Completion Header

With well header information already imported or entered, the completion header is the next data type to import or enter. The only required field for the completion header is the Observation Number, which must be a unique positive integer. You cannot have duplicate observation numbers.

Observations typically correspond to separate well completion events that happen over time, such as initial completion and workovers.

To manually enter completion header data, click Insert to add a row, and then enter (or select) a value for each field. If the value you enter is not valid, the cell is outlined in red. A tooltip explains the error. For general editing rules and tips, see Entering and editing data.

To import the data by file see Importing data.

Although most fields can contain any alphanumeric string, the standard definitions for the other fields in the completion header are the following:

Service Company	The service company who executed the completions.
Formation	Name of the stratigraphic unit
Completion Date	Start or effective date of the well completion. You can enter the date in any form, but it is converted to mm/dd/yyyy.
Start Depth	Measured depth from the surface to the top of the well completion
End Depth	Measured depth from the surface to the bottom of the well completion
Completion Type	A code identifying the type of completion; for example, perforation, open hole, gravel pack, or combination.
Completion Method	The type of aperture through which the fluid entered into the tubing.
Perforation Status	Standard status entries are Open, Closed, and Undetermined
Perforation Shots	The number of perforations shot through the casing wall and cement.
Report Seq No	A sequence number referenced by U.S. legacy products identifying the chronological order of completion interval events within the well
Interval Type	Typically an indication if the completion interval is the gross completion interval (the shoe of the last cemented casing to the total depth of the borehole).
Activity Seq No	A sequence number to track the well events in a chronological order.
