Import IHS well data (297 File)

 
Main: Project > Import > IHS 297 Well Data (Fixed or Comma)…

297 files contain a comprehensive set of well information, including well header information, locations and IHS formation tops.  These tops use formation codes that combine a numerical code for the formation’s age and an abbreviation of the formation name (see the appendix for more information).  As a rule of thumb, older (and usually strati graphically lower) formations have larger numerical prefixes.

 As an example, 602TMPL is above 604SNNN.  Petra stores this information in an internal project database.

297 is one of the most common well data formats and is an updated version of the legacy PI 197 Well Export format. Generally, these files are exported from an IHS CD-ROM or database.

By default, Petra can load the directional surveys into “Actual” or “Planned”, though you can change the survey definitions with the “Survey Def Maintenance” button.
