Ecrin Guided Session #1
• Ecr
GS01 - 5/37
C01.1 • Adding a new well to the field
Before loading the production data, we need to create a well for the field.
Use for instance the 'Add New Well' icon from the 'Browser' toolbar .
Fig. C01.3
• Well Properties
Accept the defaults and exit the Well
Properties dialog with 'OK'. In the Data
Browser, a 'Wells' node has been created
under which the newly created 'Well #1' node
has been added. Expand the 'Well #1’ node
(see right).
At the same time, a 'Field Production' node is
created; this node includes the cumulative
rates ('Sigma' Rates) for each phase by
adding up the wells production belonging to
the same field.
C01.2 • Loading the oil rate
As previously indicated, the raw data for this session are in BLI format. This can be loaded in
Ecrin using a specific plugin. The load plugins are the basic components to access external data
sources, and more specifically to access databases. A plugin corresponds physically to a DLL,
and the modularity permits adding or modifying data access easily. Loading from BLI files is
similar to loading from a database and will illustrate what it takes to access a new database.
To proceed we first need to create a Data Access definition. The only information needed
for the particular case will be the BLI folder location; in the general case, it will depend on
the plugin.
