Innova Data Bridge: Importing Compass/Halliburton 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 Landmarks Compass.

Additional files/data can also be automatically imported into the Innova system:

  • Survey updates

  • Image files

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 files or data can be imported via email, the sender’s email address must first be authorised within Innova Vantage.

  1. Log in to Innova Vantage using an Admin account

  2. Click the burger menu (top left) and select Data Bridge

  1. In the Settings tab, add the email addresses that will be sending the files/data to the Email column. When an email has been received by Data Bridge, a processing email will be sent to the Reply To email address, followed by a completion/failure email to the Reply To email address.

  2. For each email address, select the relevant import types to be authorized from the dropdown list. Note, if the import type is SURVEY, CADENCE, WELLARCHITECT, COMPASSEDM, OPENWELLS – CASING TALLY, DRILLPLAN, or DRILLOPS ensure that the correct Survey Units are also selected.

Important: If a file/data is sent from an unregistered email address, or the actions have been set incorrectly, then the import will fail.
