OpenWorks 2003 to R5000 Migration Workflow

Many users of Petrel use the Landmark OpenWorks product to store their multi-user project data. Many of these users are migrating from the 2003.12 version to the R5000 version of OpenWorks. As these projects are upgraded the links stored in the OpenSpirit datakeys in Petrel projects created via OpenSpirit become invalid. This is caused by:

The OpenSpirit Data Manager capabilities described in this section may be combined in a multi-step workflow to re-link a Petrel project that was originally linked to an OpenWorks 2003 project to a migrated R5000 project. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. If the Petrel project was created via the Schlumberger OpenSpirit plug-in then the Petrel objects will not have as many attributes as if the objects had been imported via the OpenSpirit Adapter. In order to add these additional attributes, which aid in matching, you can refresh all the objects. Note that this step must be done while the OW2003 project is still available.  This step is not required if the Petrel project was created using the OpenSpirit Adapter.
  2. During the migration from OW2003 to R5000 keep track of which OW2003 and SeisWorks projects migrate to which R5000 projects.
  3. After the new R5000 projects are created you can open up each Petrel project and use the OpenSpirit Data Manager to view which OW 2003 projects were used in the project (use the Summary - Data Sources tab but don't attempt to validate the data sources).  Then, using the information gathered in step 2, determine which R5000 project(s) you will want to link the Petrel project to.
  4. Set the default export project to the R5000 project determined in step 3 and then link the desired data types.  Repeat this step for every project identified in step 3.
  5. After successfully linking the Petrel project to the new R5000 project(s) some Petrel objects may still have invalid keys (e.g. perhaps the linked OW2003 data item was not migrated). So to avoid future confusion, you may wish to clear all invalid keys (the OW 2003 datakey will have no use in the future without the original OW2003 project being available).
