Directional Wells - Map |
Directional wells present unique challenges for mapping. Unlike vertical wells that have a single XY location for their surface location, tops, and TD, deviated and directional wells occupy space along a wellbore that can extend thousands of feet away from the original surface location. Accurately spotting data on a map often means posting data well away from the surface or bottomhole location. Enabling Directional WellsBy default, Petra's Map Module will only display a well's surface location and bottom hole location - both of which are connected by a straight line. To enable directional well "work paths" which project the well's active directional survey onto the map surface, select Wells>Directional Survey>Enabled on the menu bar at the top of the Map Module.
