Import options tab - General

Provides the list of available data types to be imported.

Contains a list of additional data types and special conditions used during import.

• Restrict Wells by Last Update Date—Restricts the update to only those wells that have been updated since the "Last Change Date" shown on the "Wells and AOI" tab.

Direct Connect will download all selected wells from the web server, but only those wells that have been updated by IHS since will actually be imported into the project.

• Load Data Into Initial Completions Only—Petra only imports primary completions with API numbers ending in 0000. Data from other completions (0001, 0002, etc) are merged with the primary completion. For 16-character Canadian UWIs, the first 14 characters are used.
• Skip IC numbers (Load API Numbers Only)—Forces Petra to only import API numbers.
• Use NAD83 Locations (Canada only)—If your project datum is set to NAD83 or NTV2, then setting this option will read the NAD83 locations from the server. Otherwise, the NAD27 locations are automatically converted to NAD83.
• Update BLANK Header Fields Only—The following fields are updated when they are blank in the project database:
  • – Well Name and Well Number
  • – Operator and Historical Operator
  • – Lease Name and Lease Number
  • – Fm at TD
  • – Producing Fm
  • – Field Name
  • – TD and TVD
  • – Elevation
  • – Platform, Water Depth, Whipstock Depth
  • – Geol Province
  • – Directional Indicator
  • – Spud Date, Comp Date, Permit Date, Rig Release Date
  • – Abandoned Date, First Report Date, Last Activity Date
  • – Lat Lon Source
  • – Surface and Bottom Hole Lat and Lon

  This option will only change blank historical operator entries.

  • Use Lease Name as Well Name—Uses the well's lease name as the well name.
  • Store Well Name in Well Label—Stores the well name field into the well label field.
  • Build Well Labels Using Predefined Template—Uses the "Build Well Labels" default template to create well labels in the project.
  • Load Last Drilling Remark into Zone Item (WELL.DRILLREM)—By default, Petra completely overwrites the DRILLREM data item in the WELL zone. In contrast, this option only stores the last drilling remark record. Note that the entire contents of the DRILLREM item will be over written with the last remark.
  • Add CORE Remarks to Well Header Remarks— Adds core record remarks to the well remarks displayed on the main well tab.
  • Do Not Load Fm Bases—Disables loading formation base values.
  • Use Fm Top Repeats—Saves multiple formation tops for the same well as repeat tops.
  • Ignore Fm Top Source Codes— The project does not distinguish between the different HIS source codes. If two sources are present for the same top, the project will only keep the last one loaded.
  • Include Engineering Completion Detail Perfs (CANADA DB Only)— Adds "completion" records as detailed perfs.
  • Copy Production Tests Into Perfs (Gross)—uses the top and base of each production test (IP test and others) to create a perf record in the database. This can create large gross interval perfs.
  • Copy Treatments Into Perfs (Detail)— Uses the top and base of each production test treatment record to create a perf record in the database. This can create detailed perfs.
  • Set PERF Source from IHS Data Source—Adds source codes based on the data type used for the perf interval.
  • GRSPRF—Gross Perfs
  • DETPRF—Detailed Perfs
  • IPTTST—Perf created from IP or production test
  • TREAT—Perf created from prod test "treatment" record
  • ENGCOMP—Perf from Engineering Completion record
  • Load IP and DST Data with Missing Top or Base—Normally, tests without a top and base are not loaded into the project. This option brings all tests into the project.
  • Use Completion Date If Test/Perf Date is Missing—Causes each test and perf record to use the well's completion data for undated tests/perfs. All perfs imported for a well at the same time will have the same completion date, which can cause confusion when storing multiple completions in the same API number.
  • Compute LatLon From NorthEast Footage Re—only applies to area in the United States that use the "NorthEast" location criteria. The surface Lat-Lon location will be computed using NE footage locations.
  • Load Directional Indicator into Well->DIR_IND—Use this flag to store a value such as V, D or H in the Well Zone item called DIR_IND.
  • Convert Depth Values from FEET to METERS—Converts the depths from feet to meters during import.
  • Store Untranslated Well Symbol Code in WELL.ORIGSYMCODE—The raw symbol code text is stored in the Well zone item called ORIGSYMCODE.
  • Default Survey Orientation to GRID North instead of TRUE North—Normally, IHS directional survey data is oriented toward True North. Use this option to set the survey orientation flag to Grid North for all wells loaded.
  • Convert Survey Orientation to Grid north instead of True north
  • Load TD Date into ZoneItem (Well.TD_Date)
  • Produce Detailed Load Report—The report file displayed at the end of the import process will contain a very detail listing of all data imported.
