Load raster

 

The Open raster wizard imports a well-log raster image (a scanned or digital strip log) into a well. It displays the image in an interactive crop view so the user can clip away headers, borders and margins before the raster is attached to the well.

 

 

Launching the wizard

 

In Data manager right-click the target well and choose Load raster. This opens the Open raster wizard for that well. For batch loading of rasters described by XML metadata use the Open rasters wizard instead.

 

 

Input Parameters

 

Image file — the raster to load (PNG, JPEG, TIFF or BMP).

Crop rectangle — eight handles (four corners + four edges) let the user trim the image on top, bottom and sides. Drag any handle to resize; drag inside the rectangle to move it as a whole.

 

Depth referencing

 

After cropping, the image is positioned along the well axis by setting the depth interval it covers — the MD begin and MD end values — together with the display parameters. These values tie the top and bottom of the raster to measured depth so the image lines up with the curves, markers and comments of the well.

 

For batch loading of several rasters described by XML metadata (raster filename, UWI, well name, depth ranges and calibration), use the separate Open rasters wizard instead.
