Point Events

 

Point events are a special kind of event that reflect a point or depth along the well.

To create a point event, select the button on the events toolbar.  Next, click on the well at the depth where you would like to place your event.  After setting the location, the Edit Event tool will open:

Data tab

Select Survey Definition

Petra can handle multiple sets of directional surveys.  This dropdown sets which set of surveys the point event will be associated with.  

Top

Sets the depth of the point event.

Text Box

Sets the text that will be displayed in the event.

Date and Time

These two entries set the date and time of the event.  By default, this is set to the time the event is created.  It's probably a good idea to change these to reflect the date and time of the drilling event.
