Each table has different defaultrequired columns. Although all default columns are created, data does not need to bestored in all of the default columns to create the logs.Collars TableCollars tables contain location information for each borehole. The default columndefinitions include Hole ID, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Starting Depth, EndingDepth, Scale, Inclination (or Dip), and Azimuth. The data in this table can be usedfor header and footer linked text, to set the scaling parameters for the borehole view,or to specify the elevation of the well collar for depth logs. The Inclination (or Dip)and Azimuth columns can be used to calculate true vertical depth for deviated welllog displays. The collars table is also used for placing wells in a map view and forapproximating distances in a cross section view. Note that a project can have multiplecollars tables, but each borehole should be listed in only a single collars table.Depth TableDepth tables are used for depth and variable information.
