Link Incoming Wells to Existing Wells dialog box

If at least one well matches the criteria below, this dialog box opens after the import process is complete. All of the wells that meet any of these conditions are listed:

1. Wells that have multiple potential matches to existing wells.

2. Wells imported without a well identifier (for example, a *.csv file for a single well).

3. Wells with potential matches that cannot be updated because you do not have permission to access the well.

The OK button is enabled after the incoming wells are linked up and are displayed in the Linked Well (Incoming | Existing) pane. In other words, incoming wells cannot be imported unless they are linked to existing wells, or are categorized as new wells.

In this dialog box, you can:

  • Display which incoming wells are linked, and which are not, as a result of the auto-mapping process.
  • Link an incoming well to a well in the database manually.
  • Compare the production data for any two wells (one from the import, and the other from the database, or from a pair of linked wells).
  • Compare the well attributes of two or more wells (one from the import, and the other(s) from the database).

The options in this dialog box include the following:

  • Incoming Wells — lists incoming wells that have not been linked up.
  • Link — links a single well from the incoming list to a single well from the database list. After a link has been made, the two linked items are moved to the Linked Wells pane. This button is disabled if the two selected items are not compatible. For example, in an unallocated .dp2 or .298 file, a meter station cannot be linked to an unallocated well.
  • New well — this button is enabled when incoming wells are selected that are not currently in the database. Clicking this button moves the selected wells to the Linked Wells pane.
  • Ignore well — this button is enabled after you select a well(s) in the Incoming Wells pane. By clicking this button, you can exclude these wells from the import process.
  • Existing Potential Well Matches — lists wells in the database that are a potential match for the incoming wells based on the Display Link by setting. Or, if the Show all wells option is selected, lists all wells in the database. A well in this list is not updated on import.
  • Show all wells — when this checkbox is selected, all of the wells in the database are displayed in the Existing Wells pane.
  • Auto Link — clears the current linking results and restarts the auto-mapping process according to the single attribute displayed in the Display / Link by field. This button is disabled when the Display Name field is selected because the manual auto-link feature only operates on a single attribute. The Auto Link feature operates on a 1:1 basis with wells too. In other words, you cannot auto-map multiple wells to a single well.
  • Unlink — removes the items selected in the Linked Wells pane and returns them to their original locations. (If the well ID in a *.harmony file has been used for matching, it cannot be unlinked.)
  • Unlink All — removes the links for all of the items in the Linked Wells pane.
  • Reset — resets the entire dialog box to its original settings (initial view).
  • Display / Link by — displays the primary attribute used to link up wells in the auto-mapping process. It also indicates how the wells are displayed in this dialog box.
  • Linked Wells (Incoming I Existing) — lists the wells that have been linked (incoming to existing), or new wells to be imported. Wells on the left-side of this pane are used to update the corresponding wells on the right-side.
    Empty wells have only their well name set (their API, DLS, NTS, Production ID, and Well Alias Name are blank) and are listed as new wells in this pane.
  • Compare by — displays the production variables that can be plotted (one at a time).
  • Production tab — clicking wells in either the Imported Wells or the Existing Wells pane displays the production data for the selected wells. Clicking two wells (one from each of the panes), or a single well in the Linked Wells pane, displays the production data for both wells. Data from the database is displayed in black, while data from the incoming well is displayed in the color of the primary fluid. The plot is disabled when more than one item is selected in the Linked Wells pane.
  • Attributes tab — clicking wells in the Imported Wells pane displays its corresponding data in the Attributes tab. Subsequently clicking one or more wells in the Existing Wells pane displays their corresponding data in the Attributes tab.
  • Stop Import — stops the import process of wells that do not have a 1:1 mapping.
  • Cancel — cancels the current batch of wells that do not have a 1:1 mapping.
Note:    Meter stations cannot be manually linked up in Harmony Enterprise. If meter stations exist in an imported .298 or .harmony file, they are automatically brought into a project when they are imported.
