Step-by-Step Summary


  1. Access the Borehole Manager program tab.
  2. Enter/import your data into the Borehole Manager, as necessary.
  3. Select the Maps | Borehole Symbols option from the Borehole Operations menu.
  4. Enter the program settings as described above.
  5. Click the Continue button to create the map.

    The program will create a 2-dimensional map of the well locations, reading the location information and symbol style from the Location table. Requested labels will be pulled from their respective data tables. Log traces, if included, will be computed from the downhole survey data in the Orientation table.

    If you requested surface contours, the program will create a grid model of the borehole elevations listed in the Locations table, or read an existing grid model, and display these elevations with line and/or color-filled contours as requested. Other map layers will be appended as requested. The resulting map will be displayed in a RockPlot2D tab in the program window.

  6. You can adjust any of the settings in the Options tab to the left and click the Continue button again to regenerate the grid model and/or map.
  7. View / save / manipulate / print / append / export the map in the RockPlot2D window.
