Well Tools: Image Depth Calibrator

The Image Depth Calibrator is used to associate raster logs, core descriptions, and photographs, with wells in your project, and then depth calibrate the images. These images can then be displayed in a template, and used to interpret data. To open the Image Depth Calibrator, in the 3D View window, from the Tools menu select Image Depth Calibrator.

Wells are calibrated by placing markers at specific locations and then entering the corresponding measured depth value. You can place a series of marker along the

How do I depth calibrate an image?

Click and select an image file. The image will appear in the window.
Click and select the well with which to associate the image. Note: After you save the file you can select another well, and save the same image with that well.
Double click on the image at a known depth. A red marker will appear along with a dialog box.
Enter the measured depth value of the marker into the dialog box.
Click and drag the red marker to fine tune its placement on the image.
Double click on the red marker to place the marker on the image.
Place another marker, repeating steps 3 to 7. After placing the second marker, depth markings will appear at the intervals specified by the Depth Spacing field.
Continue placing markers until the entire image has been calibrated.

How do I display the calibrated image file?

You can display a calibrated image file by adding an image panel to a well template from the Well View window.

From the Well View window, open the Template Edit Controls dialog box.
