New:This will delete all of the points currently in the table of points and give you a blank table to begin planning the well.

Load Well:This allows you to load the directional survey from an existing well.

Load File:This option allows you to load data from a columnar ASCII file.  You must define the X and Y columns, and possibly the TVD or Time columns in order to bring the data in.

Save Well: This will allow you to save you well path to a new well or overwrite an existing well.

Save File: This will save the current well path to a tab delimited text file.

Load Time/Depth from Horizon:This will set either the Time or the TVD columns from a selected horizon (depending if the horizon is a time base horizon or a depth based horizon).

Load Depths from Grid:This option will set either the TVD column from a selected subsea depth grid. The elevation must be set and the displayed depth units must equal the units of the depth grid.

Convert Time to Depth via Velocity Curve:This will calculate the TVD values, using the time values selected and a the active velocity curve for a well.

Exit: This will close this application.

Add Point:This will add a new point. You can edit the X, Y, Time and TVD columns at any time.

Delete Point: This will delete the current selected point. To delete all of the points, select the New option under the File menu.

Move Up: This will move the current selected point up one row in the grid.

Move Down: This will move the current selected point down one row in the grid.

Always On Top: When checked on, this will make the Well Planning dialog stay on top of other open windows.

Depth Display Units:This controls how any depths are displayed, either in meters or feet. Changing this will not effect the surface units, which will always be in the surface units that are set for the project.

Well Planning Help:This will display this help file.

About Well Planning: This will display the version, the author and the modified date of this application.

Add:Use this button to add an additional point. It inserts the new point at the bottom of the table. Use the Move Up () and Move Down () icons to position the new point as desired.

 Delete: Use this button to delete one or more points. Any selected point will be deleted.

Move Up: Use this button to move a selected point higher up in the order of the list of points.

Move Down:Use this button to move a selected point lower down in the order of the list of points.

Elevation: The elevation that will be used to convert depths to subsea. It is used when converting time to depth using a velocity curve, when loading a subsea depth grid, when saving a well to the database, and when calculating the Subsea column. It is also used when picking depth points from a depth seismic volume in the Seismic Viewer application, since depths are picked in subsea in those applications. The elevation defaults to the seismic depth datum of the project being used. Note: If modifying an existing well plan, this should be changed to the KB of the well to ensure the subsea values are calculated correctly.

X:The X coordinate of the point.

Y: The Y coordinate of the point.

Time: The time of the point. When selecting points off of the Seismic Viewerand viewing a seismic line in time, this column will be filled in. You can also fill in the time column using the Load Time/Depth from Horizon option, if you selected the points off of the Basemap.

TVD: The true vertical depth of the point. When selecting points in the Seismic Viewer and viewing a seismic line in depth, this column will be filled in. You can also fill in the depth column if you already have values in the time column using the Convert Time to Depth via a Velocity Curve option.

MD: The measured depth, or the distance along the well bore of the point.

Subsea: The subsea value of the point, using the specified elevation.

X Offset: The X offset from the first point.

Y Offset: The Y offset from the first point.
