Setting Up Master EDR Account

ERA Live leverages EDR Providers’ WITSML services to stream rig data into ERA. Most EDR providers treat the WITSML service as an “add on” service, separate from the normal online EDR viewer, so you may need to add the WITSML service with your EDR provider as a first step.

Instead of using multiple personal EDR accounts, ERA Live is designed to use a “master” EDR account for each company. The use of a master account allows for more seamless collaboration within your company since all wells are in one place. To set up a master account, contact your EDR provider to have them create a new WITSML enabled account with a name of your choosing (Ex: “Yourcompanyname-ERALive”).  Once the master account is created, have the EDR provider assign the rig lines of interest to the account. The username and password of the master account can then be used in the next steps to add it to ERA Live.
