Photon ASCII Tops

WinPICS provides a pre-processor to parse out tops information from Photon ASCII well-spot files.

  5. Click <OK> to proceed to the Define Well TOPS Source Units dialog box. Specify the Depth (MD or TVD), Time and Velocity format for the fields contained in the input file.
  6. Click <OK> to continue. The Associate selected wells with TOPS dialog box will open. A check mark will display a successful match between the selected well and TOPS file.
  7. You may force an association by selecting a specific well and clicking <Select TOPS File>.
