A project in Geocap can be generated generic; i.e. along its development. It is however nice to have an initial setup. The project in this text is just called Wells and logs and referred to as the project. Here is the initial setup for the project with wells and seismic lines.

The contents inside the folders will gradually be generated along its use. The example shows what this test project may look like.

Working with the project manager and setting up a project is explained in project manager introduction Geocap Projects.

Example contents of the well project

• Log display Tube and Ribbons

  Code Block
  bgColor #ffffaa borderWidth 1 borderStyle solid
  Ribbon log display X dir Ribbon log display Y dir Tube log display

These display options are used when we want to see the well logs in tube or ribbon mode, see image below.

• Log display direct mode

  Code Block
  bgColor #ffffaa borderWidth 1 borderStyle solid
  Log Display black Log Display blue 180 Log Display green Log Display pink 180 Log Display red Log Display yellow 180

These display options are used when we want a quick visualization of the well logs. The name tells which color it is using and the number which direction. All the settings are up to the user to change in a real project. The changing is done in edit mode of the command object. One can copy and paste a command object and rename it according to the settings.

• Log display interactive mode

  Code Block
  bgColor #ffffaa borderWidth 1 borderStyle solid
  Log Display interactive1 Log Display interactive2

These display options are used when it is necessary to work interactively with the log display. The interactive mode is achieved by setting Execution mode to Interactive.

Work interactively and set the parameters for optimum display. . Copy and paste and rename a proper command object according to the settings.

In general this application is tuned for displaying seismic in the background. Below is some examples of well log displays and a 2D seismic section running across that well:

• Seismic display

  Code Block
  bgColor #ffffaa borderWidth 1 borderStyle solid
  Seismic Display Seismic Display LOD

Seismic display are provided with to options:

1. Standard seismic display. It may be too smoothed to get all the details.
2. Level of detail (LOD) seismic display. A rendering technique that has different resolution according to view distance. Recommended and should be used if the graphical card supports it.

• Text

  Code Block
  bgColor #ffffaa borderWidth 1 borderStyle solid
  Text at cursor position

Edit the command object and write in the preferred text. Then place the cursor at any position. In 2D mode this is done by just right click in the screen. Then press Execute.

• Code Block
  bgColor #ffffaa borderWidth 1 borderStyle solid
  Well text at lower left

Highlight a well and Execute the command object. The text is placed at the lower left of the screen.

• Well display options
  Out of the command objects in this folder one option will be emphasized.

• Code Block
  bgColor #ffffaa borderWidth 1 borderStyle solid
  Display well and scale

Highlight a well. Then Execute the command object. It scales the well to the middle of the screen and display a red line looked upright. Especially the scaling is important so that the well will be in focus. It is equivalent to well->Zoom to Data.

To display the well in a thicker line, execute Display well linewidth 3.

• Well log image display

  Code Block
  bgColor #ffffaa borderWidth 1 borderStyle solid
  Well log image calibration

This is a command object for calibrating and display of a well log report taken from a paper. The image is read into a Generic folder. Then it is calibrated to be displayed along the well.

Read more about this in Calibration and display of well log images.

The Operation mode entry Calibration shall be checked in in order to see the command object Well log image calibration.

• Z annotation
  Out of the command objects in this folder one option will be emphasized.

  Code Block
  bgColor #ffffaa borderWidth 1 borderStyle solid
  Z annotate 100

Highlight a well. Then Execute the command object. The well line is annotated for each 100 meter. Just a quick way to display the height along the well string. The other command objects have similar functionality.

Well annotation is also found in the Log Display menu.
