Diamant Guided Session #1
A01 • Introduction
Diamant is the Data Management module of Ecrin. The objective of this session is to illustrate
the key features of Diamant in its application to Permanent Gauge Data. You will be guided
through the startup of a project and the loading of Permanent Gauge Data; the loading will
illustrate the data filtration based on wavelets, and the data dynamic updating.
This session is actually the first part of the Ecrin Guided Session #1. If you have a Saphir and
a Topaze license, you may extend the present session by joining the EcrGS01 at section D01
when you are finished. This will illustrate the overall workflow using the Ecrin integrated
environment to transfer data, technical object, and models between the data and analysis
modules.
A01.1 • Requirements
Two data sets for this session are stored in a zip file named 'EcrGS01_v412.zip' which can be
downloaded from the KAPPA site - use the WEB menu in the main menu bar of Ecrin and
choose to connect to Ecrin download.
After unzipping, the files will occupy 100 Mb on the hard
disk. If Ecrin has been installed from a KAPPA CD, the zip file will already have been copied to
the Examples subdirectory. The data sets in EcrGS01_v412.zip are EcrGS01-Pressure.kbl and
EcrGS01-Rates.kbl. These files are binary files that characterize the KAPPA BLI format, a
format that Diamant uses internally for mirroring which provides compact fast access data
sets.
BLI stands for Binary Large Indexed.
B01 • Diamant overview
Before going through the tutorial itself, the following sections give a brief description of the
main software characteristics and key features.
B01.1 • Diamant and Diamant Master
Handling Permanent Downhole Gauges (PDG) data represents a number of challenges: storing
and accessing the raw data, filtering it and then transferring this to the relevant analysis
module and finally sharing both filtered data and analyses.
Diamant Master
is a server
solution that addresses all of these issues. Installed on a dedicated machine, it permanently
mirrors raw data for fast processing, reduces the number of points with wavelet based
filtration, stores and shares the filtered data and exports filtered data sets to third party
databases. It also stores and shares analyses, or various files, within a workgroup.
The
Diamant
module in Ecrin on the other hand works in two ways:
•
In the free Reader version, Diamant operates Diamant Master and transfers data and
technical objects between Diamant Master and the Ecrin analysis modules.
