Users specify the top layer, delta h, to define peaks for the volume calculation. Reserves can be calculated in Plan from user defined parameters for volume, porosity, hydrocarbon saturation, formation volume factor, and recovery factor. Users can select which volume methods to display. A report summarizing the results can be printed. This report includes the map, area and volume tables, reserve calculation if done, and information about the analysis provided by the user.
Plan adds map files to compute areas and volumes for over-sized maps digitized in parts.
The program also allows portions of a map to be defined to obtain area, volumes, and reserves for leases. Leases are defined by digitizing lease boundaries. Results from several leases can be combined to obtain totals for different owners of a field. Plan has a tutor key which provides on-screen instructions. Plan provides users with an efficient and accurate tool to planimeter maps and estimate map volume and reserves.
