Improvements to the Channels NGOM job (see also Channels Next Generation Object Modeling):

• New method for editing the channel shape, and shape editors are now expanded in Edit mode.

• Distributions can be visualized in a plot for easier QC of the input data.

• New, and more intuitive, icons introduced to describe to which directions trends will be applied.

  In the Volume fractions section, when setting the direction according to the grid layout, select between I, J, or K.

  When using trends as input to geometries, the directions are set according to the channel azimuth; select between Along channel, Perpendicular to channel and In depth.

• Minor performance issues has been addressed to further enhance the usability of the job.

The i-Task for creating logs has been converted to a job in RMS and renamed as the Create Blocked Well Log job; as such, this can now be incorporated into automated workflows to ensure repeatable results (see also Creating Blocked Well Logs).

Several enhancements further increase the effectiveness of the existing workflow management capabilities within RMS (see also Using Workflow Management):

• A tooltip has been added for Notes in RMS workflows; this tooltip provides the user name of the user who last edited the note, and the date and time of when the editing was made.
• In the Workflows Area, two new directional arrow buttons have been added which allow you to go back, and go forward, to previously visited workflows in a project session.

You can now display point data in an Intersection view.

You can now export multiple SEG-Y data using the Export SEG-Y dialog box as opened from the Seismic folder in the Data tree (see also SEG-Y Multiple Export), and also export individual objects in the SEG-Y format, as in earlier versions of RMS, using the Export Single SEG-Y dialog box (see also SEG-Y Single Export).

The new Blocked Wells Log Calculator (IPL) job enables you to create new blocked well logs, based on mathematical operations on existing blocked logs. The functions used to create new logs can be stored in the calculator and applied to different sets of wells, and also be stored as IPL scripts for future use (see also Blocked Wells Log Calculator (IPL)).

A new Log Smoothing job has been added, enabling you to smooth log curves in the log runs of trajectories (see also Smoothing Logs).

The i-Task functionality for combining logs has been made into an RMS job, such that it can be accessed by IPL scripts, for example, as part of workflow which can be automated (see also Creating a Combined Log).

The new Create Horizon Picks from Surface job allows you to create Horizon well picks relative to a selected surface, with respect to the stratigraphic framework of the project (see also Creating Horizon Picks from a Surface).

The Remove Duplicate Horizon Picks dialog box allows you to delete duplicate Horizon well pick types in a well with respect to the stratigraphic framework in RMS (see also Removing Duplicate Horizon Picks).

The new Create Collection from Log Filter job allows you to create an RMS Data Explorer collection based on filtered logs (see also Creating Collections from a Log Filter).

The Composite Parameter Convert dialog box has been extended to support user-definition of the date format as applied in the name of result parameters (see also Converting Composite Parameters).

3D seismic data in an RMS project has four subset items:

• Region of Interest
• Inline
• Crossline
• Time or Depth

Multiple subsets can be created; using these subsets, you can investigate the seismic data by playing through the seismic cube using the Seismic Fence Player, and perform seismic interpretation directly using RMS’ Model Driven Interpretation functionality.

The Depth Convert Horizons and Depth Convert Faults jobs have been renamed as Domain Convert Horizons and Domain Convert Faults respectively.

Using these jobs, it is now possible to perform both Time and Depth conversions for horizons and faults data (see also Domain Converting Horizons and Domain Converting Faults respectively), including their surfaces, polylines and points (see also Domain Converting Points/Polylines/Surfaces).

The Horizon Uncertainty Modeling dialog box has been improved where, for Depth to Depth workflows, there is the possibility to directly output a Horizon model using the new From horizon and fault model option as the Model setup mode (see also Horizon Uncertainty Modeling).

Visualize density distributions in scatterplots with four available visualization effects, which can be applied individually or combined, to assist in gaining a better understanding of the density distribution for the data in the scatterplot (see also Scatterplot Toolbar and Density Tab).
