Downloading logs from the IHS information hub

With a subscription to the IHS Information Hub, select a specific UWI or a range defined by NW and SE corners from which to download specific logs. You can also download directional surveys (if licensed) and request IHS digitize service curves.

If your subscription is transactional, GeoSyn can warn you before downloading digits from the hub to eliminate unexpected charges.

GeoSyn curves are automatically saved in .las format in the GeoSyn target directory.

To download logs from the IHS Information Hub:

1. From the File menu, select Import, and then Data Search Wizard.

The Define search range dialog box appears.

2. Click either Add Location or Add Range to display the Edit a UWI dialog box and specify the survey system and coordinates of the well(s) for which to retrieve logs.

To change your IHS Information Hub connectivity parameters or GeoSyn default directories, click Edit online configuration to display the Configuration dialog box. For network installations, hub connectivity parameters affect all GeoSyn users.

3. Click Next.

The Select data from catalog dialog box appears.

4. Click Display Layout to show the Catalog display options dialog box and configure the options with which to sort and filter the wells that appear in the above dialog box. Filter by column order (by dragging and dropping mnemonics in the display pane), row sorting, and whether wells without digital sonic and density logs or less than a certain depth appear.

A check mark () appears beside logs that will import, a cross () beside those that won't. Logs with true vertical depths and measured depths can't be selected during the same import.

5. Select the options by which to filter whether wells appear in the display pane and whether to group the overlapping portions of multiple runs from the same source.

6. Click Next.

The Define save options dialog box appears.

 

7. Select the locations in which to save downloaded files and whether to import downloaded logs into the GeoSyn model during the download. The above options are defined in the Properties: Import Defaults dialog box, which can be accessed by clicking Edit Defaults above.

If you save logs to disk and then import them into the model from disk, you can restrict the depth range.

8. Click Next.

The specified logs are downloaded from the IHS Information Hub and the results are listed in a summary report dialog box that you can save to an ASCII format file to log downloads.

9. Click Close.

If you're importing a well into a model that already contains wells, your cursor becomes a placement hand () and you click the location in which to place the well. If the well intersects a correlation, the Insert a Well into an Existing Model dialog box appears and you correlate tops in the well to place to the correlations it intersects by clicking first the top to link in the left pane and then the correlation name in the right pane. You can also click Edit to display the Top Properties dialog box and create a top in the well to place that you then link using the method above.
