ResInsight lets the user create new/custom well paths by clicking in the 3D view. A self created well path will behave the same way as an ordinary imported well path.
Building a multilateral well path
Well targets property editor fields:
Well Targets Appearance
Controls the visibility and appearance of spheres at well target locations in addition to 3D interaction handles. The 3D interaction handles will be visible only when the Well Target object is selected, but the spheres will be always be visible if enabled.
Well Targets
List of all defined well targets. The editor will have a contrast background color when in picking state.
A well path defined by well targets may be edited by either editing coordinates in the property editor or clicking and dragging targets in the 3D view.
Clicking and dragging the blue part of a target, it can be moved along the Z axis only. Clicking and dragging the magenta part of a target, it can be moved freely around.
When the well target handles are active in the 3D view, the following operations are possible when pressing left mouse button on well target handles:
User Interaction | Description |
---|---|
Mouse Move | Modification of a single target |
Mouse Move + CTRL | Modification of all well target on selected well (laterals excluded) |
Mouse Move + CTRL + SHIFT | Modification of all well targets (laterals included) |
The toggle Generate Target at Sea Level is on by default. If the well path is supposed to start at a predefined location at the sea level, the following procedure can be used:
A well plan can be displayed by selecting Show Well Plan from the right-click menu of a generated well path.
