RMS-RESQML/Geolog Connector

The RMS-RESQML/Geolog Connector can be used to transfer data between RMS and third-party applications. RESQML/Geolog Connector in RMS allows the following:

RESQML DATA TRANSFER

The RESQML data transfer tool enables the import and export of RESQML files independent of application or platform, and provides a method for exchanging data via an ETP server such as Epos™. The RESQML data transfer tool enables the import and export of RESQML files independent of application or platform, and provides a method for exchanging data via an ETP server such as Epos™. The tool is easy to use, quick and seamless. It is part of the RMS base license and uses the plug-in framework in RMS. The plug-in framework allows the tool to be updated whenever a new version is released through a separate installer, without having to rely on a new version of RMS.

The latest version of the RESQML data transfer tool, including the Release Notes, can be found on the Emerson Customer Portal.

WHY RESQML

RESQML is an industry-developed, vendor-neutral format that facilitates data exchange among the many software applications used throughout the E&P subsurface workflow. The tool helps promote interoperability and data integrity among these applications and improves workflow efficiency.

RESQML data transfers in RMS are:

Service (ETP)
File-based (.epc files).

Users can connect and exchange data with any ETP compliant server without having to create intermediate files. This enables RMS to integrate into the Epos environment.

Interoperability with applications outside Epos is done via import and export of RESQML files (.epc).

RESQML 2.0.1 standard format is used to transfer data between RMS and other Emerson applications or third-party applications. See diagram below:

Data Types Supported

Data Type	Data Subtype	Transfer Capabilities	Emerson Applications
Well data	Wellhead, trajectory, logs (continuous and discrete), picks/markers	Import + Export	Epos™, SKUA-GOCAD™, Geolog™ (via Epos)
Interpretation data	Horizon/fault picks, surfaces, T-surfaces, lines/polygons (fault sticks)	Import + Export	Epos, SKUA-GOCAD
Regular 2D data	Surfaces, 2D grids	Import + Export	Epos, SKUA-GOCAD
3D grids	Straight pillar grids only, grid properties – continuous and discrete only	Import + Export	SKUA-GOCAD
Blocked wells/ upscaled log data	Continuous and discrete properties only	Import + Export	SKUA-GOCAD

RMS-GEOLOG CONNECTOR

The RMS-Geolog Connector allows the direct transfer of Geolog project data to RMS. It communicates directly with standalone Geolog projects to gather a list of available data, which is then used by the connector to choose the data to be transferred. Geolog projects can either be stored locally or over a network (data transfer of Geolog projects from the Epos database is not supported). This connector is solely designed for well-specific data transfer (refer section below) supported by RMS, beginning with the Geolog 20 release. This cross-platform protocol allows data transfer between Windows and Linux.

Data Types Supported

RMS Well Attribute	Geolog Well Attribute	Comments
Well name	WELL
Wellhead east UTM (X)	X-LOCATION	Unlike Geolog, RMS does not support geographic latitudes/longitudes
Wellhead north UTM (Y)	Y-LOCATION
RKB	ELEV_MEAS_REF	In RMS, MD is referred from RKB and TVD from MSL by default. In Geolog, both MD and TVD are referred from RKB
Trajectory/Survey Data	REFERENCE; DEVIATION	REFERENCE is the default set specified for trajectory/survey calculation.
Logrun	SET
Well picks	TOPS.TOPS	Geolog can have multiple sets of TOPS; however, the one mentioned here is only mapped
