Converting CRS When Importing a Well

When you are importing a well path that uses a different CRS from the CRS you have defined for a project, Insight is able to convert it to the project CRS.

Import a well

Import a well
  1. In the Control Panel, select the Import menu.
  2. Click Well Data.
  3. Select the well path(s) you want to import and click Open. The Coordinate Reference System conversion window will be displayed.

Select the type of coordinates

Select the type of coordinates

At Type of coordinates, select Eastings / Northings if the well is using the eastings/northings coordinates or Latitude / Longitude if it is using the latitude/longitude coordinates.

Convert well CRS to project CRS

Convert well CRS to project CRS
  1. Click Convert from to select the eastings/northings or latitude/longitude CRS of the well from the standard CRS table and click OK. This is the original well CRS which will be converted to the project CRS. The CRS of the project is defined when you create a project (see Creating a Project).
  2. Click OK to process the conversion.

Note: If you are importing multiple wells at the same time, the CRS will be applied to all the wells.
