Geological Picks

A geological pick, in the context of the ORMGP, is an x/y/z assignment, usually at a well or borehole location, that represents the interpreted top of a regionally extensive geological unit. For the most part the picks in the database have been made on dynamic cross-sections that allow for the different intersected layers in a borehole to be readily displayed. Picks are made on those layers that are interpreted to reflect the regional geological surfaces of interest (e.g. Halton Till, Oak Ridges Moraine, etc.), and therefore more minor sand lenses or other local units might not be reflected in the geological picks. These geologic picks are stored in the ‘PICKS’ table in the database.

In addition to picks at wells, there are additional imported or synthetic picks that are also stored in the PICKS EXTERNAL table, these include:

The ‘PICKS’ and the ‘PICKS_EXTERNAL’ tables in the database hold the picks utilized for 3D geologic surface construction. Each type of pick can be incorporated or omitted from the interpolation of the geological surfaces.
