To configure General Well Test properties

Perform the following steps to configure the general well test properties, referring to the property definitions below:

  1. Click the General tab on the left side of the screen.
  2. Configure the Point scheme and Retention values.
  3. Configure the Relative Facilities properties: Source of the file, Path to the file, and name of the Relative Facility Definition. See Creating the Relative Facilities File for more information.
  4. Configure any new UDCs as necessary.
  5. Save any changes.
  6. Click the Headers tab on the left side of the screen to continue well test configuration.

General

The General configuration section of the General page defines the Point Scheme used by the CygNet Well Test module and the length of time to retain well test records.

Property Description XML

Point scheme

Specifies the Point Scheme used by the CygNet Well Test Module.

<PointScheme>

Retention

Specifies the number of days to retain the well test records.

<RecordRetentionDays>

Relative Facilities

The Relative facility configuration section of the General page defines the location of the relative facilities file and name of the definition set.

Note: See Creating the Relative Facilities File for instructions on how to get relative facility settings from a Canvas installation.

Property Description XML

Source

Specifies the path type for the relative facility file. Supported options include Local or BSS.

<RelativeFacilityFileSource>

Path

Specifies the path to and filename of the relative facility file.

<RelativeFacilityFile>

Definition

Specifies the relative facility definition set to use for the configuration. This is only needed if there are multiple definition sets in the relative facility file.

<RelativeFacilityDefinition>

UDCs

The UDC configuration section of the General page defines the UDCs where the CygNet Well Test module will post well test values to well-known points.

Property Description XML

Name

Specifies the nice name for the UDC. Possible UDC name types include:

  • WellInTest — the well currently being tested. This UDC only applies to headers in "Host" mode. UDC is WTNAME.
  • TimeInTestActual — the amount of time the well has been in this state. For example, if the well test sequence is purging, it measures how long it’s been purging. This value will get updated periodically based on the sleep timer. UDC is TMWTACT.
  • Command — the command currently being processed. This only applies to headers in Host mode. UDC is WTCMD.
  • Action — the action currently being processed. This only applies to headers in Host mode. UDC is WTCMDACT.
  • Queue — the default header queue point. The UDC is QUEUE.
  • PendingWellQueue — the configuration XML of the pending well test queue (stored as separate points' VHS blobs). The UDC is PWELLQCFG.
  • ActiveWell — the configuration XML of the active well (stored as separate points' VHS blobs). The UDC is ACTWELLCFG.
  • Result — the default point where well test results are saved. This can be overridden by the UDC in the Script action type. The UDC is WELLTEST.
  • ContinuousMode — indicates that the header is in continuous mode, that is running in a continuous loop. Configured on the General page of the Well Test configuration. Optional. The UDC is WTCONT.

UDC

Specifies the UDC of each UDC type.

When you create a new configuration in the Canvas Well Test Configuration control several default UDCs will be provided. These default UDCs correspond to the UDCs used in the sample Canvas screens. You can choose to keep the same UDCs or specify others as necessary. The default UDCS are as follows:
