ABSTRACT:
A visualization system for a wellbore environment includes a graphics processor for creating a wire mesh model of a well and optionally a drillstring based on datasets of depth-varying parameters of the well. A graphics system maps appropriate textures to the wire mesh models, which are then displayed on a graphics display. A user interface facilitates user navigation along the length of the well to any selected location therein, and further permits user adjustment of orientation of the displayed renderings. Simulated, real or a combination of simulated and real wellbore data may be visually depicted in the wellbore at any selected location. This provides the user with a visual indication of the wellbore environment as the user navigates the visualization along the length of the wellbore.
