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:
Go to the Well List page.
Select the pencil icon (bottom right) - Drill Plan Import.

Select the zipped file → click Import
Option 2 – Via Email
Email the file to [email protected]
Your email address must be registered in Innova Vantage (see Section 5.0)
Email title must be: Drill Plan - API: api#
Add the word Historical if submitting a completed well e.g. Drill Plan - API: api# Historical
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:
Email all four unzipped files to [email protected]
You can add more than 4 files if you have them
Your email must be registered (see Section 5.0)
The Drill Plan for the well must already be imported
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.
Log in to Innova Vantage using an Admin account
Click the burger menu (top left)

Under Database Admin Tools, select Email Settings

Add the email addresses you will send import files from
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.
