Well View Tools: Template Edit Controls

The Template Edit Controls window is used to modify the appearance of a well template. Templates are used when displaying data in the 3D View window, Cross Section View window, and Well View window. Settings include choosing which logs to show in which track, the scale and range of data to show, and the style of the display. You can open this window by selecting Template Layout from the Edit menu in the Well View window.

There are four tabs to help you manage the display parameters—Tracks, Data, Depth, and Area Fill.

Tracks Tab

The Tracks tab is used to add tracks and adjust the scales and ranges for each track.

Add: Insert a blank row at the bottom of the table to create an additional track. Once you create a track, curves are then selected on the Data tab. Use the arrow buttons to change the order of the tracks.

Delete: Remove the selected track. To select a track, click on the row number in the left column.

Track Order: The order that the tracks appear in the list corresponds to the order they are drawn, from left to right. To change the position of a track, click on the track number in the left column and then use the arrow buttons (/) to move the row up or down in the list.

Horizontal Grid Line Spacing

Select the spacing for the horizontal grid lines being applied to the entire template.

Major Tick: Enter an interval in depth units used to draw the major horizontal grid lines.

Minor Tick: Enter an interval in depth units used the draw the minor horizontal grid lines. This works best when it is a multiple of the Major Tick value.

Grid Lines: Select which depth type to use to determine the spacing. Choose from MD (measured depth) and Elevation.

Depth Labels

Select the labeling method for the depth track.

Measured Depth: Display labels in measured depth. You can select Measured Depth as well as Elevation or Depth.

Elevation: Display labels in TVDSS. You can select Elevation and Measured Depth.
