To Display Information Click on the Following (Commonly Underlined) Highlighted Categories:
- Readme First- Obtaining network software, how to start the 3-D tour, and computer system and software minimum requirements. (readme1.htm)
- Readme for movies- Explanation of the 3-D porosity and permeability movies, and their geological implications. (readmovi.htm)
- Directory of software Computer programs located in the "software" subdirectory (software.htm)
- Getting started - a brief tutorial (tutorial.htm)
- Overview description of information contained on this CD-ROM (overview.htm)
- Geology of the Sussex Sandstone. This section contains numerous map, thin-section and SEM photomicrograph, and other images tied to discussion of geologic and geochemical processes. Because the images slow retrieval and display, the other highlighted sections can be accessed separately; within text are links to the adjoining section. (geology.htm)
- 3-D images and movies of porosity and permeability distribution across the field. Shown are stacking of sand-ridge sandstones and concentration proximal to field axes of greatest porosity, permeability, and oil production. Removing layers of porosity reveals compartmentalization of reservoir sandstones. Movies run much quicker outside of WWW-browsing programs. Also, before movies can be opened you may need to copy to your hard drive a movie-viewing program; information on how to acquire this freeware and software is listed in the readme for movies file.
- Selected references (referenc.htm)
- Glossary (glossary.htm)
- Acknowledgements (acknowl.htm)
- Appendixes
- A. all.htm HTML files, in general order shown in this table of contents, are appended together into the all.htm file
- B. Listing of figures and captions (figure.htm). Images and captions for figures 1-36 are displayed, as are links to larger-scale images. Because this is very time- and memory-intensive, you may instead want to show the following;
- C. Tables 1-3 (tables.htm)
- Table 1 -- Names and locations of wells in which core was sampled for petrographic analysis of the Sussex "B" sandstone
- Table 2 -- Thin-section point count data for Sussex "B" sandstone facies
- Table 3 -- Ranges of porosity and permeability for Sussex "B" sandstone facies
- D. Technical information on data sources (techinfo.htm)
- Sources of data
- Computer mapping and statistical methodology
- Geologic methods of analysis
- Petrologic/geochemical methods of analysis
- Petrophysical methods of analysis
- Thin-section petrographic data - Explanation of spreadsheet data
