borehole information, as well as distance between well tops or bottoms	Define and customize lithology/stratigraphy layers Use schemes to quickly apply symbol, fill, and line properties and save them for use across multiple projects Transform cross sections into 3D fence diagrams with the Voxler integration commands Hang logs at the proper elevation
