Chapter 4 part1.

In this chapter we will load well data needed for the project which are

1.well heads data

2.well logs data

3.event data

4.production data

5.comment log data

6. Tops data

Well heads

Start petrel an safe you project

Now you have plain project .

The first thing you need to do is load you well heads data

The following data is a must

1. Well name

2. X-coordinate

3. Y-coordinate

4. Kelli bushing
5. Bottom depth

6. Well Deviation.

For this project i skip deviation but will give you short description

All data mentioned above are well know . I want to keep you attention on kelly bushing

kelly bushing or rotary bushing is fn adapter that serves to connect the rotary table to the kelly.

But in petrel this is altitude or sub sea true vertical depth (SSTVD) of rotary table

Why rotary table not well head ?? The main reason that you make logging form rotary table and
measure depth(MD) from the table. Kb and well deviation then used to convert your MD values to
SSTVD values.

I supply the file with small macro for you is the main task to analysis it as i will use this file in my next
examples

Note . In order to make the button working you need to enable macros in you excel do the following

http://www.dds.ca.gov/WorkServices/docs/DS1964MacroInstructions.pdf

in the excel file you have all data needed so press the button

After pressing the button the will be file in the directory where you place excel file

This is text file with all the data needed to load your well heads

Return to your input window in Petrel



Wright click and choose import to the tree

 p

You will be taken to petrel import window



if you open file type window you will see the list of formats that supported by petrel

Note: there two major types of format ASCII and binary try to use ASCII format when taking or giving
data as you can read data in this format.
From drop down menu choose well heads

and choose our file heads.inc

Petrel red the file and show dialog

As i used headers i old petrel the data i use in text file . But if you are not use headers you can do
manual assign of columns in the file

Press cancel and do the following

Open in test editor file heads.inc



delete 3 first rows save and close the file

Now repeat opening of well heads

this is standart window if you are not using headers or yor headers corrupted

So now lets make manual load

Press left button of your mouse and select all colums and press remove button . Now click 5 time on
add button
You will get following window

Now from drop down menu tell petrel what each column means
Keep in mind this option. It says to petrel how p
many rows it should skip during reading of file in this case
7 not 9 change it to 7 and press ok for all

Now you get well folder with your wells

Click and launch new 3D window here

 p

Select all wells by pressing to wells

To change appearance of you wells double click on well folder and you will be taken to well global
settings window
In Style window you can change appearance of wells
p
Now lets go to the menu we have under well folder.

There 5 subfolders under wells

1. Global well logs

2. Global completion

3. Well attributes

4. Well filters

5. Saved search
Global well logs - folder were petrel process and store well logs

Global completions - folder were petrel stores completion or event data like perforations, casings
diameters, plugs etc.

Global observed data - folder where you can store production o volumetric data like oil gas water rates
and injections.

Well filters - define and store of custom well filters

Saved searches - folder to save create search of wells

This is end for now ..........................
