Changing Deviated Well Properties

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.

To change deviated well properties:

From the Edit menu, select Well and Log Properties () > Directional properties.

The Well Properties: Directional properties opens.

Hover the cursor () over the display pane and move it along the deviation line to view the Eastings and Northings.
Do either of the following:

Type a value in the Projection azimuth box.
Hover the cursor over the compass. The cursor becomes a hand (). Click and hold while dragging the dashed red projection line (oriented north-south by default), and release the mouse button to place the line.

Click Update to see the effects of your changes on the main synthetic display then click Close.
