Bug Fixes in this Update (Reference numbers in parentheses)

The following problems have been fixed with this update. We recommend that the update be installed if you are experiencing one of the listed problems. Service Packs and Hot Fixes by nature do not have the full certification of releases; therefore we highly recommend that you back up your projects before updating KINGDOM. KINGDOM updates are inclusive. Any problems fixed with previous Service Packs and Hot Fixes are included in the current Service Pack or Hot Fix.

KINGDOM KINGDOM now automatically populates the Database login form with the named database

instance in the <project>.xml file rather than relying on the Microsoft Master Browser list,. (328198)

Standalone sentinel plugs may now be easily moved between customer computers. (329110)

KINGDOM will now migrate projects from Access to Oracle, SQL Server or SQL Server Express when Regional Settings is not English US. (284746)

Improved performance when displaying and scrolling large shape files. (330656)

2d3dPAK Posting a borehole note no longer hangs KINGDOM for projects with large number of wells.

(319116)

Recalling a saved map will now display fault polygons. (322430)

KINGDOM no longer crashes when loading wells in Geographix Ascii 3 format, provided to client by Drilling Info. (322987)

The user can now move or delete a SEG Y file after import is complete without exiting KINGDOM. (324047)

Improvements were made for well load time. The performance issue when displaying tops for wells on the base map has been resolved. (324653)

Performance has been improved when importing Logs> Multiple LAS logs into a project with a large number of wells. When the user selects the drop down list to select a well, the well list no longer takes a long time to open. (330585)

Tunnel O Transfer of horizon data between Landmark and SMT via Tunnel O no longer shifts inlines and

crosslines by -1. (324728)

AVOPAK Adding gathers to a new or existing gallery using the digitize line method no longer fails with a

"No gather to load" message. (320766)

VelPAK Velocity data imported from KINGDOM now covers field area as expected. The data is correctly

listed when selected. (304532)

Under certain circumstances loading horizon data that does not have an associated fault polygon set into a model as an XYZ (control point) data type could produce an error message. This has been fixed, and it is no longer necessary to associate a fault polygon set with a horizon to avoid the error. (314560)

An issue with the VelPAK screen failing to display or being slow to open has been fixed. (318732)

TracePAK The Time <> Depth Conversion option in TracePAK now places the converted cube in the correct

vertical position. (252498)

When generating "Average velocity" 3D volumes from a T-D Curve, the first pair of points in the Time/Depth curve is normally depth =0.0 and time= 0.0 (seconds). Since Time/Depth = 0/0 at this point, the current logic sets this velocity value to 0.0. Later on the Time<>Depth conversion finds this zero value and gives an error message. (RTI 332463)

KINGDOM Service Packs and Hot Fixes are inclusive and include any problem fixes provided in

previous Service Packs and Hot Fixes.

KINGDOM updates are inclusive. Any problems fixed with previous Service Packs and Hot Fixes are included in the current Service Pack or Hot Fix.

Bug Fixes in this Update (Reference numbers in parentheses)

2d/3dPAK

While using the 3D Hunt feature, the VSD update no longer blinks repeatedly. (322051)

Active fault surfaces were not properly displayed in time slices. Intersection points only were displayed. (325405)

When loading additional seismic data types into an existing 2D survey, horizon and fault interpretation may be lost if the incoming data extends the 2D line. Under these conditions users will be notified and can choose to 1) continue the seismic import only within the limits of the existing survey, 2) allow the 2D survey extension and redefine the survey limits, or 3) cancel the data loading process. An option is also available to skip the current survey's import and proceed to the next 2D line when "Import Multiple 2D SEG Y Files" is used. The choice to load only the incoming data type within limits of the existing 2D survey will ensure that any interpretation for that survey is preserved. (326629)

Poor performance was observed while adjusting mistie settings in multi-author environments using Oracle. Performance has been improved. (326668)

VuPAK

The unexpected display of horizons outside the VuPAK area of interest has been fixed. This corrects the inaccuracy and also improves performance when loading and displaying large horizons in VuPAK. (325334)

KINGDOM Service Packs and Hot Fixes are inclusive and include any problem fixes provided in

previous Service Packs and Hot Fixes.

