combined). Additionally, you must have a Techlog Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> license.<br />
To create and manage Techog Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> indexes, you must have a <strong>Studio</strong> Manager<br />
license.<br />

The Techlog connector for <strong>Studio</strong> 2013 enables to exchange data directly between Petrel <strong>2013.1</strong> and<br />
Techlog projects.<br />
The supported workflows are:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Wells<br />
o Well, trajectory, and wellhead X & Y location, transfers from Techlog to Petrel (for new<br />
wells only)<br />
Logs<br />
o One-dimensional numeric logs (continuous or point data), transfer from Techlog to<br />
Petrel<br />
Borehole Images workflows<br />
o Wellbore raster image, transfer from Techlog to Petrel<br />
o Dip angle and azimuth interpretation logs, transfer from Techlog to Petrel<br />
Well Tops and Fluid Contacts<br />
o Well Tops, and their Petrel grid model’s respective segments and zone names,<br />
transfer from Petrel to Techlog<br />
o Fluid Contacts, transfer from Techlog to Petrel<br />
From version 2012, all the Techlog to Petrel transfer workflows above can be performed within the<br />
Find workflows.<br />
The plug-in does not introduce any new custom domain objects. It creates instances of the following<br />
native Petrel domain objects:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Borehole: to import new wells and their trajectories into Petrel, when exporting well tops, you<br />
can create new wells<br />
Trajectory: to import into Petrel for new wells only<br />
Markers: to export well tops to Techlog<br />
WellLog: to import well logs<br />
BitmapWellLog: to import image files<br />
ContactSet: to import into a specified Petrel model grid<br />

From version 2013, the Techlog Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> is the new name for what used to be called the<br />
Techlog Link plug-in for Petrel. There are no new features for the Techlog Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> relative<br />
to version 2013.<br />
The major change concerns the Techlog project indexing for Find Workflows that is now done with the<br />
<strong>Studio</strong> Manager <strong>2013.1</strong>. The Data Environment Manager has been retired.<br />
Indexing workflows included in the <strong>Studio</strong> Manager are:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Create and manage data environments<br />
Add and configure data sources<br />
Schedule and run indexing<br />
Manage indexes<br />
Browse data indexed with <strong>Studio</strong> Find<br />
Visualize data indexed in 2D or 3D viewers<br />

The following table summarizes known issues and limitations for the Techlog Connector for <strong>Studio</strong>.<br />

User Interface<br />
Issue or Limitation<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Core images viewed in the plug-in Image view tab do<br />
not retain their aspect ratio and appear horizontally<br />
stretched.<br />
If the Windows 7 display text size is set to medium or<br />
large (125% or 150% of normal text size), a few labels<br />
in the Export tab of the plug-in are partially hidden.<br />
When squeezing the box containing the blue question<br />
mark related to confirmation check boxes in the Well<br />
and Log mapping tab, the icon keeps its own size<br />
(no resize) and overlaps other fields.<br />

Units mapping<br />
Techlog well names cannot contain special characters,<br />
including /, \, ., &, :, *, ?, “, , |. Petrel does not have<br />
these special character limitations for well names. When<br />
exporting wells and well tops from Petrel to Techlog, if the<br />
Petrel well contains a special character, the well does not<br />
export and a message is displayed in the Petrel message<br />
log. The Petrel well names must have special characters<br />
removed for them to be exported to Techlog.<br />
<br />
<br />
An intermittent problem where the Techlog<br />
Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> opens very slowly (~1 minute,<br />
when it might take only a few seconds) was observed.<br />
This problem is not yet understood. It might be<br />
associated with network problems and might<br />
sometimes be corrected by rebooting the PC.<br />
A problem was seen (rarely) where the Techlog<br />
Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> fails to open inside Petrel and<br />
instead the Techlog licensing setup wizard is<br />
displayed. This appears to be an interaction between<br />
the Techlog Data API license (embedded in the<br />
<strong>Ocean</strong> Store Techlog Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> license)<br />
and the Techlog licensing borrowing feature. If you<br />
see this problem, it might be corrected by opening<br />
LMTOOLS clicking the Borrowing tab and then<br />
clicking the Don’t Borrow Anymore Today button.<br />
(LMTOOLS is available from inside Techlog: Project<br />
> Licensing > FlexNet Publisher or, from Techlog<br />
installation folder>\tools\lmtools.exe.)<br />
If you have aTechlog dataset with a reference variable in<br />
'Ft' unit, the Techlog Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> does not<br />

switching to the Export tab and back<br />

Issue or Limitation<br />
allow you to convert it to ft or any other compatible unit.<br />
The workaround is to go to the Techlog project and<br />
change the unit to ‘FEET’ or ‘feet’<br />
Opening an extremely large Techlog project can be<br />
significantly slower since version 2012 than it was in<br />
previous versions. This is because the Techlog<br />
Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> plug-in now examines each<br />
variable of each well when the project is opened to<br />
determine if there is any loadable data. Wells with no<br />
loadable data are grayed out in the Project browser and<br />
cannot be moved to the Data selected for import pane.<br />
Note: As an example, one tested Techlog project – which<br />
was larger than 70 gigabytes and contained 480 wells,<br />
4428 datasets, 69381 variables – took approximately 9<br />
minutes to open.<br />
To work with projects of this size, we recommend that you<br />
use the new Partial project loading feature and only load<br />
the sub-set of Techlog wells that are used for import<br />
operations. Refer to Partial project loading section in the<br />
User Guide.<br />
If using the Techlog Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> with a Petrel<br />
project which is not spatially aware, and then selecting a<br />
well, the CRS field can be manually change in the well<br />
mapping tab; the modification is not taken into account in<br />
further action. Going to another tab and then back to the<br />
well mapping tab, the original CRS value is retrieved.<br />
You want to import a well that does not have any spatial<br />
references. You can select the well and set the spatial<br />
parameters (CRS, elevation and azimuthal reference),<br />
import the well and close the plug-in. Petrel remains open.<br />
Then, in the Techlog project, spatial reference values are<br />
entered for this specific well.<br />
The Techlog Connector for <strong>Studio</strong> is opened again with<br />
the same Techlog project. The well reference values seen<br />
are not the ones entered in Techlog but the previous ones<br />
specified by the Petrel end user.<br />
The workaround is to end the current Petrel session (open<br />
a new project or restart Petrel) in order to see the<br />
changes.<br />
After resolving errors and warnings for all items in the Data<br />
selected for import pane, the Import button becomes<br />
enabled. At that point, if you switch from the Import tab to the<br />
Export tab, the Import button will be disabled. This is normal.<br />

But, even after switching back to the Import tab, the Import<br />
button remains disabled. This is a bug that can be worked<br />
around with any of these actions:<br />
1. Toggle any single warning confirmation checkbox off and on<br />
again.<br />
2. Add or remove something from the Data selected for import<br />
pane.<br />
3. Close and re-open the Techlog Connector (this will discard<br />
your import selection)<br />
