DESCRIPTION

Sedpak -h invokes the Unix man page for sedpak.

Sedpak invokes the integrated version of the sedpak program. The Sedpak Launch menu allows execution of the various applications within the sedpak system.

Sedpak exec invokes the Sedpak Exec menu and simulation window. The menu allows files to be loaded for interactive execution of the simulation.

Sedpak edit invokes the Sedpak Edit menu. The menu allows data files for the simulation to be created and modified.

Sedpak facies invokes the facies file editor. Facies files may be defined or modified for use with one or more data files.

Sedpak sim causes the simulation program to be executed as a standalone application with filename as its data file. Unlike with sedpak exec, there is no interactive control over the simulation.

Sedpak overlay allows the stratigraphic cross sections produced by the simulation to be graphically overlaid upon an image file containing a stratigraphic cross section or seismic line.

Sedpak help invokes the interactive help system. The system replicates most of the information available in the Sedpak Manual. Sedpak help also can be invoked from the Sedpak Edit and Sedpak Exec menus.

Sedpak SedpakToAdobe filename converts filename from the Postscript format produced by the sedpak simulation into a format which can be read by Adobe Illustrator. The new file is named filename.adobe. Filename must be produced by the Print selection _ To file option of the File pulldown menu from the Sedpak Exec menu.

Sedpak error uses the Sedpak user interface to report a problem to the sedpak programming team via e-mail.

A.01 Format for a SEDPAK input file (.db)

The sedpak .db format is a semi-freeform arrangement of keywords and data. The file must begin with a single line containing the string (SedpakDataFile). Data entries consist of an opening keyword line, a body of variable format data, and a closing marker. The keyword line is of the form "keyword" with keyword being one of those listed below. The format of the body of the data section varies according to the keyword. The closing line is always a line with a single closing parenthesis. There is no expected order for keywords. Table A.1.1 presents the keywords for the file, their data type and a description of their usage. Tables A.1.2, A.1.3, and A.1.4 present the keywords and formats for the different data types used within SEDPAK. Section A.2 is an example of a SEDPAK input file.

A.03 Format for a SEDPAK surface file (.sur)

The surface file is an ASCII file. The first line gives time, position, and resolution information. The second line indicates the time steps at which sequences were defined, and the third line indicates the time step at which this snapshot was taken. The remainder of the file contains elevations for each column of each surface.

Time and position information can be derived from the first line of the file (number of time steps, start time, end time, number of columns, left basin position, right basin position) and the first line of each surface dump (time step).

line 2	time steps representing sequences

line 3	time step for which the file was created

line 4	"Basin Surface" at time step indicated on line 3 (real)
line 5	shale deposited at time step 1 after number of time steps indicated on line 3 (real)
line 6	sand deposited at time step 1 after number of time steps indicated on line 3 (real)
line 7	carbonate deposited at time step 1 after number of time steps indicated on line 3 (real)

line 9	sand deposited at time step 2 after number of time steps indicated on line 3 (real)
line 10	carbonate deposited at time step 2 after number of time steps indicated on line 3 (real)

The number of lines beginning with line 4 will be 1+3s, where s is the time step indicated on line 3. The number of entries on each row will be the number of X-steps, as shown on line 1.

A.07 Format for a SEDPAK layer thickness file (.thick)

The layer thickness file is an ASCII file. The first line gives time, position, and resolution information. The second line indicates the time steps at which sequences were defined and the third line indicates the corresponding ages for these sequences. The fourth line indicates the time step and corresponding age at which the layer thickness snapshot was taken. The remainder of the file contains the thickness of each layer at each pseudo well defined. The start of each pseudo well is indicated by its distance, column position and well name. The lines following the identifier contain the time step and corresponding age, followed by the total thickness of the layer, and the thickness of the shale, sand and carbonate components of the layer.

	Each line thereafter represents a time step and the thickness information at that time step. Line 5, followed by a line for each time step, is repeated for each pseudo well defined.
