Hi ,
Welcome to the final quarterly edition of OGSR Wireline in 2020.
It's been a year of rapid change and adaptation.
Even though we have been busy digitizing the library since the website was first registered in 1999, this year has greatly underscored the need for digital data access. Several new digital catalogues have been polished up and are being made ready for publication soon.
Our driller supplies (sample bags and core boxes)
continue to be available at this time. Please call or email to make pickup arrangements.
The laboratory is available for rock drill chip and rock core viewing. To help us maintain a safe laboratory environment for users and staff access is by appointment.
All the best,
OGSR Library Team

Geology Update
By Alexandre, Candace, Hanna
During the summer, the OGSRL Geology team was performing Quality Analysis and Quality Control (QA/QC) of southern Ontario’s subsurface Geology.
This project is part of the second revision of the 3D Lithostratigraphic Model of Southern Ontario and the development of the Hydrogeological Model of Southern Ontario. Each geologist was assigned a series of geological formations to check for anomalous surfaces and to confirm/update the existing top depths in the database; this was a coordinated effort between
the geologists and the GIS staff.
Geological formations revised were obtained from the Ontario Petroleum Data System (OPDS). Gamma ray logs, neutron logs, drill cores and drill samples were used to analyse and update/confirm formation top depths in the database. All the Formations reviewed for the 3D model were examined using the published standards in Armstrong and Carter (2010) Special Volume
7, to ensure consistent and reliable results.
Throughout the QA/QC project, several issues were identified in the database and have since been fixed. The issues encountered included: inconsistent, missing and/or incorrect unit top picks for geological formations, and data entry errors. Formation top picking for the lithostratigraphic 3D model has now been completed and the new focus is on the Oil,
Gas and Water (OGW) Analyses.
Currently, the Geology team is performing QA/QC of Oil, Gas and Water Analyses to ensure that all the producing intervals are within their respective/updated formations.
The work performed by the OGSR Library Team will result in an updated database (OPDS) and this means that our clients will have access to the most up to date and reliable subsurface geological data in southern Ontario. Additionally, the updated 3D lithostratigraphic model and hydrogeological model will soon be available to our clients. The new models and the revised formation top data can be used for; exploration
for and development of hydrocarbon and mineral resources, hydrocarbon and compressed air storage, studies related to deep geological storage of nuclear wastes and liquid wastes, mapping intermediate and deep groundwater systems and geological education.
Virtual Reality Update
By Kyra
I am eager to provide an update on the progress of a few exciting projects from the info science team at the OGSR library. In the summer newsletter I gave a brief introduction about the VR application our team was working on, which has come a long way since then.
We are now in the process of wrapping up development on the app and are excited for others to start using it. The app will provide users with the opportunity to visualize and interact with a 3D model of Ontario's Paleozoic geology in a data driven stereoscopic VR experience to better understand the geometry of the geological layer. The app is based on an open world exploration concept, taking place in a laboratory with various interactive lab stations for the user
to explore. These lab stations describe the basics of oil, gas, water and salt resources in Ontario and the Paleozoic geology in the province.
To go along with the app, we also have a complete series of videos up on the OGSR Library’s YouTube channel that follow the development process from start to finish, broken into key topics, which should be useful to anyone interested in learning how to integrate geological data into a VR environment.
Another project I discussed in the summer newsletter was focused on bringing more of the library’s vast collection of data online for easier accessibility. We are now in the final stages of development on a new tool to view and inspect the library’s core photo images online, as more and more cores are being photographed and digitized in an ongoing effort by the library.

Computer Science Summer Recap
By Ninava
Looking back on my summer at the OGSR Library I am a different person then I was coming in. I leave the Information Systems Assistant position equipped with so many essential technical and soft skills.
I started at the library assisting the team with writing code to digitize files and eventually moved to my main project, the VR project. I learned how to generate graphs and images in R Studios as well venture into the world of Virtual Reality and Game Development.
The VR project was the perfect opportunity for a novice developer like me to get their feet wet leading a software project from beginning to end. From getting the client requirements to designing the game logic and base algorithms, database structure, and game concept I got to experience all areas of game development which really enriched my learning experience.
Everyday I would tackle a new problem and was challenged to solve it. Therefore, allowing me to apply my knowledge from school as well as picking up new skills and techniques that I can now add to my technical arsenal. I also learned the importance of understanding software requirements and communicating effectively with clients to get a desired final product.
Aside from technical knowledge I also got to experience the beauty of the diversity of Ontario’s geology through field trips and the staff. The library is such a unique place with wonderful people, and I am very grateful that I got to experience the world of Ontario geology with the OGSRL!

What is the OGSR Library?
The Oil, Gas & Salt Resources Library is a not-for-profit corporation that manages all of Ontario's public drilling and production data from the petroleum and solution mined salt industries. This includes processing, storing, and providing safe and convenient access to all of the industry's drill core and rock cuttings. The Library makes as much of this data as possible available through our online portal to members all over the world. The financial support of the petroleum industry and
our membership make this possible.
