Auto-Insert and Display Synthetics in Seismic Lines or Fences

Follow these steps to use the Auto Insert Mode to automatically insert synthetics into 3D in-lines, cross-lines, 2D Lines, and fences, and then overlay those synthetics on your seismic:

1. Click from the Fence toolbar to turn on Auto Insert Mode. The icon will appear shaded .
2. Create a fence in All Mode, 2D Mode, or 3D Mode; or open a 3D in-line, cross-line, or 2D seismic line from the Map window. WinPICS will insert into your seismic line or fence all the synthetics that fall within the project's seismic well projection radius, and it will automatically open the Seismic window to display your line or fence.

• You can change the Seismic Well Projection Radius in the Project Preferences dialog box.

3. In the Seismic window's Display Mode toolbar, click to turn on the synthetic display to see the seismic overlay. As well, you will also see the names of the tops from the synthetic (listed on the seismic next to the synthetic), which should match with the names of the horizons from the seismic (listed on the left and right side of the Seismic window). You can use this information to help you to stretch and squeeze the synthetic until it lines up with the seismic. View image

4. To turn off the Auto Insert Mode, click . The icon will return to normal .

• When you create a fence in All Mode, you can add synthetics to your fence without turning on the Auto Insert Mode. Simply click the cursor on each well you want to add, and WinPICS will add that synthetic to your fence.
