Enter Downhole Point or P-Data

The Borehole Manager P-Data table is used to enter numeric values which were sampled at single depth points (as opposed to depth INTERVALS) down the boreholes. This might apply to downhole geophysical measurements (gamma ray), drilling rate, etc.

The P-Data values can be typed in by hand, as described below, or imported from another source. You may leave this table blank if you have no interval data.

! This table does not accept text entries. It accepts numeric values only.

  1. Access the Borehole Manager program tab.
  2. Create a new well if necessary, or click on the existing well to be edited.
  3. Click on the P-Data table for the well.

  4. Define the data columns if necessary: You can have multiple columns in this table, for your different P-Data components; use the P-Data Types button at the top of the table (or the Project Tables | Types Tables | P-Data Types item in the Project Manager) to define these. (More info)

Once you have the data columns defined, you can enter the measurements themselves. These instructions are for hand-entering the data; please see the links at the end of this topic for other options.

There is no limit to the number of downhole points that you may list for each drill hole, though if you are creating solid models, the more points the slower the processing.
