Create a Project

A Project in GeoMaster is built on top of a single wellbore. Creating a project is really "pick (or create) a well and wellbore, then GeoMaster spins up the workspace for it" — there's no separate project-details form to fill in.

Where to Create a Project

Two entry points, both opening the same Create Project dialog:

1. Dashboard — click the New Project tile at the front of the Recent Projects strip.

2. Projects page (/projects) — click New Project in the top-right of the page header.

---

Step 1 — Select or Create a Well

The dialog opens with the instruction "Select a well to associate with your new project."

If you have no wells yet: you'll see an empty state — "No wells yet. A project requires a well. Create your first well and you'll be taken straight back here to continue." — with a Create New Well button. Clicking it opens the same Create Well form covered in the "Create a Well" doc; once saved, you're dropped right back into this dialog with your new well ready to select.

If you already have wells: you'll see a searchable well picker instead:

• A Search wells box at the top filters the list as you type.

• A + New Well button next to the search box lets you add another well without leaving the dialog.

• Each well in the list shows its name, owner/operator company, and a Private/Public badge.

• Click the small map-pin icon on a row to expand an inline mini-map showing that well's location.

• Click a well (or its radio button) to select it.

---

Step 2 — Select a Wellbore

Once a well is selected, GeoMaster looks at its wellbores:

• Exactly one wellbore — it's selected automatically, and a note confirms: "This well has one wellbore — '<name>' wellbore was selected automatically." No extra action needed.

• Multiple wellbores — a list appears: "This well has multiple wellbores — pick one." Click the wellbore you want to build the project on.

---

Step 3 — Continue

Click Continue at the bottom of the dialog (it stays disabled until a wellbore is selected, one way or another).

• GeoMaster creates the project against that wellbore and shows a success toast: "Project has been created successfully."

• You're taken directly into the new project's workspace at its URL (/projects/<id>) — no intermediate confirmation screen.

---

Landing in the Workspace

The new project opens straight into its workspace, with a collapsible icon sidebar on the left:

Since the project was just created, most of these will be empty until you import trajectory/log data — that's a separate step, not part of project creation itself.
