Quick area/volume calculations
Need a fast estimate of a prospect’s size? Use Insight’s Geometry tools to run quick calculations of area and volume.
Pick a polygon in the map and click the area calculation check box to see the area immediately. You can use an existing polygon or pick a temporary one using the tools.

To calculate the volume, add a top and base boundary extent. You can enter values directly or choose interpreted horizons - or a combination of both. It’s easy to investigate the effect on volume of different contact depths by adjusting the values.

Note: For prospects with a closed contour, use the Generate Polygons from Closed Contours option in the Contours section to quickly pick the polygon.
