General Borehole Data

The General Borehole Data for a log includes information about the borehole number, X and Y coordinates, well symbol, text and memo information. Text and memo information can include information such as project name, location, client, date, drill method, etc. The difference between text data and memo data is that there is no limit to the length of memo data and memo data can contain rich text.

The well symbol and X and Y coordinates are primarily for use in other programs such as WinFence. However, the X and Y coordinates can be displayed in the header or footer of the log.

General Borehole data is usually displayed in the header and footer of the log. The template being used determines the location of the data. Unlike previous versions of WinLoG, the general data is now tied to the type of data in the template. This way if the template is edited or a different template is used the data will move depending upon the location within the template. For example, if the data is for the location of the borehole and in the template the location is the first line of the header. If later the template is edited and the location is moved to the third line of the footer, when the borehole log is displayed the location will show up in the third line of the footer.

To edit the general borehole data and display the Borehole Data form either:

• select the Borehole Data menu item from the Edit menu;
• right click the mouse button and select the Borehole Data menu item from the popup menu; or
• click the left mouse button inside the header or footer of the borehole log.

The Borehole Data form has three tabs that can be used to enter and edit general borehole data.
