Step-by-Step Summary

1. Access the Borehole Manager program tab.
2. Select the well for which the data is to be imported, by clicking on the well's name in the borehole listing.
3. Select the File | Import | Fugro CPT | Lithology menu option.
4. Enter the requested menu information, listed above.
5. Click the Continue button to proceed with the import.

The program will read the indicated cone penetrometer data file, extract the depths and soil information, and list the data in the current well's Lithology table. In the process, the program will concatenate similar intervals such that the lithology doesn't consist of hundreds of small intervals. This process can be repeated for additional boreholes and CPT files.
