WellCAD 5.8 is a Windows-based software by Advanced Logic Technology (ALT) for processing and visualizing borehole geophysical and geological data, widely used in mining, oil and gas, and geotechnical industries. Key features include:

  • New Features: Enhanced fracture topology analysis, integrated header editor (replacing standalone HeadCAD), new chart types (e.g., pie charts, improved Rose diagrams), advanced depth matcher with undo/redo/reset, and improved S-wave picking with kurtosis-based algorithms.
  • Visualization: Supports dynamic charts, hyperlinks in headers, and displays for logs, curves, images, and statistical diagrams (e.g., polar, cross-plots).
  • Data Handling: Imports ASCII, Excel, LAS, and image files (BMP, TIF, JPG, PNG); offers depth management (measured depth, TVD, time); and includes tools for data editing, filtering, and interpolation.