Bug Fixes in this Update (Reference numbers in parentheses)

KINGDOM

Users who edit color bars will be presented with a Save dialog when editing is complete. Changes are now saved in a consistent manner. (315752)

An intermittent crash when editing color bars has been resolved. (318164)

When attempting to open a KINGDOM session file that uses an obsolete author name, the following error message appears: “The session file that you are trying to open is a different author's session file and cannot be opened”. Following this message you now have the option to open the session file. (319742)

An intermittent crash when importing Geographix wb2 and wb3 wellbase has been fixed. (322001)

Importing Geographix wb3 files sometimes resulted in the creation of spurious wells if the wb3 file included especially long Remarks Table (RT) records. (323326)

The deviation survey computation method specified by the user during Geographix wb3 file import was not saved. When the deviation survey was later viewed, a different computation method was displayed. (323326)

Improved performance when saving log settings and closing projects with large well log collections. (323412)

Improved performance in KINGDOM projects with a significant number of culture shape files. (323587)

Improved performance when creating or editing a work tree. (324125)

Improved performance for users whose KINGDOM work trees load slowly. (324126)

2d/3dPAK

Improved performance when creating a grid based on a zone attribute. (302649)

December 2010

p. 6

Users can now consistently generate an Illuminator volume using 32-bit KINGDOM. Users were sometimes receiving the error message “KINGDOM could not create the specified Illuminator volume. There is not enough contiguous RAM to create the Illuminator volume”. (318168)

Incorrect borehole projection to vertical displays for some projection distances has been fixed. (319430)

Issues with digitizing correct 2D arbitrary lines across some 2D surveys have been resolved. (320545)

While picking a horizon using 3D Seeker or 3D Seeker+ with the survey also open in VuPAK, some users received an error “Unable to enlarge file (file name) by increment yyyy. The file is currently locked”. The horizon is no longer locked. (320919)

An intermittent crash when generating automatic fault polygons for a horizon is resolved. (322060)

The author of a grid now has full edit and delete control at all times. (322206)

The list of KINGDOM survey data types that appears in the surveys data type management dialog is now alphabetical. (323413)

When multiple 2D SEG Y files are imported, a single survey that contains spikes in the trace data will no longer adversely affect the remaining surveys. Previously, subsequent SEG Y files were not imported correctly. (323461)

Intermittent KINGDOM crashes when exporting formation top XYZ data from a grid has been fixed. (324049)

An issue with horizon autopicking on a horizon processed by horizon snap has been fixed. (324457)

EarthPAK

Improved performance when calculating volumetrics using polygons. (312308)

Some zone attribute cross plots displayed no data after a filter was applied. (322631)

Improved performance when performing log calculations. (323266)

1D Forward Modeling

Exporting gathers from 1DFM directly to the AVOPAK Gallery is done in CDP to Receiver format instead of SP to Rec. This caused the offset distance to be 2X what it should have been - thus the distance was doubled. (323524)

When gathers are exported from 1DFM to SEGY, the units flag is now put in the binary header (feet or meters) (323524)

When gathers are exported from 1DFM to AVOPAK, the units (feet or meters) are read from the project and are exported correctly. (323524)

VelPAK

The default workflow "Interval Velocity v Depth to Middle of Layer.xml" has been corrected. The second depth conversion step now correctly references the current event. (319882)

VuPAK

Faults viewed in VuPAK did not become transparent when set. Fault surfaces became black instead of transparent and objects behind the fault were not visible. (291886)

In some circumstances, the user was unable to pick horizons in the currently active VuPAK area of interest if a grid outside the active area was turned on. (323409)

Mouse wheel zoom performance in VuPAK has been improved. (323410)

Tunnel O

The shot point numbers of 2D surveys imported from a Landmark project using Tunnel O now match the original shot point numbers. (322546)

KINGDOM Service Packs and Hot Fixes are inclusive and include any problem fixes provided in previous Service Packs and Hot Fixes.

