# Innova Data Bridge: Importing Schlumberger Data

## 1.0 - Introduction <a href="#toc206749753" id="toc206749753"></a>

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**.

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 <a href="#toc206749754" id="toc206749754"></a>

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 <a href="#toc206749765" id="toc206749765"></a>

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**](https://vantage.innova-drilling.com/) using an **Admin** account
2. Click the **burger menu** (top left) and select Data Bridge

3. In the **Settings** tab, add the email addresses that will be sending the files/data.
4. For each email address, select the relevant import types to be authorized from the dropdown list. Note, if the import type is **SURVEY**, 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.

## 4.0 – Schlumberger Data <a href="#toc206749760" id="toc206749760"></a>

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.
* The API number must be entered in Drill Plan before the export file is created. This is required for any well that Drill Ops data will be imported into, as the API number is used as the common well identifier between Drill Plan and Drill Ops during the import process.

### 4.1 – Planning – Drill Plan Files <a href="#toc206749761" id="toc206749761"></a>

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

#### 4.1.1 – Importing a Drill Plan File <a href="#toc206749762" id="toc206749762"></a>

You can import a Drill Plan files in two ways:

**Option 1 – Via Innova Vantage:**

1. Go to the Dashboard page Wells tab.
2. Select **Import > Drill Plan**

3. Select the zipped file → click **Import**

**Option 2 – Via Email:**

1. Email the file to [**OrganizationName**@feed.innova-drilling.com](mailto:%20OrganizationName@feed.innova-drilling.com)
2. Replace **OrganizationName** with your organization’s name as shown in Vantage.
   1. To find this: open Vantage, hover over the user profile icon, and check the organisation name displayed under your email/login.

3. Your email address must be registered in Innova Vantage (**see Section 3.0: Email Setup**)
4. Email title must be: **Drill Plan - API: api#**
   1. Wells will be pulled in with the **Well Status** set to **Active**.
   2. Add the word **Historical** if submitting a completed well e.g. *Drill Plan - API: api# Historical*
   3. Adding Historical, will set the **Well Status** to **Complete** in the Innova system
   4. Attach a single zipped file

### 4.2 – Operations – Drill Ops Files <a href="#toc206749763" id="toc206749763"></a>

Drill Ops exports multiple **unzipped** files:

* Daily Journal as .html
* Steering report as .csv
* BHA report as .csv
* Survey report as .csv

#### 4.2.1 - Importing a Drill Ops File <a href="#toc206749764" id="toc206749764"></a>

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

1. Email all four unzipped files to [**OrganizationName**@feed.innova-drilling.com](mailto:%20OrganizationName@feed.innova-drilling.com)
   1. You can add more than 4 files if you have them
2. Replace <mark style="color:$danger;">**OrganizationName**</mark> with your organization’s name as shown in Vantage.
3. Your email must be registered (**see** **Section 3.0: Email Setup**)
4. Before Drill Ops files can be imported, the corresponding Drill Plan file for the well **must already have been imported.**
5. Email title must be: **Drill Ops – API: api#** (api# must match the Drill Plan file)
