How to Draw Bubble Maps

Bubble maps are useful tools for creating quick maps of production, fluid parameters, and other well information. You can use a bubble map to quickly compare one or more types of information in your map (For example, the relative amounts of oil, water, and gas that were produced by every well in your results list).

You cannot view a bubble map for more than one result list at a time.

Basic workflow

Follow these steps to create a bubble map of your area:

From the Main Menu bar, select Map | Bubble Map/Time Slice Properties, or click on the Bubble Map/Time Slice Tools toolbar, to open the Bubble Map Properties dialog box, where you can set up your bubble map.

To ensure GeoVista is not in time slice mode, make sure appears on the Bubble Map/Time Slice Tools toolbar.
To set the bubble map properties for a specific layer (not necessarily the currently selected layer), right-click on the layer in the Layer Manager tab, and choose Bubble Map Properties from the shortcut menu.

Click <OK> to close the Bubble Map Properties dialog box and refresh the Map View to display the bubbles.
Use the Map toolbar to zoom in and view the information in your bubbles.
To turn off your bubble map display, click on the Bubble Map/Time Slice Tools toolbar.
