Use the ASCII File with Header converter to add log data (from an ASCII file) to an existing Well object.
To import log data for
a well 1 Select File > Import > Well Data > Logs > ASCII File with Header to open the Add Log From Ascii File dialog box.
2 In the Well box, enter the name of the existing Well object.
3 Click to browse for the file you want to import, and then double-click the file name. The command enters the selected file names in the File name box.
4 In the Z Column name box, type the name of the Z column.
5 Clear the True z check box, if the data value in your file represents measured depth. 6 In the Property Interpolation Method box, select the method you want the
converter to use when estimating a value between two known values. 7 Click OK or Apply.

1.14.5 Importing Well Symbol Data
You can use the Well Status Symbols converter to import well symbol data for existing Well objects. Typically, symbols define the well status (gas, dry, producer, and so on). The converter reads from a file with at least two columns: well_name and symbol_type (in the command, you can indicate which column is which).
For example: Well1 Gas Well2 Dry
Notes
• If you experience difficulty importing statuses that include spaces, add quotation marks surrounding the text in your file.
• You can also edit the well status (change the symbol) for an existing well. For information, see
Part IV: Foundation Modeling, "Setting the Well Status" on page 9-10.
• For users running SKUA from the Paradigm™ Session Manager, the well status that you can set with this command includes the same list of well symbols that you can assign from the Paradigm Well Data Manager. For information about sharing well data with other Paradigm applications or setting well status in an Epos® project, see:
• Part I: Getting Started, Chapter 4, "Sharing Data with Paradigm Applications."
• Paradigm 2011 Help > Data Management and Import/Export > Well Data Manager > Assigning Well Symbols.
To import well status symbols
1 Select File > Import > Well Data > Constants > Well Status Symbols to open the Import Well Symbols dialog box.
2 Click to open the Select Text File dialog box, browse for the file you want to import, and then double-click the file name. The converter enters the selected file name in the File name box.
3 In the Well Name Column box, type the number for the column that includes the well names (matching the names of existing wells in the project).
4 In the Symbol Name Column box, type the number for the column that includes the symbol data.
5 In the Start at Line box, type the line number where you want the converter to start reading the import file.
The command issues an error message if wells listed in the file are not present in the project or a symbol listed in the file is an unrecognized type. (To see messages or errors, select View > Terminal to access the session history.)
1.14.6 Importing Well Completion Data
You can import well completion data from ECLIPSE DATA files related to an existing SGrid object. The command adds the completions to wells, if necessary, and adds the
completions to the new wells. Notes
• You can also import completion data along with CMG? or ECLIPSE production data. For information, see:
• "Importing an ECLIPSE ASCII Grid File," page 1-46
• "Importing a CMG Grid and Simulation Results," page 1-54
• "Importing Well Production Data from an ECLIPSE Binary File," page 1-101
• You can import completion data as well logs by using the column-based file wizard for importing well paths and logs (File > Import > Well Data > Paths and Logs > Column-Based
File). For more information, see "Common Process for Importing a Column-Based File" on page 1-8.
To import well completions from an ECLIPSE file
1 Select File > Import > Well Data > Completions > ECLIPSE Data File to open the Import ECLIPSE Well Completions dialog box.
2 In the Stratigraphic grid box, enter the name of the SGrid object associated with the well completion data.
3 Next to the File name box, click browse for the file you want to import (.DATA or .data files), and then double-click the file name.
4 In the Scenario name box, enter a unique name for the simulation scenario. The scenario name is useful if you plan to use the data in the Reservoir Simulation Link Workflow or the Production Data Analysis Workflow.
5 Indicate whether you also want to create properties in the associated grid to store the completion data by selecting or clearing the Create completion properties check box. (Initially preselected.)
If selected, the command adds the completion data to both the wells and the grid. If cleared, the command adds the completion data only to the wells.

1.14.7 Importing Well Production Data
You can import historical production data and simulation results from ECLIPSE files and general format, column-based files.
Note You can also import well production data (wells and well data) from CMG simulation results.
For information, see "Importing a CMG Grid and Simulation Results" on page 1-54.
