Add a New Well

The Edit Well dialog enables you to add, modify, or delete well markers that appear on the model Cross-Section and Plan Views.

Well locations are input in model coordinates, i.e. X-Distance along the profile, Y-distance from the plane of the section, and Z-elevation of the ground surface (Z is positive down). Well horizons are input as depth below ground surface and should always be positive. Units for X, Y, Z, and depth to horizons may be independently selected using the pull-down menus in the Edit Well dialog box.

If Enable Wells is not activated, wells may be added and configured, but no wells will be displayed with the model.

6. In the X Coordinate field, specify the distance along the profile, in model coordinates.

7. In the Y Coordinate field, specify the offset from the profile, in model coordinates.

8. Select a Well Symbol from the drop-down list.

9. For up to 10 Well Horizons, specify the Relative Depth, depth from the top of the well to the first horizon marker, and optional Horizon label.
