Select wells by well identifiers

 

This well selection criteria searches the well header data fields for matches on one or more text strings. Matches may be based on an exact match of the well data and the search string or on a partial match with the well data. Also, the search string can represent a mask containing the wild card characters "*" and "?" similar to the way DOS uses masks.

Data Field

Defines the well data fields to search, each corresponding search string, and search condition. Enter the search string for each well data item to be searched and select the appropriate corresponding search condition.

Text String to Search for

Enter the string, substring or mask to search for next to each data field to be searched.

The following are examples of mask wild cards:

* = All text

A* = All text beginning with the letter A

*-1 = All text ending with -1, e.g.,  A-1, C-1

*ABC* = All text containing the letters ABC

A?? = All 3 letter text beginning with A

ABC??XYZ = Text fields such as, ABCDEXYZ, ABC88XYZ

Conditions

·Is Equal To - Well is selected when the well data field must match the search string exactly.

·Is Not Equal To - Well is selected when the well data field must not match the search string exactly.

·Contains - Well is selected when the well data field contains the search "substring".

·Does Not Contains - Well is selected when the well data field does not contain the search "substring".

·Matches Mask - Well is selected when the well data field matches the mask wild card pattern.

·Does Not Match Mask - Well is selected when the well data field does not match the mask wild card pattern.

·String Length - Well is selected when the well data field item length is equal to (=), greater than (>), or less than (<) a particular value. The length is specified in the "Text String to Search For" field. The length can be preceded by a condition code (=,>,<) to indicate length condition to match. For example, to find all wells with API number less than 14 characters, enter "<14" in the search text field. (do not type the quotes ).  If no condition code precedes the length, then "equal to" is assumed.

Options tab

Options sets how Petra handles multiple well identifier criteria in the search.  Note that the "combine conditions" option only applies to the well identifier search, and not to the broader "Select Wells By Data Criteria" search.
