Deviated Wells 7-1

Overview
Building and formatting deviated sections is the same as for standard sections. This section deals with the
differences between standard and deviated section displays.

Data Preparation
Wells containing deviation data may be displayed in Section, providing certain logs existcheck the
Reference set of each well. The X-offset, Y-offset and TVD (as well as the depth log) must all exist (see the
documentation on Wellpath for information on generating these logs).
Unlike standard wells, to view well deviation in Section, there MUST BE a line of section and the wells
must be projected onto it. Additionally, Well Top and Well Bottom are the only valid Spacing options
available to display the section.

Defining Lines of Section


As with standard wells, sections for deviated wells can be defined either graphically in Geologs Project
applicationsee "Graphically Defining a Line of Section for Deviated Wells" on page 7-3, or spatially in
Sectionsee "Spatially Defining a Line of Section for Deviated Wells" on page 7-6.

Graphically Defining a Line of Section for Deviated Wells


Graphically defining lines of section is done in Geologs Project application.
To graphically define a section for deviated wells
1. In Project, open a Mapsheet and display the deviated wells.
2. Select Format > Well Posting... and:
toggle on the Spider Deviation display
The Spider display traces the path of the deviated wells as a surface projection and is useful
in determining the best position of the line of section. See Posting on page 2-13 for further
information.
change the Position to Bottom of Well
As the wells are often deviated from a central surface borehole, it is useful to display the
wells at the well bottom to make it easier to select each well to project. Both the well symbol
and well name will then be posted at the XY position of the bottom of the well, which should
space out their display on the map. Click on the well symbol or well name to project the well
onto the line of section.
By default, Geolog projects the wells perpendicular to the line of section. If this is not
possible, the projection will be adjusted to intersect the closest end of the line of section. Readjust the projection by dragging with the middle mouse button, ensuring the pointer is
exactly over the projection line. Zoom in, if you have difficulty selecting points or lines.
3. See Graphically Inserting Sections on page 3-5, Modifying Section Lines and Projections on
page 3-10 and Deviated Wells on page 2-16 in the Mapsheet documentation for further
information on inserting and modifying sections, and projecting/snapping wells to a line of
section.
Fig. 1 is an example of a line of section inserted for deviated wells.
As the angle, position and proximity of the line of section and projections to the wells determines the final
deviated display, it may be necessary to experiment with different lines of section and projection positions
to optimize the final result.

NOTE See Well order on page 3-13 and "Examples of Graphically Defined Sections for Deviated
Wells" on page 7-4 for information on how the wells will be displayed in Geologs Section
application.

Examples of Graphically Defined Sections for Deviated Wells


The length of the line of section, position of the projections on the line of section, and order in which the
projections were inserted will determine the display when a line of section is opened in Geologs Section
application. Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show examples of line of section lengths and projection positions, and their
resulting display.

Spatially Defining a Line of Section for Deviated Wells


NOTE It is recommended that the section datum, spacing, layout, correlations, border and grid are
defined PRIOR to turning on deviation display in Section (see "Display Deviation" on
page 7-8).
Inserting and formatting segments, faults and fluid contacts is not available when
Deviation display is toggled ON (see "Display Deviation" on page 7-8).

Specify Layouts and Spacing


1. Select Format > Spacing...
2. Set the Spacing Option to WELL_BOTTOM.

3. Specify the deviated wells, layout(s) and set any other required optionssee Spatially Defined
Sections on page 2-13 for detailed information.
4. Select Section > Datum... and set the options in the Datum on page 1-9 dialog box as follows:
Reference:set to Elevation(TVD); other references that can be used are TVT, TST, TIME and
TWTIME.
Datum:set to Elevation(TVD) for structural cross sections.
Reference Grid Incrementsremove all values (set to blank) to simplify the display.
Fig. 4 is an example of a section display with a layout, spacing and datum options set.

Insert Correlations
Correlations and interpreted geological surfaces are inserted in deviated wells using the same procedures
as those described in Working in Correlation Mode on page 3-1 and Working in Interpretation Mode on
page 4-1.
Following are some suggestions for simplifying the process:

Inserting and formatting functions for correlated and interpreted segments, faults and fluid
contacts are not available until the deviation display has been toggled OFF (Format >
Wellbore...).

Select View > Layout Transparent and toggle off the transparency to provide better visibility
of the logs.

Fig. 5 is an example of a section with correlations inserted.

Display Deviation
Deviation display is by default turned off (set to vertical) in Section.

NOTE The following logs must be in the Reference set in order for the cross section to display
properly: DEPTH, XOFFSET, YOFFSET and TVD.
To display deviations
1. Select Format > Wellbore to display the Wellbore dialog box.

box).

Deviation display is toggled ON.

Format the Display


See Formatting the Display on page 6-1 for information on how to change the appearance (e.g. grid lines,
margins) of the section display.

Using Shallow Suppression


Where deviated well cross sections contain a number of wells with the same surface location, Shallow
Suppression can be used to hide the display of all but one well from the top of the display to a specified depth
limit. This is useful, for example, in offshore fields where an initial depth is not relevant to cross sectional
analysis.

Deviated Wells 7-10

To set Shallow Suppression options


1. If required, toggle on Layout Details (View > Layout Details).
2. Determine the depth to which you wish to limit the display of the wells.
3. Select Format > Wellbore.
4. Enter the name of the well you do not want to suppress in the Well to Draw field (see Fig. 7).
5. In the Limit field, enter the value to which you wish to suppress all other wells. This value is
relative to the Reference Datum on page 1-9 setting [e.g. Depth, Elevation(TVD)].

Set to create Shallow


Suppression display.
