Creating a Sidetrack in ZoneVu

This article walks you through the process of creating a sidetrack in ZoneVu

Last updated on 28 Jan, 2026

When creating a sidetrack in ZoneVu, it’s our recommendation that you make a copy of the original Well for the sidetrack and delete the data back on the new Well to the sidetrack Kickoff-Point (KOP). This will preserve all the information and interpretations created during the drilling of the Original Wellbore. 

Walkthrough:

  1. Create your Sidetrack Well:

    • Navigate to the home Page and select the Well List

    • Filter to quickly find the Well you want to make a copy of

    • Right-click on the Well and select 'Copy' button

    • Give your new Well a unique UWI/API and Well Name

    • Click the 'OK' button

This will make an exact copy of the Well allowing you to delete the data back to the sidetrack KOP point.

Note: If you are using RigStream, you should make sure RigStream is pointing to the correct Well and Wellbore on the EDR Providers server.
