Directional Wells - Map

 
Map: Wells > Directional Survey > Enabled.

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 Wells

By 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 project a well's active directional survey onto the map surface you must enable Directional Surveys on the map. From the Map modules menu bar select:.

Wells > Directional Survey > Enabled.
