WellCAD Basics - Advanced Logic Technology

Enabled when data
overlap must be handled
Force creation of new log
with data sets combined
For overlapping area use:
BOOK 1 - WELLCAD BASICS - 111
Merge Logs dialog box
The merge option in general allows combining the data of two logs (e.g. the data sets
of two logging runs covering different depth intervals). Three options are provided
if the depth ranges of the logs overlap. The data of Log 1 could be used in the
overlapping area, the data of Log 2 could be used or average values from Log 1 and
Log 2 could be inserted. If no overlap can be detected this option is grayed.
Merge options:
If the Output as a new log is not checked, all data will be transferred from Log 2
to Log 1 if Log 1 has been selected first and Log 2 selected afterwards. Therefore
the order of log selection is important. Log2 will automatically be removed from the
document.
If the Output as a new log is checked a new log will be created hosting the new
combined data set. Log 1 and Log 2 will stay unchanged.
Since WellCAD v4.3 it is also possible to import data files or entire WellCAD
documents (WCL files) into an active borehole document. Details about this feature
have already been explained in chapter 1.4.2 Data Import. During the import you
can decide to create a set of new logs or to merge data automatically where log type
and log title are the same.
1.4.4.3 Applying a Template to an existing Borehole Document
This method of applying a template rearranges the layout of an existing document
and adds additional logs if the user wants to. Unlike for the creation of a new
Borehole Document from a template, header and footer forms are not loaded from
the template and stay unchanged.
