Strater is a powerful and innovative well log, borehole and cross section plotting software package for geoscientists. With its modern and easy-to-use user interface, Strater is so straightforward even a beginner can create high-quality professional representations of subsurface data in no time.

Strater is compatible with all popular data formats, and can graphically display the data in sixteen fully customizable log types. Maps and cross sections are just a click away. All aspects of your design are easily changeable by simply clicking on it and updating its properties. Batch print or export all your hole data, and save your project file to a template to make log creation efficient and consistent for future projects.

We want to make sure you can have all your information easily accessible in one project file. Strater projects are made up of views (borehole views, map views, and cross section views) and data tables. The graphical display in each of the views is based on the data loaded into the data tables. It’s as simple as that!

Strater allows you to create multiple views and data tables and store them all in a single project. Each view can contain a different design, allowing tremendous flexibility in the presentation of your data. You can easily switch between views and data tables by clicking on their tabs at the top of the window.

Work seamlessly with all your data to create informative borehole logs, cross sections & location maps.

Strater offers unsurpassed flexibility in log design and layout. The advanced user interface makes designing and displaying your data easier than ever. Simply select the log type you want to create, click on the page where you want the log to be created, specify a data file and the import parameters, and the log is created. No other log plotting package in its class can create logs this easily.

Strater includes 15 popular log types to graphically display your data. Each of the logs can be modified to suit your needs. Customize your borehole designs by easily creating, editing, and updating illustrative and informative header, footer, and log items in their separate design areas. The header and footer areas are ideal to store the detailed information about the logs, such as well number, driller, location, drilling method, company name, and company logo. Strater offers interactive point-and-click selection and modification of every item in your borehole design.

You can import and store data for multiple boreholes in one data table. Having the data for all your boreholes together allows you to switch between borehole names with a single click. When you change the borehole names, the logs update immediately and automatically with the new information.

Show the various stratigraphic layers in the borehole using the
lithology log with customizable fill patterns and colors.

 
Communicate a variety of borehole data in one view using
several different log types for a comprehensive report.

   
Utilize line/symbol logs to show a variety of geotechnical wireline measurements collected downhole.

Strater can create a top-down view of your borehole locations, complete with deviated well paths. You can label the symbols, change the symbol properties individually or by well type, and add base maps (i.e. georeferenced imagery, DXF and SHP files). You can also create a base map without the borehole locations, adding as many base map files as needed. Connect the boreholes in the map to automatically create a cross section.

Once the map is created, you have the option to change the map limits and scale, edit axis properties such as line color and tick mark spacing, and you can insert the map into the borehole or cross section views to show a plan view map. Strater also supports a full coordinate system library. Assign a coordinate system to the wells or base map layers, and then change the coordinate system for the map.

Create as many map views as you like in your Strater project file. For example, create a map view and a map showing an overview of the general region at a large scale, and create a second map view with another map showing the details of your area at a smaller scale.
