8.2 - Importing Trajectory Data

At this point, all that has been imported is the collar, or top location, of the six wells. The well trajectory is the trace of the well. The trace defines the way the location of the well moves as it gets deeper. To import the well trajectories, follow the steps in this section.

  1. Click the File | Import command.

  2. In the Import dialog, select the well file. Select the SampleWellData 2.xlsx again and click Open.

  3. In the XLSX Import Options dialog, select the Trajectories table and click OK.

  4. In Property Manager

    1. Check to make sure the Output type is set to Wells. The Output type selection is remembered from the last import.

    2. Change the Sheet type property to Directional Survey. Notice that a different set of properties is visible in the Property Manager than for the Collars selection in the previous section. Again the columns are specified correctly because of the order of the data in the worksheet.

  5. Click the output connection pad on the SampleWellData 2.xlsx - Trajectories module. Next click the input connection pad on the WellData module.

  6. In the context menu, select Connect Input worksheet B (not connected) to finish connecting the two modules.

The information is imported, and the actual X, Y, and Z values for the path of the well are automatically calculated by the program.
