Ecrin Guided Session #1
A01 • Ecrin overview
When installing Ecrin, you are given the choice to install it as an integrated workstation or a
stand-alone application. If the user chooses the stand-alone application option, the program
will ask which application to install (e.g. Saphir or Topaze). In that case, although the full Ecrin
suite is installed, only the chosen application is available (e.g. Saphir or Topaze) and you will
not have access to the different module selections in the 'Application – Settings' panel, or to
the usual toolbar used to switch between the modules
.
To change from a stand-alone application to an Ecrin workstation where you can switch
between the different modules, you can either select workstation at installation, or change the
choice afterwards in the 'Application – Settings' panel. If the installation choice is teh
workstation, the program will ask which module(s) to install. By default, all modules will be
installed. Here again, the full Ecrin suite will be installed but this time you will be able to switch
between different modules, and it will also allow the reading and creation of files of the
installed-module type (provided a valid license is found). If a module is installed but you do
not have the required license for it, only the reader version of the module will be available: this
is indicated in the switch module toolbar with an ‘R’ superimposed on the module icons
.
Note
: In this guided session it is assumed that you have installed Ecrin as a workstation and
have a valid license for Diamant, Saphir and Topaze.
B01 • Objectives
The objective of this document is to introduce the key features of the Ecrin software suite and
introduce you to the easy and intuitive interaction between the modules: Diamant, Saphir and
Topaze.
You will first be guided through the starting up of the project with the loading of Permanent
Gauge Data in the Data Management module Diamant. This loading step will illustrate the data
filtration and updating. Then, you will be shown how to transfer these data with ease to the
Pressure Transient Analysis module (Saphir) via different methods, to go through the
simplification steps of a complex rate history using a few clicks, and to do a partial analysis of
these data in order to highlight some of the features of the software.
Finally the data will be dragged and dropped to the Production Analysis package, Topaze, and
a production analysis and a production forecast will be performed for illustration.
