This video offers a comprehensive introduction to the WellCAD Basic module, guiding you through the essential functions used to build, manage, and present borehole data. Designed for both new users and those seeking to strengthen their foundational skills, the tutorial begins with the core workflow of importing LAS files and reviewing the available logs. From there, it explores the structure of the WellCAD interface, including the Explorer Bar for managing visibility, the Properties Bar for customising display settings, and the layout tools that control how logs appear within the borehole document. By gradually walking through these components, the video ensures that you gain a solid understanding of how WellCAD organises and visualises well data right from the start.

As the tutorial progresses, it demonstrates a wide range of practical operations that form the basis of everyday WellCAD work. You will learn how to adjust log scales, colours, filters, and line styles, how to reorganise logs using grid snapping and layout alignment tools, and how to integrate lithological information either through manual interpretation or by importing third-party intervals. The video also covers the import of image logs from external WellCAD documents and shows how to save and apply document templates for efficient reuse across multiple projects. Finally, it walks you through exporting a customised section of the borehole document as a PDF. Together, these steps provide a clear and methodical introduction to WellCAD’s basic functionality, ensuring you have the confidence to create clean, consistent, and professional borehole documents.
