Well Selector Dialog

 In the Create Well Selector dialog or Well Selector Editor dialog, wells can be rearranged, added, and deleted from the well selector line. The Create Well Selector dialog appears when creating a cross section. The Well Selector Editor dialog appears when editing a well selector line from a map view.

 

The left side contains a list of all available wells in the map.

The right side contains a list of wells in the current well selector.

 

Searching for Wells

The Create Well Selector or Well Selector Editor dialog contains a search box to quickly locate wells. Start typing a well name in the Search available wells box, and the first match will be highlighted in the Available wells list. Click Find Next to move the selection to the next matching well name. The search is not case sensitive.

 

The search string must match the beginning of the well name. The search will not return results for intermediate matching characters. Using the image above for example, if South is typed into the Search available wells box, the South Barrow 16 well is selected in the Available wells list. Clicking Find Next will move the selection to South Barrow 17, then South Barrow 18, etc. However, if Barrow is typed into the Search available wells box, no matching wells are found.

 

The search string does not need to be a complete word. Again using the image above as an example, if tu is typed in the Search available wells box, the Tulageak 1 well is selected in the Available wells list. Clicking Find Next moves the selection to Tunalik 1.

 

An asterisk (*) can be appended to the end of the search string to select all matching results. Using the image above as an example, if South* is typed in the Search available wells box, the South Barrow 16, South Barrow 17, South Barrow 18, South Barrow 19, and South Barrow 20 wells are all selected.

 

Click the to open a list of previous search terms. Click Find Next to add a search string to the previous searches list. Up to ten search terms are saved in the list.

A well can be added to the Create Well Selector or Well Selector Editor more than once. However, two adjacent wells cannot have the same hole ID. That is, the well cannot be next to itself in the list.

 

Modifying Well Order

On the right side of the dialog in the Wells in selector list, change the wells so that the wells are in the order they should appear in the cross section. To move wells, click on the well to move, hold down the left mouse button, and drag the well to the desired location. A indicates a location where the well can be moved. a appears in a location where the selected well cannot be moved. Click OK when all of the wells are in the proper order and the well selector line updates.

 

Deleting Wells

To delete wells from the well selector, open the Well Selector Editor dialog. Click on the well to be removed in the Wells in selector list. Click the button and the selected well is removed from the list. Click OK and the well selector line is updated to not include the deleted wells.

 

To remove all wells but the top two, click the button. After clicking the Minimum button, all wells except for the top two are removed from the Wells in selector list. This is a quick way to recreate the well selector line or delete multiple wells at once.
