Profile Viewer (Home)

With this feature...	Do this...
Print Preview	Click to display the Print Preview dialog box where you configure what to output to the printer. Note that raster images may be down-scaled in the Print Preview, but this is not an accurate representation of how the printed log will appear. The quality of the printed log will match the quality of the original raster log image. Annotations displayed in Print Preview may overlap as annotation placement is anchored to the extents of the page size. To prevent overlap, increase the page size.
Copy	Click to copy an image of the entire profile pane to the Windows Clipboard. The entire display pane at minimum zoom is copied, regardless of the current display pane extents. You then paste the Windows Clipboard into another application. The profile is copied and pasted as EMF file format for digital logs, and EMF with an embedded bitmap for raster logs.
Copy Current View	Click to copy an image of the current display pane to the Windows Clipboard. You then paste the Windows Clipboard into another application. The profile is copied and pasted as EMF file format for digital logs, and EMF with an embedded bitmap for raster logs.
Zoom	Click to zoom in or out by half of the current screen extents.
Detail View	Click to zoom in to the optimum maximum scale.
Wellbore View	Click to zoom out to the optimum minimum scale.
Reload Tops	Click to populate the display pane with the latest tops.
Pick Top	Click to display the Select Formation dialog box where you specify the system or user top, or user formation to place along the wellbore.
Post	Select whether to post the short or long name of the formation top in the display pane.
Active	Select a formation top from the Active drop-down list. To increase the volume of formation tops available in the Active drop-down list, increase the number in the Surfaces box that appears below the Mini Profile. You can also display a top in this list by selecting that one top in the Areal drop-down list below. See Areal below for details.
Add Off-Well Top Point	With a formation top selected in the Active drop-down list, change the depth of that top outside of the subject wellbore by clicking Add Off-Well Top, and then clicking the desired depth to which to raise or lower the formation top. Hover the cursor over an off-well top point and then drag the point to change either the depth, or the point along the formation top where the depth change occurs.
Show Off-Well Top Points	Click to explicitly show the markers added to a formation that customize the formation depth. Drag these markers to change either the depth, or the point along the formation top where the depth change occurs.
Label Off-Well Top Points	Display the formation top name followed by the suffix <OFF>.
Well Azimuth	Display the azimuth on the right side of the wellbore.
Inclination Angle	Display the inclination angle on the left side of the wellbore.
Wellbore 3D Viewer	Launch the Wellbore 3D Viewer, which enables you to see how a well relates to neighboring wells, or to a given structural surface.
Display Pane	For digital logs, hover over the curve to display readings and depths. Hover over tops to display top names and depths. Drag tops to a different measured depth along the wellbore. Right-click a user top and click delete from the context menu to remove it from the wellbore. Right-click to copy an image of either the well profile, or the current view and paste it into other applications.
Viewport	Type the TVD depth at which to start the top of the display pane. Lowering the top of the viewport increases the directional detail along the horizontal leg of the wellbore. If viewing raster images, lowering the TVD can also reduce the image overlap that can occur due to sharp inclinations by reducing the width of the log image.
Digital Logs: Left \| Right	Select the logs with which to display interpretive colors on either side of the wellbore. Note: When you switch between different log types by making different selections between the Digital Logs pane and the S&P Global Inc. Hub Raster Logs pane, the zoom scale displayed in the profile pane can change; however, when you select different log types or segments without switching between raster and digital logs, the zoom scale is preserved.
Definitions	Click to display the Global Digital Curve Type Definitions dialog box where you select the aliases to associate with a curve type, and create new mnemonics.
Link to Proprietary	Click to navigate to proprietary LAS files with which to display interpretive colors on either side of the wellbore. Local LAS files must be in measured depth units.
Reload from Local Storage \| Reload from S&P Global Inc. Hub	Switch the logs defined in the left and right tracks (or their Global Digital Curve Definitions) and then click to update Profile Viewer. Also change the display from local LAS file to the S&P Global Inc. Hub or vice versa if you clicked Link to Proprietary above. The source of the log is written vertically up the left margin of the Profile Viewer window.
Nearby Area	View surface well symbols within 5 KM of the subject well on all sides. Right-click and select whether to copy the map to the Windows Clipboard as either a BMP or EMF image that you then paste into other applications. These options are also available in the Mini Map tab.
Subsea	Select a formation from the drop-down list at which to view interpretative colors. Only formations that are picked for the wellbore are available for selection.
Margin	Specify the surface area to show around the wellbore by typing or selecting a value in the Margin % box. Changing the margin does not change the volume of vertical wells displayed.
S&P Global Inc. Hub Raster Logs: Get Default Segment	Click to display the longest 1:240 MD raster segment available for the well.
MD Hub Raster Logs Lookup Table	Click to display a table where you select a log segment from all of the raster log segments available for a well.
Mini Profile	View the green rectangle, whose size and dimensions represent the current display pane extents in relation to the wellbore, and whose position in relation to the thumbnail wellbore indicates the relative position of the wellbore in the actual display pane. Drag the green rectangle along the wellbore to control the portion of the wellbore visible in the actual display pane.
Surfaces	Select whether to display horizons for all of the formation tops in the current wellbore. Once displayed, each of the formation tops can be selected from the Active drop-down list in the Off-Well Top Points group in the main ribbon so that depth points and labels can be added to change the depth at various points along the sub-surface horizon. As you increase the number of surfaces to display using this control, tops are added starting from the deep picked to shallowest well that are picked in the subject wellbore.
Areal	Select from a list of tops that are picked at least three times in one or more wells that fall within 3,000 metres of the subject well to make this top available in the Active drop-down list that appears above.

Annotations displayed in Print Preview may overlap as annotation placement is anchored to the extents of the page size. To prevent overlap, increase the page size.
