IGI release version 2.5 of p:IGI+ and Metis
Dear user, we are delighted to announce version 2.5 of both p:IGI+ and Metis is now available. IGI has added significant functionality designed to support a range of workflows and increase user efficiency.
This article summarises the highlights. The full release notes can be found here: Full-Release-Notes-2_5.pdf.
There are also several new and updated auto-artefacts shipped with version 2.5. IGI will continue to create new auto-artefacts, so keep an eye out for the new artefacts that are added and remember that you (and your company) can manage and share artefacts through the artefact management settings under the Settings menu.
p:IGI+ & Metis Transform Highlights:
Dashboards: The user can create and use the provided auto-dashboards (composing graphs, maps and bar charts / box and whisker plots etc.) This provides an efficient route to viewing, comparing and reporting data.
A gas interpretation dashboard using a suite of plots from Milkov and co-authors to display Norwegian North Sea samples coloured by Chronostratigraphic group.
Application Menus/Settings: The application menus have been reorganised to better reflect workflows. In addition, all settings have been moved to a common Settings menu so users can easily find all application/user settings.
Project Open/Save: We’ve added up to 20 recently used projects in the Project à Open recent à Menu.
We’ve also given more control over where projects are stored when working with them and automatically create backup projects meaning users working on files stored on remote drives should have a more stable and performant experience.
Project Sample Filter: A project-level sample filter has been added, restricting all interactions in p:IGI+/Tranform to the selected static or dynamic sample set. Working on a subset of your project data means you don’t have to include the same criteria in numerous sample sets.
Sample sets: Improvements to the creation of sample sets, sees users able to take criteria from other existing sample sets, making it easy to combine/grow sample sets.
Also when working with static sample sets, users can opt to add the unselected samples set of samples, creating the set complement of the selected samples.
Collocations: As an alternative to merging, the new collocation feature brings together data from similar samples into a new set of samples while preserving the original samples.
When created, collocated samples are assigned a mean value, and a standard deviation is written to the corresponding uncertainty value for samples that collocate but have conflicting values.
Sorting in artefact folders: Artefact tree folders can have their contents sorted. This uses a natural sort order that works nicely for wells and text.
Property model: We've added a source document Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to the Ref Group. In the Geol group, alternative chronostrat & lithostrat properties have had descriptions updates to reflect that these properties can be populated from an alternative set of strat-tops loaded into the well manager. New reported top & base reservoir properties allow internal reservoir units to be stored for samples.
Additional Gas and MudGas ratios have been added to assist in Gas and MudGas interpretation. A new Pressure group has been created to enable users to store data needed to identify fluid types and fluid contact locations, and data associated with well drilling safety.
The Water group has had an overhaul, with the ionic properties relocated to their own Ions group (Water-Iso) and hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon dissolved gas concentrations added to the bulk chemical and physical water properties present.
The inorganic side of the model has been expanded to a complete set for XRF and Inorg (ICP) analyses.
Metis Highlights:
Chromatogram Files: Uploading and attaching chromatogram files (.pdf, .xlsx, .jpg, .png) to samples has been added following a similar pathway to upload of PVT files. These sample attached files can be viewed and retrieved directly from within p:IGI+ via Visual Query.
Create/Delete: Wells (candidate wells) can now be manually created in Transform. We’ve introduced a tool that can remove large datasets from Metis.
Metis Sign-in: We have improved the sign-in experience with Metis with users now able to opt to be kept signed in, which should reduce the frequency a user is asked for their login credentials. Also Metis Discover now shares sign-in information with p:IGI+ and Transform meaning a user should only have to sign in once rather than twice to download data.
