Import Options dialog box

This dialog box is used when you import well data from a database.

Updating Data Options

The Updating Data Options section displays the global Updating Data settings from the Options dialog box.

To change these settings for the current database import, select from the drop-down lists and click Finish.

Production Data

The Production Data drop-down list has the following options:

Append — adds new production data after the end of the existing production history
New — adds new production data for any dates that do not exist in the current production history
Overwrite — adds new production data and replaces production data for any dates that exist in the current production history. When this option is selected, additional options are displayed below. You can choose to overwrite the entire production history, or only the last 90 days.

Attributes & Properties

The Attributes & Properties drop-down list has the following options:

Discard — does not import attributes and properties for existing wells
New — adds new attributes and properties when data did not previously exist
Overwrite — adds new attributes and properties, and replaces existing values with newly imported ones

Analysis Data

The Analysis Data drop-down list has the following options:

Discard — does not import analyses
New — only adds new analyses
Overwrite — replaces existing analyses when matched with imported ones, and adds new analyses

Tip:

If you are importing decline analyses from an Aries database via the Database Connection wizard, you may want to adjust your default settings, especially if your default settings include the Discard option.

Wellbore

The Wellbore drop-down list has the following options:

Append — adds new wellbore configurations
Discard — does not import wellbore configurations
Overwrite — adds new wellbore configurations, and replaces existing configurations with newly imported ones when the dates match

AutoCalc Options

To automatically calculate sandface pressures during the import, ensure the Autocalc Options checkbox is selected. Note that calculating sandface pressures can take a considerable amount of time (depending on the number of wells and their complexity).

Auto Import

To schedule automatic well updates using the Windows Task Scheduler or command line, click the Auto Import box.

For more information, see Windows Task Scheduler and command line.
