Gridding and Mapping WellData

Once WellData is imported, it can be displayed as a WellRender or it can be extracted into X, Y, and Z values and gridded for display as a VolRender, Isosurface, HeightField, or any other type of lattice-based map.

 

This section starts with an already existing WellData module. To import the data used for these sections, follow the steps on the Importing WellData and Displaying Wells page.

 

Extracting WellData

Before anything can be done with the log information, the wells need to be extracted to a data file.

  1. Click on the WellData module in the Network Manager.

  2. Click the Network | Computational | ExtractPoints command to attach an ExtractPoints module to the data.

  3. Click on the ExtractPoints module in the Network Manager.

  4. In the Property Manager, change the Output components to 2, so that both the MnO and TiO2 can be extracted.

  5. Change the Component [2] to the TiO2 log.

Gridding WellData

The extracted data can be gridded using a Gridder module.

  1. Click the Network | Computational | Gridder command to attach a Gridder module to the extracted points.

  2.  In the Property Manager, set the input component to 2 to grid the TiO2 data.

  3. Because the data is more likely to be relevant to other values in the same Z plane, an anisotropic search method or gridding method may need to be set. For now, we'll use the default isotropic settings.

  4. Click the Begin Gridding button to grid the TiO2 data.

Mapping WellData

Once the data is gridded, any lattice based maps can be added. Click the Network | Graphics Output | Isosurface to add an Isosurface module. The Isosurface properties can be changed to better connect the wells.