Bug Fixes in this Update (Reference numbers in parentheses)

2d/3dPAK

For some projects the error message “Error writing contour” is displayed and the contour file will not be saved correctly. (319918)

Some contour lines may be missing if "Enable Contouring within a Polygon" option is turned on. This can occur if fault polygons intersect the boundary polygon. (319999)

Upon opening a session file some windows may not reopen. (320180)

To ensure that users are warned if they have not saved their session upon exiting KINGDOM, the default for session files has been changed to “Always Prompt”. The new default setting will apply for all projects created after updating to 8.5 Hot Fix 4. It will apply to existing projects only if the *.set file in the author folder is renamed or deleted. (320689)

When using "Save Tables" on the Survey Management Mistie tab, settings were not saved to the mistie file if the file was open, and TKS was not giving the correct message. (320524)

Some users experienced intermittent crashes when they opened a session file. (320532)

o Opening a session file and then applying mistie could cause a crash if multiple authors were turned on

o Opening a session file which included a contour within a polygon could cause a crash

Horizon picking cursor is still shown upon switching from horizon to fault interpretation either using hot keys F7 and F8 or horizon and fault interpretation tool bars. (321262)

Enhancements

2d/3dPAK

The Multiple SEG Y Export tool now supports the export of pre-stack gathers and the ability to filter out post-stack AVO data from the list of seismic volumes.

A hot key for horizon polygon smooth has been added. (303044)

Bug Fixes in this Update (Reference numbers in parentheses)

The following problems have been fixed with this update. We recommend that the update be installed if you are experiencing one of the listed problems. Service Packs and Hot Fixes by nature do not have the full certification of releases; therefore we highly recommend that you back up your projects before updating KINGDOM. KINGDOM updates are inclusive. Any problems fixed with previous Service Packs and Hot Fixes are included in the current Service Pack or Hot Fix.

KINGDOM When renaming (RMB > Rename) an object in the Project Tree, typing the letter „q‟ opens the

Picking Parameters dialog. (308367)

KINGDOM returns an incorrect value for free disk space when the target disk is larger than 4TB. (308882)

Toolbar locations are not persistent and some users cannot dock the toolbars side by side. (312620)

Required KINGDOM 8.5 SQL Server project database schema updates are not implemented if the user does not have “dbo_owner” permissions. An error message has been added informing users of the required database permissions. Users will not be permitted to attempt to upgrade a project database schema without “dbo_owner” permissions. (317047)

2d3dPAK When using a completion code template if one assigns the template and accepts that some of the

completion codes in import data are bold, the user gets no errors. If the bold completion codes are re-assigned then an error message is displayed. (254978)

Arbitrary lines composed of multiple segments display incorrect “True Distance” on the vertical seismic view if the bins are not square. (294465)

KINGDOM Software Release Notes for Version 8.5 HF8

December 2010

p. 11

For KINGDOM X64 the ability to act as an administrator and bulk load formation tops for the all authors is restored. (284433)

Exporting completion dates from the Wells > Spreadsheet results in ordinal numbers, not dates, being exported. (299948)

Fault data exported from Geographix in Geoquest Card Image 7 format could not be imported into KINGDOM. (301503)

Depth conversion > Create Average Velocity Map, is creating wrong x,y values for the control point file for some wells. (300893)

Users cannot select the Well folder in the Project Tree, then type the first character of the well name and have the focus change to the first well in the list that begins with that character. (305240)

The Author Delete warning message was incomplete and has been corrected. (307035)

Arbitrary lines on surveys with rectangular bins do not post correctly on the base map. (301657)

Some users experienced crashing while contouring a grid with a very complex surface with many fault polygons. (309871)

After importing wells with longitude between 0 and 1 degrees west and then closing and reopening the project, KINGDOM changes longitude value to positive which results in the longitude being east of the Greenwich median rather than west. (308403)

When a user creates an arbitrary line then picks a horizon on an inline -- the picks (seed points) display automatically in the arbitrary line. If the user then increments the inline and makes additional picks - the picks do not appear on the arbitrary line. After shifting the arbitrary line over and back, the picks then appear. (266575)

In a vertical seismic window displaying color raster seismic with the color bar displayed, if a user uses Ctrl+M on the keyboard to reverse the polarity of the seismic, a trough becomes a peak which shows as positive in the status bar. However, the color that is assigned to it is still a negative value in the colorbar. (266012)

