Manually Enter Well Survey
Enter in well survey data so the track for non-vertical wells displays accurately. The track for a deviated well will be displayed on your maps if survey
data has been imported or manually entered for the well, and if survey X, Y,
and Z values have been computed. See Importing Well Surveys.
You can enter in the information from the Well Database dialog box or from the Map Window.

- Specify the units for time, X/Y coordinates,
and depth.
- Click <Add Row>, and enter the measured depth, inclination and azimuth from your survey. Repeat until you have entered all the survey values.
- Click <Compute Dogleg> to get a good estimation of the true vertical depth and dogleg severity inside the well. You'll get a message if any required data (measured depth, inclination, or azimuth) is missing. After you click this button, the values display in radian.
- The difference between your start depth and end depth must be a minimum of 25 meters, or 83 feet.
- Click <Update> to calculate the survey time using the time/depth curve. When you make changes and click this button, you'll update all the values within the gray shaded area of the dialog box.
- If your <Update> button is grayed out it means there is no checkshot assigned to the well spot. For further information, see Edit Checkshots.
