Bottomhole Pressure Example

bhp data

In this guide, our main focus is on leveraging the whitson+ API for uploading bottomhole pressure related data. The example can be broken down in four steps.

  • Uploading Wells and Wellheader Data, e.g. wellnames, UWI, etc.

  • Uploading Wellbore Data:, e.g. well deviation surveys, top/bottom perforations and

  • Uploading Production Data:, e.g. oil, gas and water rates.

  • Running BHP Calculations:, e.g. to be used in FMB, RTA, nodal or numerical modeling.

BHP Input Data Schema Visualization

bhp input data model

This data schema shows how the different data tables are related.

Difference between WELL_ID and WELL_DATA_ID

well data id

WELL_ID and WELL_DATA_ID serve different purposes. WELL_ID uniquely identifies a specific well, while WELL_DATA_ID is assigned to each wellbore configuration. Over time, multiple configurations can occur. For instance, initially flowing through casing and later installing tubing would result in two separate wellbore configurations, each with its own WELL_DATA_ID and installation DATE

Connect BHP data to whitson+: Python Example

What does the bhp.py file do?

This file shows an example of how one connect BHP data to the whitson+ domain. The file uses a helper class WhitsonConnection in whitson_connect.py provided here. The example data is from a standard whitson+ MASS UPLOAD example that can be downloaded here. Modifying the code to e.g. pulling data from a SQL table is straight forward, as exemplified below.

Reading Data from a SQL Table

The example above demonstrates how to read data from an excel template into whitson+. The code can be easily modified to read from a SQL database into whitson+ instead. Example of how to read SQL into a Pandas Dataframe can be seen below.

# Define your SQL query to select data from your table
sql_query = "SELECT * FROM your_table_name"  # Replace 'your_table_name' with your actual table name

# Read data from SQL table into a pandas DataFrame
df = pd.read_sql(sql_query, conn)

# Close the connection
conn.close()

# Now you have your data in the DataFrame 'df'
print(df.head())  # Display the first few rows of the DataFrame

WellView Queries: Relevant Tables and Queries

wellview

Below are example SQL queries designed to extract specific information from the a WellView database. These queries demonstrate how to retrieve tubing components, survey data, perforation details, and casing specifications for wells in select counties. Each query includes placeholders for conditions and patterns to be adjusted according to specific requirements. Note that these examples reference relevant WellView tables and are provided for illustrative purposes only.
