Direct Connect well data (International)

  
Main: Project > Direct Connect > International

The International Direct Connect Tool populates projects with well data from IHS’s international database.  Petra can either update pre-existing wells in a project or add completely new wells inside a rectangular “Area Of Interest.”  For the Direct Connect module to update existing wells, the UWIs inside the project need to match the UWIs stored in IHS’s international database.

Set a reasonable quadrant and map projection before using International Direct Connect.

All wells in Petra Project

Updates all wells stored in the currently selected project.  This option will not add new wells.

Selected UWIs in Petra Main

Updates only the wells currently selected in the Main Module.  This option will not add new wells.

Previously Saved UWI File

Updates wells from an already existing UWI file.  To use this option, select the relevant button and navigate to the UWI file with the “Browse” button.

Area of Interest

Updates wells and adds new wells inside a rectangular “Area Of Interest.”  As such, this option is probably the most useful for new, blank projects or for expanding an existing project.  To use this option, select the “Area of Interest” button and enter the latitude and longitude boundaries of the area of interest (using the WGS84 datum).

Setting an Area of Interest

Once entered, selecting “OK” returns you to the Direct Connect tool.  Petra will logon to IHS’s International Web services to count the number of wells inside the area.  In the example below, 33 wells are inside the area.

After selecting the wells, the International Direct Connect tool will display the number of selected wells.  Selecting the “Import Wells” button will import the wells directly into the project.  The Direct Connect tool imports wells in blocks of 100 wells.
