Import comment log

Comment logs are depth-referenced text annotations attached to a well - for example lithology descriptions, drilling notes, formation tops or fluid shows. They are matched to a well by its name/UWI and displayed alongside the well logs at their reference depth.

In the Field connections check the parameters. This importer expects exactly the UWI, MD and Comment columns; additional columns are not allowed.

Note

If some of the fields are colored RED, it means that data doesn't have required type or reading parameters were set incorrectly
