Direct Connect well data (US & Canada)

Main: Project > Direct Connect > Import Wells from IHS Direct Connect.

The Direct Connect Tool is one of the easiest ways to import well data from IHS's well databases. With a subscription, an internet-connected computer can update the existing wells in a project or populate a blank project with wells inside a rectangular area. The end result of using Direct Connect is the same as importing a 297 file - the only real difference is that this method always has the most updated information, and there is no need to manage 297 files.

Direct Connect operates on two different databases (US and Canada, and International).

Direct Connect data includes:

Header information—includes things like well name, operator, field name, TD, and other data about the well.
FmTops—includes definition and depths of specific geological tops and other contacts encountered in the well
Completion information—includes data like casing diameters, tests, and perfed intervals

Petra loads these values into the project database by each wells Unique Well Identifier (UWI). During importing, Petra compares the UWIs in the dataset to the UWIs in the project. When Petra finds a match, (by default) it updates the well. When there is no match, Petra (by default) creates a new well.
