Latitude/Longitude

Use the Latitude/Longitude dialog to view or modify the latitude and longitude values for the well.

Format 

Specify the format in which to view the latitude and longitude values.

Decimal degrees: View the latitude and longitude values in degrees with a decimal place.

Degrees minutes seconds: View the latitude and longitude values as degrees, minutes and seconds with a decimal place on the seconds component.

Locations 

Surface Latitude: The latitude of the top hole location of the well. 

Surface Longitude: The longitude of the top hole location of the well. 

Bottom Latitude: The latitude of the bottom hole location of the well.

Operations

OK: Apply any changes you have made in the dialog.  This will convert the latitudes and longitudes into the coordinate system of the project and update the locations in the main well page.  You need to have a coordinate system defined for your project in order to perform the conversions.  Coordinate systems can be set in the Project Properties application.

Cancel: Exit this dialog without making any changes.


Specifying degrees

You can type in values in either decimal degrees or degrees minutes and seconds.  You do not need to set the format in order to type in a value.  The application will attempt to automatically decipher any values you have typed in.  Directions can be specified with either an optional minus (-) sign for S and W, or with the indicators N, S, E and W. Some examples of valid degrees specifications are:

  • 45.324
  • -45.324
  • 45.324 N
  • 111 19 26.4
  • -111 19 26.4
  • 111 19 26.4 W
