Innova Data Bridge: Importing Baker Hughes Data

1.0 - Introduction

To maximise the value of your operational data, all information must be stored in a single database using a consistent format.

As different service companies use different systems, this data often needs to be converted and re-entered manually - a time-consuming process.

To streamline this, Innova now supports importing planning and operational data exported from Baker Hughes’ Well Architect and Cadence.

This document explains how to import these files into the Innova Suite.

2.0 – Prerequisite Requirements

Before importing files, you must have:

• An Innova Server Database

• Access to Innova Vantage

• Login credentials to Innova Vantage which have Admin permissions

3.0 – Baker Hughes Data

Baker Hughes data is split into two types — planning and operations.

Important: Import the planning (Well Architect) file first, otherwise the operational data import will fail.

3.1 – Planning – Well Architect Files

Well Architect exports a single .exp file, containing well planning data (locations, CRS, elevations, targets, plans, offsets etc).

3.1.1 – Importing a Well Architect File

Well Architect files can be imported by simply sending them via email.

• Email the file to OrganizationNam[email protected]

  • Replace OrganizationName with your organization’s name as shown in Vantage.

  • To find this: Either ask your Innova representative, or open Vantage, click the burger menu, and check the organization name displayed under your email/login. You can copy and paste the organization name directly from there.

• Your email address must be registered in Innova Vantage (see Section 4.0)

• Email title must be: Well Architect

  • Add the word Historical if submitting a completed well e.g. Well Architect Historical

  • This will set the Well Status to Complete in Well Seeker

• Attach one or more unzipped .exp files

3.2 – Operations – Cadence Files

Cadence exports operational data as a single zipped folder, typically containing:

• BHA / Cost / Daily Drilling / MWD / Parameter / Summary reports (.xml)

• Survey report (.csv)

• Optional Activity report (.csv) (historical only)

3.2.1 – Importing a Cadence File

• Email the zipped file to [email protected]

• Replace OrganizationName with your organization’s name as shown in Vantage.

• Your email address must be registered (Section 4.0)

• The Well Architect file for the well must already be imported

• Email title must be: Cadence - API: api# (api# must match Well Architect file)

4.0 – Email Setup

Before importing files via email, your email address must be authorized in Innova Vantage.

1. Log in to Innova Vantage using an Admin account

2. Click the burger menu (top left)

1. Under Database Admin Tools, select Data Bridge Settings

1. Add the email addresses you will send import files from

2. For each, select the relevant import type from the dropdown list

If a file is sent from an unregistered email address, the import will fail.
