Export Petra project file

Sets the location of the exported file, and the specific data to export from the project data.

Limits the some of the data included in the PPF file to data created or changed within a specific range. This can be useful for creating update files or backups.

• Restrict Wells Exported Based On Change Date of Well header Data, limits the file only to well data with a header change date inside the set range.  This change date is visible on the Main Module's Well tab.  Note that the export tool will list that it's exporting all currently selected wells, even if it is only including a small subset within the date range.
• Export Well Data Items Based on Item's Change Date, include all wells, logs, test and production data in a project. In  addition it includes all entries for all zone data items and formation tops, but these entries will only be filled with data with a change date inside the date range.  Note that the export tool will list that it's exporting all currently selected wells, even if it is only including a small subset within the date range.

Store multiple directional surveys (both real and planned) for any well.  This tool can export any or all of the directional surveys for all wells.  The Dir Survey tab sets the specific surveys exported to the file.

• Export All Surveys Available for Each Well, This option will include all surveys loaded in the project, including all active and secondary surveys.
• Export 'Active' Survey Only, This option will export only the active surveys.
• Export Selected Survey From List Below, This will export only surveys with the survey definition selected on the drop down below.

Controls a few additional options for exporting data, including encryption and memory uses.

• Encrypt Well Identifiers, PPF files are plain text files. Selecting this option encrypts the well's UWI, well name, number, label, operator and lease.  This option does not encrypt location data.
• Use Fast PPF Export, Takes advantage of “blocking” to reduce the network traffic to speed up the export. “Blocking” could be memory intensive if the block size is big and the project has too many digital logs.
