When I use the ruler tool on Petrel, it is displaying weird distance measurements. For instance, it is showing ~5 meters for my seismic profiles that are actually ~10 kilometers long. What could be causing this?
It is likely a problem with the CRS. Especially if the data is WGS 84 referenced. You may need to transform your CRS. I assume you choose a UTM based CRS. This happens alot with data from New Zealand and the US.
