Exporting Well Data in DEX^™ Software Format

To export well data as a DEX (.DXD) file, follow these steps:

1. Select File > Data Exchange > Export from the main menu.

2. Specify a file name for the well information you want to export in DEX format and click Save. If this is the first time you have saved DEX data using the specified file name, the export is complete at this point. If the specified file exists, a dialog box opens to allow you to specify which objects you want to export.

3. Use the arrow buttons to move the desired data items into the lower list box. Single arrow buttons move the highlighted files. Double arrow buttons move all files. (Use the up arrows to remove items from the desired selection.)

4. Click OK to start the export. The data is saved to the .DXD file you specified.

Exporting a Large Number of Wells

Problems might occur when exporting a company with a large number of wells.

Wellbore Planner^™ Software Import/Export

The Wellbore Planner^™ software is a well planning application

integrated into the Landmark Geological and Geophysical visualization Unix applications. Links with the COMPASS software enable Wellbore Planner users (geologists/geophysicists) to quickly construct well trajectories with COMPASS users (drillers), with both using their own data sets. This integration reduces planning time by eliminating the paper stage in which the details of the geologist’s targets are passed to the engineer in an iterative process.

The COMPASS software can import and export data directly to the Wellbore Planner software. This route also enables selective import of OpenWorks^® software well trajectories. This type of tool enables planned trajectory or actual trajectory data to be easily shared between the engineering and geoscience disciplines.

Wellbore Planner™ Software Import

This feature allow you to import *.WBP files from the Wellbore Planner software. The file must be moved to the Windows^® COMPASS computer by FTP link.

The Import rules are as follows:

• If you are moving the data to an existing Company, Field, or Site, open them before the import.

• If you do not want the import to interfere with existing data, open a new Company. To access the File Open dialog box, from the COMPASS main menu, select File > Import > Wellbore Planner.

Select the file to import (*.WBP).

If you are importing to an existing site, a message box appears displaying the following:

If you have already chosen a site, the following message appears:

Importing file xxxx.wbp to site yyyy, click OK to continue.

If the Map coordinates contained in the Wellbore Planner file disagree with the current site, or disagree within itself, the data is still imported, but you must check it, and the following message appears:

Well xxxx has strange starting coordinates

Wellbore Planner^™ Software Export

This feature exports a file in the Wellbore Planner format for import to a geological application, such as the OpenVision^™ software. The file must be moved from the COMPASS software for Windows PC via FTP.

In the COMPASS software, open the Customer, Field, and Site of interest. Then, from the COMPASS main menu, select File > Export >

Wellbore Planner. The COMPASS software then asks the name and destined location of the export file.

DIMS^™ Software for Windows^® Survey Import

The DIMS^™ software for Windows is the Landmark Drilling and Well Services Daily Drilling and Completions Reporting System (DIMS).

Typically, the DIMS software is used at the rig site as part of a client’s daily drilling reporting procedure. Built-in links between the

COMPASS software and the DIMS software for Windows enables easy transfer of survey information from the DIMS software to the

COMPASS software to reduce survey data-entry duplication.

To access the DIMS survey import tool, open a wellpath in the

COMPASS software to which you want to import surveys. The DIMS survey import also requires an ODBC data source that you use to access the DIMS for Windows database. A database connection is the PC’s mappings of how software applications should open a database. Both the COMPASS software and the DIMS software for Windows require defined ODBC connections before the applications run. Consult your systems administrator to build a DIMS ODBC data source if one is not available.

Well

Select a DIMS well from the pull-down list. The COMPASS software populates the SideTrack list box with the sidetracks for that well defined within the DIMS software.

Sidetrack

Select a DIMS sidetrack from which the COMPASS software will import surveys. Each unique survey tool within the DIMS software for the sidetrack is displayed in the Tool Mappings grid.

Tool Mappings

The DIMS survey tools must be mapped to equivalent COMPASS survey tools. This mapping is necessary because there is no connection between them, and the COMPASS software requires a correct tool mapping to calculate positional uncertainty. You must do this for all DIMS tools before starting the import. The COMPASS software remembers survey tool mappings for future use.

When mappings are complete, click the OK button. The COMPASS software imports the DIMS data, creating a separate survey for each one of the mappings.
