    WELLCAD TUTORIAL

    1. Download Software

    a) Go to the link http://www.alt.lu/wellcad.htm


    b) Go to “Downloads” option in the WELLCAD drop down menu. Alternatively, you can select
    the “Downloads” option from the SUPPORT drop down menu.
    c) Download the following free packages: WELLCAD READER and WELLCAD
    EVALUATION (ensure you have enough memory space on your computer).
    d) Both packages will be installed in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Advanced Logic
    Technology.
    e) Also download a copy of the documentation to the same directory (“Wellcad Basic” V4.3 is
    recommended for beginners) .

    2. Importing Data

    Wellcad allows you to import log data stored in various formats (e.g. *.WCL ,*TXT, *.CSV etc) and
    these can be used to create other logs as well as perform some complex analysis on the data. Before
    proceeding to steps required to import data, spend some time to read the following sections found in
    the Wellcad basic documentation:

    How to use this manual


    What’s New in WellCAD v4.3
    Book 1 - WellCAD Basics
    1.1 WellCAD Workspace
    1.1.1 Tool Bar and Title Bar
    1.2 Borehole Documents
    1.2.1 Loading and Saving Borehole Documents
    1.2.2 Creating a new Borehole Document
    1.2.3 Draft, Presentation and Print Preview Modes
    1.2.4 Document Handling
    1.3 Logs
    1.3.1 Log Types and Their Characteristics
    1.3.2 Basic Log Editing
    1.3.3 Log Settings
    1.4 Basic Document Editing
    1.4.1 Depth Axis
    1.4.2 Data Import
    1.4.3 Header and Trailer
    1.4.4 Templates
    1.4.5 Data Export
    1.4.6 Printing
    a) Start Wellcad
    b) Examples of WELLCAD documents *.WCL can be found in C:\Program Files\Advanced
    Logic Technology\WellCAD Evaluation\Samples. Use the following steps to open and
    visualize their content: File  open.
    The display can give you clues on how to best plot multiple data logs in your workspace.

    c) In order to import a single file use the following option: File  import  single file;
    substitute multiple file in place of single file when you want to import multiple files or core
    images.
    NB: Wellcad software is case sensitive to the names of files used e.g. “DATA.csv” results in
    an error message whereas “DATA.CSV” will be read with no problem. The illustration
    below shows how you can import various well logs from “5L-38 CMR.CSV”

    Click Next
    Click Next

    Click Next
    At this stage, you have the option of importing all the logs or only a few. For this exercise, import
    T12R, KTIM_TAPER and BFV_TAPER. The imported logs are shown below

    In the plot above, the KTIM_TAPER log is plot on a log scale. You can do this by selecting the
    log of interest and then selecting the following options from menu options: View log
    settingsmain settings
    3. Creating Cross plots
    Tools Cross plot

    Crossplots can also be tailored to include information of a third property such as depth.
    The axes labels and titles can be modified by using the Plot, X, and Y settings found the View drop
    down menu.
    There also exist other ways of interactively analyzing your data (e.g. cluster analysis, creating
    percentage logs, adding regression lines…etc, see section 1.8).
    4. Including annotations in your display
    See section 1.6 of Wellcad manual

    5. Saving your project

    File Save

    Note the file extension “*WCL”.
