Hey guys recently joined!

I´m wondering which azimuth to load for a directional well. Should I select Azimuth True North or Azimuth Grid North? I suspect is the later one.

Thanks,
Paula Barbosa.

Hello Paula,

Welcome to the OpendTect community!

The directional well import indeed requires the Grid North azimuth. True North support is on our to-do list, though.
I'll ask our support team to add a note about the North reference to the manual.

Regards,
Nanne Hemstra
