Formations tab

 

This tab lists the formations in the database and their production stream counts.  This tab also establishes the names used in the formation-specific production streams.

The Count/Name list shows all the formations in the 298 file, and is populated after scanning the file.  If nothing appears here make sure to select the “Scan File” button on the Files tab.  Note that Petra lists the formation production data base on total number of streams.  Petra will only load the formations selected here.

FM NAME From

– This dropdown sets how the formation production streams are named.  These streams can use the standard IHS Fm Name Code, the description, the age code, or the reservoir name.

Prod Stream Name Qualifier

– This option sets the prefix or suffix used to signify the different fluid types.  By default, Petra uses O, G, W, and D to signify oil, gas, water, and days on.  Petra can set these qualifier characters as a prefix or as a suffix to the name.
