Changing Deviated Well Properties

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

GeoSyn 2D cannot display the offset in the model because it complicates interpolating the velocity field.

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

To change deviated well properties

1. On the depth page, right-click a well with a directional survey to import and from the shortcut menu, select Well properties > Directional properties.

The Well Properties: Directional properties dialog box appears.

2. Hover the cursor () over the display pane and move it along the deviation line to view the Eastings and Northings.

3. Do either of the following:

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.

Type a value in the Projection azimuth box.

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