1.3.1.21 Engineering Log<br />

Description:<br />

BOOK 1 - WELLCAD BASICS - 33<br />

The Engineering Log can be used to show construction and completion details of a<br />

well. Logs can be presented side by side to depict a diary of construction or drilling<br />

events. Objects such as different casing, cementation, gravel pack, water and more<br />

can be combined and displayed.<br />

Four different kinds of symbol classes are supported:<br />

- Drill Items, they are characterized by a top depth, bottom depth and an external<br />

diameter. They present the drill hole itself.<br />

- Solid Items, these are cylindrical items which occupy a volume in the borehole<br />

(such as a packer). A top depth, bottom depth, an external diameter and a radial<br />

position within the hole describe them.<br />

- Hollow Items are cylindrical and occupy a volume in the borehole with an<br />

internal space that can be filled with any other liquid or solid item. A typical<br />

example is a casing. A top and bottom depth, an external diameter, an internal<br />

diameter and a radial position in the hole characterize hollow items.<br />

- Liquid Items fill all accessible borehole volume within a given depth range from<br />

a given injection point (e.g. cement or water). A top depth, bottom depth,<br />

injection point and radial position describe liquid items.<br />

Data Format:<br />

Item, TopDepth, BottomDepth, Position, External<br />

Diameter, Internal Diameter, Injection Depth<br />
