Overview
The Explore Window now includes the Project Tree for ordering and cataloging project data and
interpretation. Work Tree functionality enables you to organize a personalized view of your
interpretation and data, and to more efficiently use the Explore Window as an interpretation tool.
We will begin our tutorial with basic definitions of the Explore Window, Project Tree and Work
Tree by using the data found in a simple KINGDOM Software project.
1. Open the Sooner project from the Demo Data Set.
2. Select SMT as the initial Author.
3. Make the Explore Window active by clicking in the window.

Explore Window
The Explore Window is a graphical display of all data that has been loaded or interpreted in the
project. The Explore Window contains two trees: the Project Tree and the Work Tree. Only one
tree, either the Project Tree or a Work Tree, can be active during a session.

Project Tree
The Project Tree is a complete project inventory. You cannot edit the Project Tree and you
cannot build subfolders in the Project Tree. The Project Tree allows for the work of multiple
authors to be viewed, while only one author at a time remains active. The Project Tree is not
authored. Figure 1 below shows the Project Tree in the Explore Window. The Project Tree
displays 14 data subfolders and a project folder depicted by folder icons. Each data subfolder can
be expanded to reveal additional subfolders and data.
The Project Tree window can be expanded. Click an edge or corner and drag the cursor to adjust
the window size.
The Project Tree window title bar, located at the top of the window, displays the name of the
project and the current saved Session. The status bar at the bottom of the Project Tree window
indicates the current license or Base Feature that is in use.

Work Tree
The Work Tree is a selected project inventory that can be edited. The Work Tree has a single
author and allows you to define new folders. In the Work Tree, you can store an object in
multiple locations. The Work Tree is renewable, which means that you can create as many Work
Trees as you wish for whatever tasks you wish to perform, edit and revise them to suit whatever
purposes you may have, or delete and rebuild the Work Trees however you wish.
When assembling data for a Work Tree you can select the source data by linking to it or by
copying the data. Sources of data that can be linked or copied include the data in the Project Tree
and other Work Trees in the project.
You may ask, “What is needed in a Work Tree?” This will vary according to the task you are
trying to accomplish with a given Work Tree. A Work Tree can be as large as the Project Tree
itself, or the Work Tree can contain as few as one or two objects. A Work Tree can be specific
and include only Wells and selected Formation Tops, or only 2D Surveys and the associated
Horizons and Faults that you desire. It is your choice.

Important Tips About Work Trees:

• You may have more than one Work Tree.
• You can create empty Work Trees and populate them later.
• Only the data required for the Work Tree is loaded into RAM instead of the Project Tree’s
entire data store.
• You can move from one Work Tree to another within a project.
• Data loading within a Work Tree is limited, because only a partial data load is associated with
a Work Tree.
• You can launch other KINGDOM applications from a Work Tree, and the applications will
honor the data present in the Work Tree.
• You can copy data from a Project Tree to a Work Tree.
• You can copy ALL the data from a Project Tree and save it as a new Work Tree.
• You can copy data from another author into your Work Tree.
• Work Trees are authored, Project Trees are not.
• Data in a Work Tree can be either Linked or Copied.

KINGDOM 8.4 9
• Deleting data from a Work Tree deletes the data from the project and is irreversible.
E
X
I
The All <Objects> Folder T

The All <Objects> folder is the complete list or inventory of that particular object contained in
the respective Tree.
• The All <Objects> folder can be expanded or collapsed.
• In the Work Tree, the All <Objects> folder is very significant as an object inventory. The All
<Objects> folder allows you to avoid opening all subfolders to find or access an individual
object.
• Objects in an All <Objects> folder can be dragged and dropped into subfolders you have
constructed in the Work Tree in the Explore window.

Note: Objects in a Work Tree can have multiple locations. If an object is present in a Work
Tree you can always find the object in its corresponding All <Objects> folder.

Figure 5 User Preferences dialog box with Startup tab active

In the Startup Windows area of the Startup tab, you can select (turn ON) one of four different
startup rules.
• Open projects with the previous Tree and Base Map windows only (Sessionless) - opens
the Project using your last active Project Tree or a Work Tree and Base Map.
• Open projects selecting a Project Tree/Work Tree and the Base Map windows only
(Sessionless) - opens the project with a Select Project Tree/Work Tree dialog box. You make
a tree selection from the list of your available Work Trees or the Project Tree. The project
then opens with the selected tree active in the Explore window and a Base Map.

