Modifying Wells

Wells are imported into WellData modules. Once the wells exist in the WellData module, the wells can be displayed with a WellRender module or the data can be extracted with an ExtractPoints module. The below list a few of the features of the wells that can be changed.

 

Importing Wells

To import wells in a tabular format data file:

  1. Click the File | Import command.

  2. In the Import dialog, select the well data file and click Open.

  3. In the Property Manager, specify the Output type, Sheet type, and data columns.

  4. If necessary, create a WellData module by double-clicking Well | WellData in the Module Manager.

  5. Connect the Data Source module to the WellData module.

To import wells in a non-tabular format:

  1. Click the File | Import command.

  2. In the Import dialog, select the well data file and click Open.

  3. Specify any file import options in the file type specific Import Options dialog.

  4. In the Network Manager, you can see that a WellData module was created. Click on the WellData module to select it. In the Property Manager, you can see the wells that were imported. If you click on the next to any well, you can see the information that was imported for that well.

 

Importing Additional Wells

If an existing WellData module exists and your files are in a tabular format, you can use the steps in the Importing Wells section above to import additional wells.

 

If the data file is in a non-tabular format, such as LAS, check the Add to existing WellData module check box in the Import Options dialog. Alternatively, click on the WellData module. In the Property Manager, click the Add Data button.

 

Hiding Wells

To hide  wells, click on the WellData module in the Network Manager. In the Property Manager, click on the well to be hidden.  Right-click and select Hide [well name] from the menu. The well is disabled from the WellData module and hidden in the viewer window. To show a hidden well, right-click on the well and select Show [well name] from the menu.

 

Select the Hide MW-1 text to hide the MW-1 well in the viewer window.

 

Alternatively you can hide wells in the WellRender module properties. Click on the WellRender module. In the Property Manager, click on the General tab. In the Wells section, uncheck the box next to the well you don't want to display.

 

Changing Wells

To change well information, update the well information in the Voxler worksheet. If the well data is imported into a Data Source module, click the Edit Worksheet button in the Property Manager to update the well data in the worksheet. Changes made to the well information are automatically visible when you return to the Viewer window.

 

If the well data was imported directly into the WellData module, update the well information in the original data file. Next, in Voxler, use the steps in the Importing Wells section above to import the changed data. Voxler will automatically change the data in the WellData node to the new data.

 

Displaying Wells

To display wells, add a WellRender module to the WellData module. Click on the WellData module to select it. Click the Network | Graphics Output | WellRender command. The default display for the wells is shown.

 

Setting Well Properties

Well properties are set in the WellRender module. Click on the WellRender module in the Network Manager to select it. Properties are changed in the Property Manager.
