About Data Manager

Data Manager enables you to download curves, rasters, and directional surveys from the IHS Information Hub Direct Connect and, if configured, from your database of proprietary logs. Data Manager supports UWIs for Canadian wells and US API format for US rasters.

Select your area of interest and file processing options, then either download all of the items available within that area, or display the digital curves or rasters in a catalog to refine your selection before downloading.

Curves are downloaded in version 2.0 Log ASCII Standard (LAS) or version 2.0 OpenWorks® format. Directional surveys are downloaded in GeoFrame®, GeoGraphix®, or OpenWorks formats. Rasters are downloaded in TIFF format. Most geophysical applications import these file formats.

After you download the files, view them using Data Manager, or a third-party application.

You can view a list of public curves that haven't been digitized yet, and request that IHS digitize them.

The following defines key functionality available from the navigation tree:
