Import AccuMap Data into Petra using a well list

Export data from AccuMap into Petra using an automated process that prompts you for AccuMap export details, launches Petra, and then prompts you for Petra import details. The spatial extents of the data are defined by the bounding wells in the list. Data includes well, production, grid, culture, Open Layers, and shapefile data in NAD83 or NAD27 format.

Export functionality is available in AccuMap using either the Detail Map menu, or Well List Manager.

Petra creates new projects by default in the directory specified in the registry. To specify a different location, add the following to the Petra.ini file found in the Petra installation location (either on the server for a network setup, or on the local machine for a standalone setup):

[ACCUMAP]

PRIVATE_PATH=c:\Geoplus1\Projects
