Adding a Well Selector Line - Tutorial

A well selector line can be used to create a cross section or to show multiple wells connected on the map. Wells are selected in the order that they should appear in the cross section with the furthest left well in the cross section selected first on the map. To connect wells:

1. Click the Map 1 map object or any of the layers or objects in the map.

2. Click the Map | Add | Well Selector command or right-click on the map and choose Add | Well Selector.

3. The cursor changes to .  As the cursor approaches a well, the well name appears in a floating box. This makes selecting the right well easier. Click on the first well, DH-1, to select it.

4. Click on each additional well in the order that the logs will appear in the cross section. Click on DH-2 next.

5. Press the ENTER key on the keyboard or double-click on the last well to end the current well selector line.

6. Press ESC on the keyboard to end selector mode.

The order the wells will be displayed in the cross section is shown in the Object Manager by the well order in the name for the well selector line. DH-1 appears first in the well selector name, so it will appear on the left side of the cross section. DH-2 appears last, so it will appear on the right side of the cross section. Had the wells been selected in the reverse order, DH-2 would be on the left side in the Object Manager name and in the cross section.

The cross section will have two wells:

DH-1 on the left side of the cross section

and DH-2 on the right side of the cross section.

The wells are connected with a line. This line connects the wells that will be displayed in the cross section.

The well selector line is added to

the map, connecting the wells.
