Entering Well Log Data

Begin by clicking the "Well Completion" tab on the main screen. Data will be entered directly on this tab, as shown below.

Up to five casings may be displayed on a log. Data for each casing are entered by using the pulldown menu to select which casing is being defined.

General

Installed: Check this box if the casing is installed.
End Cap: Check this box if an end cap should be drawn at the bottom of the pipe on the log (draws as a solid line). If unchecked, the casing will be drawn "open" at the bottom.
Well Box: When checked, a simple well box will be drawn above ground over the top of the well.
Casing Depth: The depth to which casing was installed, entered in log units below ground surface. This is required.
Top of Casing Elevation or Stickup Height: Only ONE of these values should be entered. If the elevation of the top of casing is entered, it will be compared to the surface elevation entered to determine the amount of stickup. If the stickup height is entered, that amount of pipe will be drawn above the surface on the log. If there is a stickup, the log may be shifted down (see the General Information section for more details on shifting the log).
Protector Height: If a protector was installed, enter the height here. As with stickup, you may want to shift the log down.

Slotted Intervals

Define the slotted intervals in the casing here, based on depth below ground surface. Only the intervals within the "top" and "bottom" entered will be drawn slotted. Multiple slotted intervals may be defined.

Backfill

Enter the backfill used in this section. Note that the depths are relative to the ground surface, and both the top and bottom are required. Only defined material types are available. If an undefined material is entered, that area will be blank when printed. For information on defining new material types, see the Editing Materials section.

Labels

These labels will be printed in the "Remarks" column and may optionally point to a specific part of the well log.

Pipe 1-5: Points to the center of the specified casing.
Left Fill: Points to the center of the fill on the leftmost side of the log.
Center: Points to the center of the well.
Right Fill: Points to the center of the fill on the rightmost side of the log.
Right Edge: Points to the right edge of the well column.
Pipe 1-5 (side): Points to the right side of the specified casing.
No Arrow: No arrow will be drawn.
