Picking and Editing Events

  
DWM: Toolbars > Events

"Events" store depth-related information and annotations about directional wells.   This can include casing information, gas kicks or fluid losses, drilling or rig events, lithological data from cuttings, or sidetrack annotation.

Events are stored in the table on the Main Module Interval tab where they can be edited or deleted.

There are three different kinds of events:

  • Text boxes
  • Point events—save information about a single depth on a directional well
  • Range events—save data about a part of the directional well between a top and base
