When data is imported into a Petrel project that already has some data in it the OpenSpirit Adapter will try to see if there is matching data already in the project. If a data item that is to be imported matches data already in Petrel then you have a choice of whether you want to:
Add the matching data item as a new object
To indicate what action to take for each matching item you may either set the desired action by selecting from the drop down list in the action column for the row of interest or you may highlight several rows and select the desired action by clicking on the corresponding tool bar icon (this is the easiest way to set an action for many rows).
To help you decide what to do the OpenSpirit adapter also allows you to filter the list of matching data by comparing the last modified time in Petrel to that in the external project- you may use the +, >, < tool bar buttons to control these listings. These are the same icons as used in the Petrel Reference Project Tool.
The attribute(s) that are used to determine a match are shown in the green column(s) and the choice of which attribute(s) to use are controlled by the OpenSpirit adapter configuration file.
Clicking the "Details" button will cause the dialog to display all the available attributes of the data items to be imported.
Once you have made your choices click on the OK button to begin the import (or proceed to another Import dialog for additional data types). If you click cancel then none of the data will be imported. Data dependent on the data you are canceling import of will also be canceled- e.g. if you cancel a well import then logs, picks, and checkshots associated with these wells will also be cancelled.
The Match
Merge Options setting can be used to pre-select the match merge action
which will prevent the match merge window from appearing during import.
