Workflow Cookbook

Audience: evaluators and workflow builders
Status: Preview

This page collects current runnable workflow examples in one place. They show implemented slices of the platform; they do not define Ophiolite as only logs, seismic, or one application workflow.

The goal is to make the public surface easy to scan by job, similar to a small cookbook.

Current canonical examples

1. Project discovery

Use when you want to verify the local project surface and the well-survey object graph.

• open or create a project
• inspect summaries
• list wells and surveys

See Python project workflow.

2. Current log/LAS to AVO slice

Use when you want the current well-log example path:

• import LAS into a project
• resolve elastic log types such as Dt, Dts, and Rho
• define interval layering
• run Zoeppritz AVO
• export typed response and crossplot sources

Primary surfaces:

• Project
• Wellbore
• ElasticChannelBindings
• LayeringSpec
• AvoExperiment
• AvoResult.response_source(...)

See Python project workflow and the repo example under examples/golden_paths/log_avo/.

3. Current seismic processing slice

Use when you want a typed built-in seismic operator chain in the current runtime:

• open a dataset
• choose a section
• build a TraceProcessingPipeline
• preview bandpass + RMS AGC
• persist the processed dataset

Primary surfaces:

• TraceBoostApp
• SeismicDataset
• SectionSelection
• TraceProcessingPipeline

See Python project workflow and the repo example under examples/golden_paths/seismic_processing/.

4. CLI automation

Use when you want repeatable command execution, CI scripts, or operational inspection.

See CLI project automation.

5. Well and top-set selection

Use when you want a focused example around:

• top-set discovery
• repeated-label interval selection
• stable interval selectors
• interval-driven workflow preparation

See Well and top-set workflow.

6. Seismic ingest and geometry review

Use when you want a focused example around:

• SEG-Y preflight
• geometry overrides
• typed dataset import and open

See Seismic ingest and geometry workflow.

7. External Python operator package

Use when you want to extend Ophiolite without changing the core runtime.

Primary surfaces:

• OperatorRegistry
• OperatorRequest
• computed_curve(...)

See Custom Python operator.

Gaps still open

The cookbook is still thin compared with a mature library.

The next high-value additions would be:

• well-panel and top-set workflows
• broader seismic ingest and geometry examples
• more rock-physics workflows
• project lifecycle and reproducibility examples around operator locks
