The WinLoG program has numerous features to make creating and editing of borehole logs easier and faster. Most of the existing features have been enhanced in Version 4 of the program, and many new features have been added.
Graphical Information System (GIS) for displaying and picking boreholes and cross-sections in WinLoG with WinFence. GIS can also display site features and import AutoCAD files.
Project reports can be generated for all data in a project, for example:
o layer tops and thickness
o blow counts
o water content
Deviated boreholes can be entered and displayed in true depth. Deviation readings can be entered manually or imported from a file. Several methods for calculating true depth are supported.
Tables (ex. Water Level Readings) can be displayed on boring logs and templates.
Templates and projects can have password locks that can be used to restrict changes to a template and access to a project.
AGS format files can be imported and exported.
gINT, LogPlot, and GTGS files can be imported.
Data in Excel can be imported into all the logs in a project at the same time. This can be used to import the survey data for all the boreholes from a spreadsheet.
Continuous logs are supported. These logs span several pages and do not have any page breaks. They are usually printed on tracker feed printers and are used for Geophysical and Mud logging applications
Program can now automatically update itself to the most recent version. The program searches GAEA Technologies website for any new upgrades to WinLoG and upgrades the program if the agreed to by the user.
Program now has online technical support, where it can email technical support all relevant files and information if there is a problem.
Borehole data can be exported to excel.
Project databases can be compressed to save disk space and speed up data access.
A new column type has been added to support percent splits. This is used to show the percentages of different lithologies in a layer.
A new column type has been added to support core photographs. This is used to show the pictures of cores or downhole images.
All of the WinLoG databases (Project, Project List, Main Database) are automatically backed up and can be easily restored.
Standard pulldown menus and status line.
Five floating and dockable toolbars containing the most commonly used commands.
Multiple windows support.
Online context sensitive help.
Borehole logs can be zoomed in and out.
Borehole logs can be scrolled between pages.
Support for all Windows fonts, printers, and displays;
Support for Imperial and Metric page sizes.
Windows network compatible.
No limit to the number of projects.
New projects can be easily created. Project directories are automatically created.
Existing projects can be opened and closed using toolbar and menu commands.
Projects can be deleted, including project directories.
Projects not in master database can be imported into master database.
Multiple borehole logs in a project can be printed at once.
Support for uploading and downloading data to Pocket WinLoG on the Pocket PC.
Standard Windows new, open, save, and print commands.
No limit to the maximum depth of a borehole log.
The plot depth per page can be set in the template or changed for each log.
Borehole data in the headers and footers can contain checkboxes and rich text (font type, size, color, etc. can be modified).
An unlimited number of floating paragraph text boxes can be added anywhere to a borehole log. The background and frame colors can be specified individually for each text box.
An unlimited number of bitmap files can be imported into a borehole log. These files can contain logos, site maps, sample pictures, etc.

Version 1 and 2 borehole logs can be imported.
Borehole logs can be imported and exported using a text exchange format.
Borehole logs can be exported to the Windows clipboard, a bitmap file, a metafile, or an AutoCAD DXF file.
The ability to import borehole data from Excel files has been added. This feature is available in the Edit menu and can be used to import lithologic descriptions and macros, core macros, samples, graphs, and remarks. Each of these data types is mapped to a range of cells in the spreadsheet. A script file can be created containing the cell ranges for each data type. The script file can then be used to import spreadsheet data into several boreholes without reentering the cell ranges. In addition to cell ranges, formulas can be entered to calculate the data values from one or two ranges.
An unlimited number of lithologic layers can be added.
Each lithologic layer can have an optional title.
Macros can be used to insert selected text comments into the layer descriptions.
Macros contain text and symbol definitions, and can be added and edited by the user.
Layer descriptions can contain rich text (i.e. varying fonts, colors, and symbols).
Symbols for each lithologic layer can be selected from an unlimited number of lithologic libraries each library contains 18 symbols.
Lithologic symbols can be split vertically to display two symbols for each layer.
The contact angle between lithologic symbols can be specified and used to represent gradational contacts.
The program comes with over 100 lithologic symbols.
Foreground and background colors can be specified for each lithologic symbol.
The lines between layers can be individually customized.
Core logs can be specified at separate intervals and with different lithologies than layers.
An unlimited number of soil or rock samples can be added.
Start depth, length, sample symbol, type, blows/ft, recovery, and other text data can be specified for each sample.
An unlimited number of other sample columns can be used for a wide variety of text and numeric sample data.
The lines between samples can be individually customized.
Sample type symbols can be selected from 30 different symbols.
Recoveries can be represented as numbers or as a shaded box.
Blow counts can be shown on one line or four lines.
Added Well Macros that can be used to quickly add standard well components, water level information, and text annotation to a log. Macros can be used for single well installation, complex nested wells, aboveground well casings, etc. Well macros can be created using the Well Macros menu item on the File menu, or by saving existing well completion details of a log as a well macro. There is no limit to the number of macros that can be used.
An unlimited number of wells can be added.
Wells can be shown using three different methods with varying levels of complexity.
Wells can be drawn by selecting from a variety of seals, packing material, casings, screens, covers, caps, reducers, tubing, sampling ports, etc.
Well completion details are drawn in vector mode to scale.
Wells can contain multiple casings and screens.
The diameters of the pipes and screens can be varied with depth.
Horizontal and vertical text annotation can be added to the sides of the well to show completion details and other information.
Annotation can be connected to well components using three different arrow styles.

Either one or two geophysical logs can be displayed in a column.
New templates can be created by specifying the number of columns, the inclusion of a header and footer, page size, and page layout.
Templates can have either a one or two page format. The two page format allows for a larger header or footer on the first page of the log and a more concise header or footer on the second and subsequent pages of the log.
The location of header and footer titles, columns, and other text can be positioned easily and accurately.
Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines and arrows can be drawn anywhere on a template. The thickness, style and color of the lines can be specified.
