# 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 – 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)
3. Under **Database Admin Tools**, select **Data Bridge Settings**
4. Add the email addresses you will send import files *from*
5. 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.
## 4.0 – 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.
### 4.1 – Planning – Well Architect Files
Well Architect exports a single **.exp** file, containing well planning data (locations, CRS, elevations, targets, plans, offsets etc).
#### 4.1.1 – Importing a Well Architect File
Well Architect files can be imported by simply sending them via email.
* Email the file to **OrganizationNam**
* 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 3.0**)
* 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
### 4.2 – 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)*
#### 4.2.1 – Importing a Cadence File
* Email the zipped file to [ OrganizationName@feed.innova-drilling.com](mailto:%20OrganizationName@feed.innova-drilling.com)
* Replace **OrganizationName** with your organization’s name as shown in Vantage.
* Your email address must be registered (**Section 3.0**)
* The Well Architect file for the well ***must already be imported***
* Email title must be: Cadence - API: api# *(**api# must match Well Architect file**)*
