 GETTING STARTED WITH GEOSOFT (Oasis Montaj)

WHAT IS GEOSOFT (Oasis Montaj)

Oasis Montaj provides a powerful suite of modeling and analysis tools for advanced
understanding of the Earth’s subsurface and subsea environment. Process, map, QA and
interpret all your data, including ground and airborne survey geophysics, geochemistry and
geology, within one dynamic, 3D environment.

• FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Visualize and analyze all available data to improve the quality of interpretations and
Create complex 3D earth models of the subsurface for sharing information with
colleagues and other stakeholders.
• Access over 15 geoscience extensions for all your data processing, interpretation and
modeling needs.
• inform project decision making.

STEPS INVOLVED IN DOWNLOADING THE GEOSOFT APP

1. Click on the Google icon and search “Download GEOSOFT app for PC”
2. The following options display on the screen. Click on the first option
3. Click on the download option to download the App

4. The app downloads in a Zip File format

5. Extract the Zip file and allow to run

6. Install the app for wait for some minutes
7. Open the install app

8. Create new project and save with any name of your choice. You can now use GEOSOFT
 HOW TO USE THE GEOSOFT APP

For cropping/Windowing a grids

GEOSOFT can be used for many other reasons and purpose both we will focus on cropping or
windowing a grid

Step 1- Import a grid

Step 2- press enter and allow to process

Step 3- Import X and Y coordinate of grid

Step 4- display and define grid using cursor

 IMPORTANCE OF CROPPING/WINDOWING A GRID

1. Focus on Area of interest: If you’re interested only in a specific area within a larger

dataset, cropping allows you to work with a smaller, more manageable subset of the data

2. Reducing processing time: Working with a smaller area can significantly reduce

processing time, especially for complex analysis

3. Reduce unnecessary data: These help you to direct your focus on the particular area and

help to work with smaller area for more clarification.
