Step 4: Review Measurements and Set QA Status
-
Review Quality Assurance Calculations displayed on the Auxillariy Data Grits of the Measurements Tab:
- Count of LWD
- Count of Pebbles
- Count of Discharge Stations
- Count of Benchmarks
- Count of Aux Photos
Visits with exceptional values or subject to non-repairable data loss should be noted in the QA Notes tab (see #3 of the QA Status information page for instructions on how to add notes).
- Review graphs of key Measurement Type values listed below. These checks target metadata and values not captured in Metric Review.
