A Wells layer contains the wells and well selector lines in the map. The wells that appear are in the same collars table. Wells maps are created with the Map | Create | Well Map command. Additional Wells layers can be added to the existing map with the Map | Add | Well Layer command.
To edit the labels displayed on the Wells layer, click on the Wells map layer in the Object Manager. The Wells properties are listed in the Property Manager. Click on the Label tab to display labels for all wells and change the label properties.
To move the label for an individual well, click on that well name in the Object Manager. Then, set the Label Layout in the Property Manager.
