Comparison Plot
This module can be used to plot custom comparison plot for multiple analysis.
All the wells in the project can be plotted together for standardized reporting or analysis.
The data selected can be raw input or calculated in whitson.
1. Main-Plot
The main plot is created by default. It is the traditional way of accessing the comparison plot.
You can still access the old templates.
For any new templates you might want to create, we would recommend the 'Add Plot' option instead. That is why we removed the possibility of creating new templates.
You don’t have to rebuild your old templates as new plots; you can still use them as is. But the advantage of 'Add Plot' option is that you can have the well selection saved as well as the layout, with the templates the only thing saved is the layout.
2. Adding plots
Click 'Add Plot' button located in the top right corner.
2.1. General settings
Overview
-
Name: Specify a name for this new plot.
-
Owners: By default, this is the person who created the plot, but more people can also be added as plot owners.
-
Access Type: Select the type of access, which can be private (can only be viewed and edited by the plot owners) or company wide (accessible to everyone with access to the software within the company).
Groups
You can use pre-existing group tags to quickly identify and select the wells you want to include in your new plot.
Wells
To select the wells, you want to include in the new plot there are 3 options:
-
Manual: Directly check the name of the wells that are shown in the well list.
-
Search Wells and Scenarios: Type the name of the well or scenario and then click on the checkbox to select the well.
-
Filter Well List: Allows you to filter wells based on different criteria:
-
Search Wells/ UWI: To filter by well name or unique well identifier.
-
Filter on Group: To filter wells based on user-created groups.
-
Filtering Criteria: To filter wells based on a condition that a variable meets.
- Variable: Can be selected from a drop-down list, includes variables related to main well information & inputs, reservoir properties, completion metrics and well location information.
- Condition: The following conditions can be selected from a drop-down list: equal to (=), less than (<), greater than (>), less than or equal to (), greater than or equal to (), not equal to () and case-sensitive text filtering on a string variable (in). For more specific filtering, you can add multiple conditions that will be combined using AND logic.
- Value: The value associated with the condition.
-
Well Name / UWI List: There are two filtering options. You can copy and paste a list of wells in a table format (the table will automatically expand to fit the data). Alternatively, you can copy and paste a list of wells as text, separated by commas.

2.2 Editing a plot
Editing a plot allows you to adjust the five main components that define the plot -
- Data to be plotted for each well (raw or calculated information for the well),
- Axis scale (linear or logarithmic),
- Axis location (left or right) and
- Axis bounds (set manually or let the data decide).
If you have an old template that you want to use as the basis for the comparison plot, once you add a new comparison plot, your old template should be available as a suggestion on the top right 'Populate from Template', so you can always populate from there.
2.3 Layout and Design
To edit the layout and design, click 'Open Layout and Design' or Ctrl+click any plot line.
2.4 Legend
Edit the legend by clicking 'Change Legend'.
2.5 Colors
Single Plot
You can tailor the colors of your data to your preferences using default, spread, or attribute-based schemes.
2x2 Plot
Additionally, for this type of plot, you have the option to maintain color harmony by synchronizing colors across all plots.
2.6 Customize Plot
You can customize the axes title size, tick text size, legend size, legend location, grid lines and number notation clicking 'Customize Plot'.
