Loader and Techlog on separate user computers.

administrator, super administrator. You can define the rights per user, per countries and
per templates. You can use https encryption with the Apache server.

How is the database securely transferred in the customer environment?


We do not transfer anything in your environment. We use the Oracle Database 10G Express
Edition. If you decide to purchase CoreDB, you must purchase the Oracle Production
version, install it in your IT environment and load your data.

Other software

Can I connect CoreDB to other software?


Yes. You can connect CoreDB to Techlog. In Techlog (from CoreDB properties), enter the
same URL used in CoreDB Web page.
You can import/export from CoreDB to Techlog and from Techlog to CoreDB.
You can open a CoreDB web page inside Techlog. If you drag-and-drop a CoreDB well into
Techlog, it is directly imported. If you right-click on a well in the Techlog Project browser,
you can display this well in the CoreDB window. If you right-click a sample in a Techlog
Cross-plot, you can display this sample in the CoreDB window.

How can I import data from CoreDB to Techlog?


You can import data by dragging-and-dropping a well from CoreDB to Techlog.

How can I visualize data from Techlog to CoreDB?


Before visualizing data, make sure data in Techlog and CoreDB have the same Unique Well
Identifier (UWI) property. Right-click the well to display and select Display the well in
CoreDB to visualize it in CoreDB.

Can CoreDB Loader 2009.3.7 work with CoreDB Server 2009.3.5 for example?

Data management, Import and Export

I imported data with CoreDB Loader. How can I visualize data in CoreDB tree?
Click F5 to visualize data in the tree. You can right-click and select the Refresh option.

If I import images in the database, are they saved in the database, or only links
to the images?
If you import images, they are saved into the Apache Server by default.

Does CoreDB support all images formats?


CoreDB supports the following formats: .jpg, .png, .tiff, .bmp.

Are multiple depth shifting pairs stored in the database and available to
Techlog?
Y ou can have several samples on the same depth, and you can store core depth, shifted
depth, vertical depth. Techlog does not handle duplicated data on the same depth: When
you export from CoreDB to Techlog, the depth is shifted to avoid doubles.

How are handled the documents that are used to provide data for the database.
You must convert Excel data files in CoreDBCSV format to be imported into CoreDB. The
variable columns must match with CoreDB templates. PDF and Word documents files are
stored physically in the database.

Why are some wells in the data tree red colored or black colored?
If the well is red, the UWI of the well is empty but the well contains data (UWI stands for
Unique Well Identifier. You can find this shortcut in the report).
If the well is grey, there is no data.
If the well is black, it contains both data and UWI.

How are handled the Excel files used to provide data for the database.

license file?
It depends if the license file used is local or floating.

Can it link up to a physical inventory? I currently have a key which identifies a
core barrel run and associated attributes - everything relates back to the core
barrel run.
You can add your own Object Identifier to identify your samples.

How many set of sessions do I have in CoreDB?


There are 2 types of sessions:

• Loading session
• Connection session

What is the “Object key” in CoreDB?


The “Object key” is the tool that identifies an object in an unique way.

• Sample:
• Core:
• Free sample:
• Point Interval Sample:

How can I find a glossary of the CoreDB template acronyms?


We do not have a glossary available right now. Place the mouse on the acronym to see its
meaning.
You can find the meaning of acronyms by exporting the different families to an Excel file. To
do so:

1. Go to Administration > Templates > Consult > Edit templates.


2. Click one of the families. You get a toggle in the bottom allowing to export data to Excel.
This Excel file comes with a description of acronyms.
This assumes that you provided descriptions when you created the templates.

Does CoreDB allow missing values?


Yes. Only -9999.

What can I do with the Inventory menu in CoreDB?


You can select measurements to export with the Inventory menu. In Multi-well mode, if
you select PHI for instance, CoreDB applies this measurement to all the wells in the
database.

Can I create or load the same template twice in CoreDB?

Schlumberger Private – Customer Use


No. You cannot create 2 families, or 2 experiments or 2 variables with the same name in
CoreDB.
Depending on the content of your template file.

• If you load an experience that already exists in one of the templates package, the
existing one is replaced.
• If you load an experience that does not exist yet in one of the templates package, the
new one is added.
• Be aware that with Templates loading, you can modify, replace, add, but you cannot
delete.
• It is better to have experiences in a unique family. It is not a good practice to have the
same experience in 2 different families.

Data Export options - LAS, Excel - export of arrays


Only Excel (csv and xls) and Techcsv formats are available. If you want LAS files, you can
import in Techlog and export your data.
