You can export wells for building and calibration purposes, and well-and-analysis pairs for forecasting purposes.
To export a .hmy2pip file from Harmony Enterprise to use in Piper:
1. Click the Export icon (
) in the main toolbar and select To Piper.
The Piper export wizard opens.
2. In the Welcome dialog box, read the message and click Next.
3. In the Piper Export | Export Type dialog box, click Building and Calibration or Forecasting. Note that you must calibrate your data prior to forecasting.
If you select Building and Calibration, the following data is exported: well locations, attributes, as well as rates and pressures on the effective / calibration date.
If you select Forecasting, analytical wells are exported with their paired analytical analysis / model. Each well is paired with an analysis.
4. Browse to the location where your .hmy2pip file is to be saved. Click Next
5. In the Piper Export | Select Entities dialog box, select the wells you want to export in one of the tabs (Hierarchy, Shared Groups, or Private Groups). Note that you do not see the Private Groups tab if you are using an .hldb file.
6. (For Building and Calibration) Click Export.
7. (For Forecasting) Click Next.
8. (For Forecasting) In the Piper Export | Analyses Selection dialog box, select the analyses you want to export. Click Next.
9. (For Forecasting) If more than one analysis has been paired with a well, the Piper Export | Well-Analysis Pairing Conflicts dialog box opens.
For each well with a conflict, select an analysis or exclude the well from the export by selecting from the drop-down list. Click Next.
10. (For Forecasting) In the Piper Export | Preview dialog box, review your well-and-analysis pairings. If no corrections are needed, click Export.
If you need to make corrections, click Back to return to the previous dialog box.
The Piper Export | Summary dialog box opens, which outlines what happened with the export. If you want additional information, click the View export log file link. For more information, see the example export logs.
Piper requires tubing data, so if a well in Harmony Enterprise is using a casing flow path, when the well is exported, the casing internal diameter is saved into the tubing internal diameter field in the .hmy2pip file. When imported into Piper, the well has a tubing flow path, where the tubing internal diameter is equal to the casing internal diameter in the Harmony project.
Note: Gas lift data requirements in Harmony Enterprise are different than gas lift requirements in Piper. If a well in Harmony Enterprise has a Gas Lift flow path, when imported into Piper, the well has a tubing flow path. You must set the gas lift flow path with required gas lift data inputs in Piper's Wellbore Descriptions editor. For more information, see modeling wellbores (opens the Piper help in a new window).
11. Click Done.
| Important: | If sandface pressures are not calculated in Harmony Enterprise, they are calculated for the Piper export. These calculations are not written to the Harmony Enterprise project database. |
