Plot a well trace in 3D using directional survey dataRead our JMP Blog to learn more about the value and usage of this add-in.
Requirements:
- data table with measured depth, azimuth, and inclination
- optional: well name tags
The well trace add-in will:
- Allow user to designate measured depth, azimuth, and inclination as inputs
- Calculate Delta North, Delta East, and Total Vertical Depth (TVD)
- Allow user to apply appropriate units (feet or meters, NOTE: this is a label only)
- Optional: User may enter inclination and azimuth in radians
- generate a 3D scatterplot of well(s)
- If run subsequently, user will be asked if they want to keep or overwrite the previous run's new data
- If chosen to keep the previous data, the previous data column headers will be marked "_old"




Using the Average Angle method, this add-in will calculate the Delta East, Delta North, and Total Vertical Depth (TVD) and generate a visual trace of the well using the input values of Measured Depth, Inclination, and Azimuth acquired through a directional survey. The add-in is a great resource for those in the oil and gas, environmental, or hydrologically inclined industries.

Re: Plot a well trace in 3D using directional survey dataHello @Peter_Polito, Can you please send me the program if it is free? I have a simple homework assignment to draw a single well.

Re: Plot a well trace in 3D using directional survey dataUpdated add-in with warning that opens when the add-in is initiated without a data table open, alerting the user that they will need to open a data table prior to launching the add-in.
Re: Plot a well trace in 3D using directional survey dataI've added an example dataset, @PatrickGiuliano
Re: Plot a well trace in 3D using directional survey dataHello @Peter_Polito , Looks like an incredible add-in! Would it be possible for you to provide some sample data to accompany it here?
Thanks, @PatrickGiuliano
