A Well Plan is the pre-drill planned trajectory (MD/INC/AZI) for a well — imported the same way as actual survey data, and plotted alongside it on the GeoSteering cross-section so you can compare planned vs. actual path.
This flow is nearly identical to Import Survey (Trajectory) Data — same wizard, same column-mapping mechanics, same header fields. The differences are called out below rather than repeating everything.
Where to Import a Well Plan
-
Open a project and go to the GeoSteering tab.
-
In the left data/objects panel, find your well's node, then its Well Plans node.
-
Click the + (create) button on the Well Plans node to open Import Plan.

Existing plans appear as children of that node with a ⋯ menu offering Property and Delete. Note: as of this build those two actions aren't wired up yet (clicking them currently does nothing) — there's also no working Edit or Set Active yet, so once a plan is imported, re-running Import Plan is the only way to add another.

The wizard has three steps: Import Plan → Review Mapping → Confirm Import.
Step 1 — Import Plan (choose your source)
Identical to survey import:
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| Drive | Pick a file already stored in GeoMaster Drive |
| Upload | Upload a new file from your computer |
| Blank Spreadsheet | A grid pre-set with MD, INC, AZI columns |
Click Continue to move to mapping.
Step 2 — Review Mapping
Same as survey import: file info, row summary, warnings, and the column mapping table (File Column → Mnemonic → Source Unit → Warning → Ignore). The same survey header fields apply here too:
-
Grid Convergence / Magnetic Declination — shown depending on whether you mapped a true- or magnetic-azimuth column.
-
Tie-In — toggle to enter MD/TVD/East/North and tie the plan into a reference point.
The one thing missing here compared to survey import: there's no Import Mode selector. A plan import doesn't ask how to combine with existing data — see Step 3 for what that means in practice.
Click Continue to run a dry-run and move to confirmation.

Step 3 — Confirm Import
-
Title (optional) — name this plan.
-
Errors / warnings recap.
-
Data preview table — read-only grid of the rows to be imported.
No mode recap and no before/after row counts appear here — since there's no mode to choose in Step 2, there's nothing to recap; you just get the straight data preview.
Click Import to commit. A "Import completed." toast confirms success, and the plan appears under the well's Well Plans node and on the cross-section.

Quick Comparison with Survey Import
| Survey (Trajectory) | Well Plan | |
|---|---|---|
| Steps | 3 | 3 |
| Source tabs (Drive/Upload/Blank Spreadsheet) | Yes | Yes |
| Column mapping table | Yes | Yes |
| Grid Convergence / Magnetic Declination / Tie-In | Yes | Yes |
| Title field in Confirm step | Yes | Yes |
| Import Mode selector | Yes | No |
| Mode recap / before-after counts in Confirm | Yes | No |
| Edit existing item from the sidebar menu | Yes | Not yet wired up |
Import Formation Tops
"Tops" are named depth markers, formation boundaries, plotted on the GeoSteering cross-section. One top can be flagged as the Sweet Spot (your target zone).
Editing
This covers the "Editing" group of the GeoSteering toolbar: tracks, and a few buttons worth knowing the real status of before you go looking for them.