KINGDOM 8.4 11
• Open projects with all previous windows restored (Default Session File) - opens the
project using your last active Project Tree or Work Tree and all windows that were in use E
when you closed the project.
X
I
• Open projects using a Session File - opens the project using your last active Project Tree or T
a Work Tree. You can then select and open a session file from a list of sessions that are
associated with the active Project Tree or Work Tree. Session file information is given so
you can get the session file you want. You can also browse to another session file. This open
browsing and session selection may take you to another Tree. Remember, KINGDOM
software Session files are always associated with the Work Tree or the Project Tree that was
active when the session was created.

Session Files and the Project Tree/Work Tree

• Session files are always associated with the parent Work Tree or the Project Tree.
• You can have as many session files for each tree that you want.
• You can open a session file created in an earlier version of KINGDOM software. However,
you may get blank views. This happens if you open an old session file against an active Work
Tree. The object that was displayed in the window in the old session may not be present in the
active Work Tree.
• You cannot open another author’s session files. Session files are authored to protect visibility
and other settings that you have chosen from being changed or altered by another user.

Open Session File

The Open Session File dialog box allows you to find a specific session file. The visible list is
filtered to the session files that are related to the active Tree. Remember, you can have as many
session files per Tree as you want. The Open Session File dialog box provides information about
session files associated with the current Project Tree or Work Tree. Information includes author,
creation date, path to physical location, modification date, date last accessed and associated Work
Trees. You can browse to select other session files. If you select another session, the Open
Session File dialog box immediately displays information about the selected session file as shown
in Figure 6 below.

Object Attachment Options

Object Attachment Options E

X

In the Object Attachment Options area of the Edit Work Tree dialog box allows you to specify T
how to move data objects that belong to another author.
• Link - similar to a Microsoft Shortcut and honors authorship rules. The linked object is visible
to you, but you cannot alter it or delete it.
• Copy - creates a copy of the object, which appears in your Work Tree as your authored object
and which you can edit.
Figure 12 shows the Object Attachment Options area of the Edit Work Tree dialog box with
the Copy option toggled ON.

Figure 12 Object Attachment Options in the Edit Work Tree dialog

Options in the Object Attachment Options area of the Edit Work Tree dialog box are active
only when the Source Data is An Author. The options are not active when the Source Data is a
Project Tree. When the Project Tree is active, the only attachment option is Link.

Surveys and Wells in Work Trees

Surveys and Wells belong to the project. They are loaded once and used by everyone. A listing of
a given Survey or Well in a Work Tree allows the user access to the Survey or Wells just as it
would be from the Project Tree. Any interpretation you do on Surveys or Wells in a Project Tree
or a Work Tree lives within the project. If you interpret on a Survey in a Work Tree, and later
Unlink that Survey from the Work Tree, your interpretation does not disappear or get deleted. It
is available from the Project Tree, so simply add the Survey back to your Work Tree. If the
horizon is in your Work Tree then your interpretation is readily available.

KINGDOM 8.4 21
 Object Attachment Options

Link/Copy E
X
I
Unlinking something in a Work Tree T

Unlink does not mean Delete. Unlink is used to drop or remove an object for a Work Tree.
Unlink does not delete an object from the project. You can unlink an object and it will still reside
in the project and be present in the Project Tree.
In an All <Objects> folder, Unlink will drop the object from the Work Tree, and the object will
be dropped from all locations that it occupies in user-created subfolders. The object will not be
deleted from the project.
In a normal user-created subfolder, Unlink will drop the object from that single subfolder in the
active Work Tree, but the object will not be dropped from the All <Objects> folder or any other
locations that it may occupy in user-created subfolders. The object will not be deleted from the
project.
In a user-created Mixed Content folder, Unlink will drop the object from that single subfolder in
the active Work Tree, but it will not be dropped from the All <Objects> folder or any other
locations it may occupy in user-created subfolders. The object will not be deleted from the
project.

