Innova Data Bridge: Importing Schlumberger Data

1.0 - Introduction

To maximize 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 Schlumberger’s Drill Plan and Drill Ops.

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 – Schlumberger Data

Schlumberger data is split into two types — planning and operations.

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

3.1 – Planning – Drill Plan Files

Drill Plan exports a zipped folder containing several files (various formats) with well planning data (locations, CRS, elevations, targets, plans, offsets).

3.1.1 – Importing a Drill Plan File

You can import a Drill Plan files in two ways:

Option 1 – Via Innova Vantage:

  1. Go to the Well List page.

  2. Select the pencil icon (bottom right) - Drill Plan Import.

  1. Select the zipped file → click Import

Option 2 – Via Email

  1. Email the file to [email protected]

  2. Your email address must be registered in Innova Vantage (see Section 5.0)

  3. Email title must be: Drill Plan - API: api#

    1. Add the word Historical if submitting a completed well e.g. Drill Plan - API: api# Historical

  4. Attach a single zipped file

3.2 – Operations – Drill Ops Files

Drill Ops exports multiple unzipped files:

  • Daily Journal as .html

  • Steering report as .csv

  • BHA report as .csv

  • Survey report as .csv

3.2.1 - Importing a Drill Ops File

It is only possible to import Drill Ops files via email:

  1. Email all four unzipped files to [email protected]

    1. You can add more than 4 files if you have them

  2. Your email must be registered (see Section 5.0)

  3. The Drill Plan for the well must already be imported

  4. Email title must be: Drill Ops – API: api# (api# must match the Drill Plan 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 Email 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.
