Integrating with Google Earth
This module provides the ability to create Google Earth format .kmz files from OpenWorks
projects. These .kmz files are in fact zip files containing the .kml file with spatial
information, and associated .png files for well, line and survey icons.
Coverage includes well locations, position logs, 2D lines, 3D surveys and OpenWorks
project extents based on well data.
Important note: this module converts project X/Y coordinates into lat/long using the
WGS84 geodetic datum, which may differ from the project geodetic datum.
To execute from a graphical user interface, first source the WebApps environment then
type Ow2kml. Ow2kml may also be launched from the wowgui interface.
prompt> source $OWHOME/WebApps/templates/wow.login
(if C-shell)
prompt> . $OWHOME/WebApps/templates/wow.profile (if Bourne shell)
prompt> Ow2kml
The GUI is illustrated below. Select any project, or OWSYS to generate OpenWorks project
extents. An output .kmz file must also be selected. By default, all wells, surveys and lines
will be included; specify lists to subset if required. There are also options to include
position logs (no by default) and to use spud date to display wells over time.
To execute on the command-line using ow2kml, first source the WebApps environment,
then type ow2kml to see the usage:
