Dragging or Shifting Curves

You can drag and drop curves using the mouse. With the mouse, you can hover a curve in another well for correlation purposes or drag and drop it into another track of the parent well. When you move a curve with the mouse, you cannot change its start and stop depths or its left and right scale (unless you drop a curve from a linear track in a logarithmic track or vice versa).

Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to shift curves by depth or move them left and right.

To drag curves

Before moving curves, clear allow drag – drop in the options tab of the Single well properties dialog box so you don’t inadvertently move the well instead of the curve.

2. Click and hold to select the curve.

3. Move your cursor to ensure you’ve selected a curve.

4. Drag the curve and hover it over a different well for correlation purposes or drag it over a track in the parent well then release the mouse to place the curve in that track.

Note You cannot drop the curve into another well or between wells. If you drop the curve into the next track, the parent track for the curve changes.

To shift curves left or right

2. Click to select the curve.

3. Press the left or right arrow keys on the keyboard to move the curve to the desired location while monitoring the horizontal location and movement direction in the status bar.

4. Click another area of the cross section to place the curve.

Shifting a curve changes left and right scales only, not the engineering values. You cannot use this option to shift logarithmic curves. To change the scale for logarithmic tracks, click Setting Logarithmic Track Scales.

To shift curves by depth

2. Click to select the curve.

3. Press the up or down arrow keys on the keyboard to move the curve to the desired depth.

4. Click another area of the cross section to place the curve.