Unlink and Reload something in a Work Tree

Unlink and Reload is a little different than regular Unlink. When you Unlink and Reload a Well,
Survey or Formation Top in an All <Objects> folder, this action will drop the object from the
Work Tree. It will be dropped from all locations it may occupy in user-created subfolders. The
object is unloaded from the database that is loaded to RAM.
It does not mean Delete. Unlink and Reload is used to drop or remove a Well, Survey or
Formation Top from a Work Tree All <Objects> folder. It does not delete it from the project. You
can Unlink and Reload an object and it will still reside in the Project Tree.
In a normal user-created subfolder Unlink and Reload is not available in the Right Mouse Button
menu. Unlink is available and will drop the object from that single subfolder in the active Work
Tree, but it will not be dropped from the All <Objects> folder or any other locations it may
occupy in user-constructed subfolders. The object will not be deleted from the project.
In a user-created Mixed Content folders, Unlink and Reload is not available in the Right Mouse
Button menu. Unlink is available and will drop the object from that single subfolder in the active
Work Tree, but it will not be dropped from the All <Objects> folder or any other locations it may
occupy in user-constructed subfolders. It will not be deleted from the project.

Move Subsets from Project Tree to Work Tree
You can move Survey and Well Subsets from the Project Tree to a Work Tree. There are three
options for Subset Attachment Method in the Object Attachment Options area of the Edit
Work Tree dialog box (Figure 14). Subsets really exist as the queries that were used to create
them, so we have three ways to get the Subset results that you want.
• Add Subset Query Only – moves the Query. The query will place the query itself in the
appropriate Survey > Subsets folder or Wells > Subsets folder. If the query is accessed in the
active Work Tree, available Surveys or Wells are queried and results are generated limited
by the contents of the Work Tree. It does not query the entire project.
• Add Subset Results Only – executes the query against the active Tree. The query captures
the query results and places the results in the appropriate All Surveys folder or All Wells
folder. If the query is accessed with an active Work Tree, available Surveys or Wells are
queried and results generated from the search are limited by the contents of the Work Tree. If
the query is accessed with the Project Tree active, the entire project is queried, but an entry is
not made in the Subsets subfolder of the Surveys folder, or the Subsets subfolder of the
Wells folder.
• Add Subset Query and Results – executes the query against the active Tree. The query
captures the query results and places the results in the appropriate All Surveys folder or All
Wells folder. If the query is accessed with an active Work Tree available Surveys or Wells
are queried and results generated from the search are limited by the contents of the Work
Tree. If the query is accessed with the Project Tree active, the entire project is queried, and
the query is placed in the appropriate Survey > Subsets folder or Wells > Subsets folder.
If you move a subset from one Work Tree to another Work Tree, the Subset Attachment
Method options are limited to Add Subset Query Only. If the query is made in the active Work
Tree, the entire project is not queried, but available Surveys or Wells are queries and the results
generated are limited by the contents of the active Work Tree. The actual results from a Work
Tree query executed against different Work Trees can give you a result that may not be
compatible with the scope of the target tree.
Subsets saved in an active Work Tree are automatically present under your authorship in the
Project Tree; therefore, there is no need to move Well and Survey Subsets from a Work Tree to
a Project Tree.

Mixed Content Subfolders E

I
Normally, a subfolder can contain only one object type such as, Faults, Grids, Contours, etc. For T
example, a subfolder in a Project Tree Culture folder can only contain culture objects.
In the Edit Work Tree dialog box, when Source Data is the Project Tree, if you try to move by
any method an object from a Formation Tops folder in the Objects in the Source Tree list to a
Grids folder in the Objects in the Targets Tree list, the cursor turns into a Circle/Slash icon
meaning you are prohibited from performing the operation.
In the Work Tree, you can create Mixed Content folders. A Mixed Content subfolder can
contain multiple object type such as Faults, Grids, Contours, Wells, Culture, etc. For example,
a Mixed Content folder under the Project folder might contain a well, a grid, and a contour.
• Mixed Content folders can contain single or multiple folders.
• Mixed Content folders can only be added from the Project folder level in the Work Tree.
• Mixed Content folders exist at the same level as Project folders such as, Grids, Models,
Wells, etc.
• The structure can be as deep as you want it. The objects in these subfolders can be mixed.
• If you unlink an item from one of your created folders it will only unlink from that folder.
Objects can have more than one location, and there are only links.
• Objects are listed in numeric or alphabetic order.
