Streamlining Data Migration to Oliasoft WellDesign with Our EDM Importer Tool

The Challenge of Unlocking Historical Well Data from Legacy Systems

Transitioning to modern well planning platforms is often hindered by the challenge of liberating historical data stored in external databases, such as Landmark’s Engineers Data Model (EDM™). These databases store critical well information (e.g., wellbore trajectories, wellbore surveys) across several tables without modern API support, making it difficult to extract and use in newer systems. Without a solution, operators are forced to continue relying on legacy databases – and tools for key functions, such as anti-collision calculations, limiting their ability to fully transition to more advanced platforms and digital workflows.  

Oliasoft’s EDM Importer Tool as a streamlined solution

Oliasoft addresses this challenge with its EDM Importer Tool, a streamlined, three-step process that enables operators to extract, process, and transfer historical well data from EDM into Oliasoft WellDesign. This tool facilitates accurate data migration, ensuring seamless integration with modern well planning workflows. The steps include: 

1. Data Extraction via XML: EDM data is exported as XML files, containing essential well data like wellbores, surveys, and datums. 
2. Processing: The data is converted into JSON format, aligned with Oliasoft WellDesign’s object-based model.  
3. Data Reconstruction in Oliasoft WellDesign: Data is rebuilt into comprehensive wellbore objects, maintaining complex structures and parent-child relationships for precise visualization and management. 

Unlock Real Impact with Future-Ready Data

By utilizing Oliasoft’s EDM Importer Tool, operators can migrate historical data into a modern engineering platform. Critical data, such as wellbore trajectories and surveys, are preserved without loss during migration, unlocking one key benefit:

Migrating to Oliasoft WellDesign prepares operators to leverage modern tools, open APIs, and future advancements, ensuring continued efficiency and scalability.

With Oliasoft’s EDM Importer Tool, operators can overcome the challenges of legacy data migration and fully transition to modern, efficient well planning systems - enhancing operational readiness for future technological needs.
