Changing Deviated Well Properties

Import a directional survey saved in GeoGraphix, Open Works, or ASCII format. When the directional survey is applied to the synthetic, you can display it showing deviation calculated from a projection of the wellbore onto a user-selected azimuth.

You can only modify directional properties after you import a directional survey. For details, see Related Topics below.
