Tips
RockWorks15: Unwinding Horizontal Logs

RockWorks15 offers both 2D and 3D visualization of your horizontal logs. For wells that double-back on themselves, there is a handy "unwind" tool which prevents overplotting.

For example, here's a 3D view of a deviated hole that twists around:

RockWare Software: RockWorks15 horizontal logs

Consider the view of this log in 2D, when projected onto any 2D plane - the log data is plotted on top of itself.

Using the "unwind" feature, RockWorks will unfold the log from left to right for a clear display.
