WellCAD supports the import of AppleCore ASCII outputs. Open the File >
Import > Single File menu and select the AppleCore Ascii Files (*.ascii) extension.
Ensure your file has the extension *.ascii. Select it and click OK. The file import
dialog opens next and provides the following options:
Merge consecutive data: If marked consecutive intervals of equal data will be
imported as a single large interval. E.g. if consecutive beds of the same lithology are
imported they will be imported as a single lithology interval.
Header: Select the header file (*.WCH) that will be attached to your new borehole
document. If the title of the dynamic text field matches the header mnemonics at
the beginning of your ASCII file (e.g. DAT or LGR) the corresponding information
will be loaded into the WellCAD header.
Template: Specify the template file (*.WDT) that will be applied to the imported
data. Ensure the pattern and symbol libraries included in the template contain the
codes imported from your AppleCore file.
The DLIS file format is a proprietary file format of the API (American Petroleum
Institute). Refer to “Recommended Practices for Exploration and Production Data
Digital Interchange” API Recommended Practice 66, V2 Second edition, June 1996
for further details of their file format. To use DLIS file import facilities, you must
own the WellCAD LIS import add-on module.
To import a DLIS file open the File menu and select Import > Single File. From
the File Open dialog box choose the DLIS file type (*.DLIS).
A DLIS file may encapsulate multiple logical files. WellCAD scans the DLIS file to
find all logical files and prompts the user to select one if multiple files are contained.
Afterwards the Import DLIS header dialog opens allowing the selection of a
WellCAD header form to match the DLIS header key words.
