There are a few importing options that are common to different importing methods. These tools are designed to improve the importing of imperfect datasets and to manage how overlaps between the database and the imported file are treated.
- Selected Wells vs. All Wells - Petra generally only updates the wells selected in the Main Module. Before importing anything, make sure you verify which wells are selected.
- Formation Substation Files - A formation substitution file converts formation top names in the data file to a user-set name.
- Elevation Code Translation Files - An elevation code translation file converts non-standard elevation codes to standard elevation codes that Petra can read.
- Add New Wells and Update Existing Wells - Add New Wells creates new wells when the imported data has a UWI/API code that is not in the Petra database. Update Existing Wells overwrites the project database with the imported data.
- Locking and Unlocking Data Fields - Petra can selectively lock data items and fm tops. Data inside locked fields cannot be changed at all, including by manually overwriting the field, performing a calculation, or with importing new values.
- Protecting Data Fields - Petra can selectively protect data items and fm tops. New data will not overwrite a protected field during import. In contrast to a locked field, protected fields can be overwritten by manually typing in new values or through calculations.
