Required Access Level

Account: User

Project: Owner

1 Navigate Add Data Source screen

  1. After opening the project, open the well design
  2. Open the time data dialog, click the ‘Data Sources’ tab if needed
  3. Click ‘Add Data Source’
  4. Select File or EDR as your source type

 

2 Set up EDR if necessary

 

  1. Select Provider 
  • This is the EDR Provider or the company that hosts the rig data. Examples include Pason or NOV Well Data (Totco).
  • If the provider you are looking for is not available, have your account admin[1] set it up (Instructions). 
  1. Select Operator
  • This will likely prepopulate with your company name.
  • If you have access to multiple operators’ EDR accounts, this allows you to filter down the list of options to a single operator.
  1. Select Well 
  • This is the name of the well in the EDR provider.
  • If the well you are looking for is not in the list, ensure your account admin1 has set everything up correctly. (Instructions)
  1. Select Wellbore 
  • This will likely prepopulate with your main wellbore.
  • If you have multiple wellbores choose the appropriate one.
  1. Select Log 
  • This is the actual set of data to pull in
  • The difference between the options is usually just the data resolution and how data is aggregated for lower resolutions
  • 10 second data typically provides a good balance between data accuracy and performance
    • For Pason EDRs ‘Log #2’ is typically 10 second data
    • For NOV Well Data EDRs ‘Time_10_Avg’ is typically a good option

 

3 Map the data into ERA

  1. Select start and end time
  2. Select the data channels you want to include, choose fewer data channels for better performance
  3. Ensure units are correct
  4. Click ‘Add’

4 Verify data is coming in

  1. Navigate to the Segregation screen
  2. Wait a few seconds and ensure data starts showing up on the plots
    1. Should see the data necessary to determine subop boundaries first
    2. Once all of the data starts coming in, the data will be binned and sent to the correct subops
