Well View templates and the Template Editor

The Well View can be adjusted to display any combination of wells, logs, and marker data to help you further understand your model and aid in your correlation effort. In many cases it can be advantageous to create a custom template that captures the data you frequently review. This template can then be applied to the Well View at any time to quickly and easily display this regularly used data. To manage and edit templates, two associated forms are available and are described separately: the Template Manager and the Template Editor. The Template Manager provides an interface for renaming, importing, exporting and deleting templates, while the Template Editor provides an interface for creating and editing templates.

The following section describes template creation and walks you through a set of simplified steps for template creation.

Creating a template

Templates can be created from an empty Well View or can be pre-populated with data from another template and then modified to fit your needs. Adding and customizing the display of data in your template is achieved through the use of the JewelExplorer and the Template Editor:

  • In the JewelExplorer, check the box for each well, log and marker that you want to capture in your template. As you check each box, the associated data will appear in the Well View, allowing you to immediately review the data.
  • After visualizing data using the JewelExplorer, the Template Editor is used to format the display of the data in the Well View. Right-click in the Well View and select Edit Template... from the context menu to open the Template Editor. In the Template Editor you can click the button to add a new track to the template. You can then can use the settings and options in the Template Editor to specify the log and the display settings to be used in each track of your template. As you are developing your template in the Template Editor, you can click Apply to update the view and review the display settings you have specified. If you are done creating the template, click the Save button in the Well View toolbar and provide a name for the template. See Template Editor for details on using the Template Editor.

To create a template from an empty view

  1. Open a new Well View (Views > Well View).
  2. Using the JewelExplorer, visualize the wells, logs and markers of interest by checking the item's associated check box.
  3. With the data visualized, click the Edit template button to open the Template Editor so that you can format the data. The Template Editor can also be opened by double-clicking anywhere in the Well View.
  4. In the Template Editor, adjust the settings for each log and track until you have reached your desired view. For an example of customizing your template, see Customizing the template.
  5. Click Save in the Well View toolbar and provide a name for the template. Once you have created a template, you can manage the template via the Template Manager.

To create a template based on an existing template

  1. Open a new Well View (Views > Well View). In the Template drop-down box in the Well View toolbar select the template you want to base the new template on.
  2. With the template displayed, you can begin making changes to the template via the Template Editor. To open the Template Editor, click the Edit template button . The Template Editor can also be opened by double-clicking anywhere in the Well View.
  3. In the Template Editor, remove tracks or adjust the settings for each log and track until you have reached the desired view. For an example of customizing your template, see Customizing the template.
  4. Click Save in the Well View toolbar. If the base template is one of the pre-defined templates, you will be prompted only to provide a new template name, as the pre-defined templates cannot be overwritten. If the base template is a custom template, you will be prompted to create a new template or update the base template, select Create New Template and provide a name for the template. Once you have created a template, you can manage the template via the Template Manager.
