Import tops lists saved in delimited ASCII format files into GeoSyn tops lists so that they are available to your current synthetic. Delimiters can include commas, tabs, or spaces.
Delimited format is different than fixed width columns. All entries in fixed width columns align on the left-edge of the column. Delimited simply includes one or more delimiters between entries, but the items may not align neatly in columns.
When importing tops, you have the option of overwriting existing tops in the list. If you keep the current tops, imported tops with the same name appear alongside them.
To duplicate and then modify an existing tops list within GeoSyn, see Related topics below.
To import tops from delimited files:
1. From the File menu, point to Import, click Tops, and then select Delimited.
2. Browse to the desired tops file, and then click Open.
The Tops Import
dialog box opens.
GeoSyn automatically searches in the file you selected above for a UWI
that matches the one in your GeoSyn file and highlights the row in which
it appears in the tops source file.
3. Using
the display pane, verify whether the tops in the source file are ordered
in rows (formation top names run horizontally along a single row), or
columns (formation top names run vertically down a single column).
Your selection above is saved and applied the next time you launch the
Tops Import dialog box.
4. Using the Names in row or column and the Depths in row or column (depending on whether you selected Tops in rowsor Tops in columns above), specify the row or column in which the formation top names and depths appear.
5.
In the from and to
boxes, specify the range to import.
OR
Drag in the display pane to select the tops to import.
Rows are highlighted gray simply to show the columns and rows in which
formation top names and depths appear. Rows and columns highlighted green
are those that will be imported into GeoSyn.
Verify the delimeter GeoSyn chose is correct. GeoSyn attempts to determine the correct delimeter by reading the source file.
In the Top placement pane, select the desired processing options.
6. Click Apply.
The Select
a recipient tops list dialog box opens.
9. Select the list to which to import the tops, or click New top list, define a new tops list, and then click OK. Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click to select more than one tops list into which to import into the tops.