User enters deviations by MD, TVD, INC, AZI only and clicks calculate, apply and ok. This returns user to the well information screen. When returning to the deviation page, INC and AZI are gone. User adds a new line to the deviation by MD, TVD, INC, AZI but KINGDOM returns an error: "the y column can't contain empty values". User has to delete any calculated data and re-enter ALL the MD, TVD, INC and AZI values for the entire dev survey. (312618)

GeoQuest Card Image 7 export results in null values in the output file for 2D and 3D depth horizons. (314295)

Although the length of the guide window is still an important parameter in the use of fill picking, it looks like it is inactive when the "Show a guide window" is inactive. (308935)

When copying seismic via Share/Copy, if the target disk drive is larger than 4TBs the status bar indicating copy progress quickly moves to “1 second left” and the program looks like it is hung. (316718)

Import of 2d horizon data fails to import data for lines with non-numeric characters in the line name. (316181)

Surveys > Survey Management > Mistie “Load Tables” fails to load a mistie table from another project. (316230)

Misties must be entered by hand after merging seismic volumes to a new master project. The load/mistie table was designed to work across projects but does not. (316230)

When creating 2d arbitrary lines, the geometry becomes corrupt and the line fails to display properly. (317892)

Selecting a timeslice to display from the vertical seismic window can cause KINGDOM to crash. (319278)

Appendix A: Video Cards—Updated Hardware Requirements Two features available in KINGDOM versions 8.3 and later affect video card requirements. Volume co-blending (VuPAK) and shaded relief (2d3dPAK) take advantage of some of the new functions available in updated graphics libraries. Framebuffer Objects, a relatively new extension to OpenGL, is needed to make these two functions display properly. When shopping for a video card, look for a card that has:

OpenGL 2.1 or higher

DirectX 9.0 or higher

Shader Support 2.1 or higher

at least 512 MB RAM (at a minimum - of course, more is better) If you are unsure if your video card can meet these specifications, run a test program like OpenGLViewer (included with the DVD, or it can be downloaded from ftp://ftp2.realtech-vr.com/realtechv/pub/glview232.exe [32-bit] or http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.html [64-bit]). For example, in the screen shot below, you can see that this video card with an older driver only has 66%% of the core features needed for OpenGL 2.1.

After updating to a new driver, the same video card now supports all features of OpenGL 2.1

VuPAK does not require the latest shader models and GPU functionality, but it does perform best with greater memory and faster processing speeds. However, even a moderately priced or older GPU can support VuPAK if it has shader support and the software running it is up-to-date. Development and testing for VuPAK was done utilizing Nvidia Quadro FX3700, FX3800, FX4600 & FX5200 Video Cards with 512MB and 768MB of memory.

Bug Fixes in this Update (Reference numbers in parentheses)

2d/3dPAK Performance when horizon picking on an arbitrary line has been significantly improved. The

noticeable latency during the picking operation has been eliminated. (RTI 300582)

When updating a time/depth chart with the last depth shallower than the total depth of the well KINGDOM will extrapolate the time/depth chart to the total depth of the well. (RTI 299529)

Using Math on two maps to add a constant value to a grid would give an error message and not complete the operation. This problem has been fixed. (RTI 299733)

The latency when selecting a fault to edit has been eliminated. This latency was particularly noticeable for regional projects. (RTI 300647)

Scrolling performance for both map and vertical seismic windows has been significantly improved for most projects. The slow scrolling performance was particularly noticeable when base maps had culture displays enabled. The unnecessary redrawing of culture data in map windows was slowing display performance. (RTI 300651)

Horizon “Polygon Erase” of 2d horizon data has been fixed. One can now delete 2d horizon data with “Polygon Erase”. (RTI 299873)

The 2D hunt settings no longer get reset to pick in both directions when you change from „H‟ to „F‟ to „H‟ again. (RTI 300884)

TracePAK A crash reported when running Survey Statistics has been fixed. (TFS 20986)

EarthPAK “Drill Events>>Show>>Show Type” now permits users to add new DST data types. (RTI 297830)

Tunnel L+ In one client‟s environment, after transferring 2d surveys from Openworks 2003 the KINGDOM

Oracle project would not open. This has been fixed. (RTI 293190)

File permissions for interpretation files transferred to SeisWorks are now defaulted to the permissions for the current UNIX session. (RTI 300471)
