Well Seeker X: Survey Correction Integration Guide

1.0 - Introduction

Well Seeker X includes an integrated feature that allows the user to download corrected surveys from four survey correction providers – Superior QC, H&P Survey Management, RoundLAB and HLB Max Survey. This document is a guide to setting up and using the integration.

For this feature to work, the user requires a stable internet connection and an actual well and survey already set up in the Well Seeker object explorer. For detailed steps regarding how to achieve this, refer to the Well Seeker X How to Guide.

2.0 - Description

1. Open the survey that you want to sync with the survey correction service. When the corrected surveys are downloaded they will overwrite what is currently in the survey sheet, so if you have multiple tabs open, make sure you are viewing the correct one.

1. Select Integrations in the ribbon menu and select MSA in the Survey Correction section.

This will open the Survey Correction Provider Settings window.

Note that MSA option will be greyed out if a survey is not open.

1. Select your survey correction provider from the dropdown box in the Provider field, then enter the username and password provided by the survey correction provider into the Username and Password fields.

1. Click on Get Wells to open the Well Selection dialog. Depending on your provider, the Well Selection dialog will look slightly different.

1. In the Select column click on the checkbox that corresponds to the desired well and then click on Update. The Sel Well Name and Sel Operator fields in the Survey Correction Provider Settings window will update.

1. Click on Sync Surveys to check if any new surveys are available from your selected provider. If there are, the user will be given the option to update the survey list in Well Seeker. Click on Yes to update your survey sheet.

   1. Note: This will overwrite any existing data in the sheet.

   2. Note: If the tie-on line for the survey is deeper than the surveys available, selecting yes will not do anything i.e. no surveys will be pulled into Well Seeker.

   
2. You can also set Well Seeker to automatically check for and sync new surveys. Change the Auto Update field from ‘NO’ to ‘YES’ and set the update rate in minutes in the Update Rate field. In order for the automatic sync to work, the survey sheet must remain open, but the Survey Correction Provider Settings window can be closed.

1. Click on Save to save your settings, and then click on the X in the top right of the window to close. To close without saving your settings, click on Cancel.

3.0 - Superior QC Only features

Some features of the Survey Correction Integration are only available when Superior QC is selected as the provider. These features are optional and are not required to perform the basic survey retrieval function.

3.1 – Auto-Get Well

If the user has an API number for the well entered in the Daily Reporting section of Well Seeker, when the Get Wells button is clicked, Well Seeker will look up the API number on the Superior QC server and automatically select the correct well.

To enter the API number in Well Seeker, select the relevant actual well in the object explorer and select Home >> Job Data.

In the Job Data window, fill in the API# field. Make sure this matches exactly with the API number entered in Superior QC. Click on Apply. Note, that if the API number is entered but does not match, then the user will still have the option to manually select the desired well.

3.2 - Check Well Data

Clicking on Check Well Data will compare the latitude, longitude, magnetic field strength, dip, declination and grid convergence values stored on the Superior QC server, with the values referenced in Well Seeker. If they do not match, a warning box similar to the image below will appear.

In Well Seeker the Latitude and Longitude co-ordinates of the well are set in Well Properties dialog for the well. Grid Convergence is automatically calculated using the well location and the mapping grid selected in the Field Properties Dialog.

Total Field, Dip and Declination are set in the Actual Well Properties dialog. These dialogs can all be accessed by right clicking on the object explorer at the relevant level and selecting Properties.
