7.1 OPERATIONS PROGRAM

Document, issued by the Contractor based on the well information provided by
Company, containing at least:
• Step of the operations
• Dimensions and configuration of each tool or equipment and describing how each of
them has to be operated.

8. ANNEX A - SPECIFICATION FOR BOTTOM HOLE DATA FILES
Standardisation of the file format of the data recorded during well testing
*************************************************************************************************
The release of ASCII files containing the following information is generally required:
a. a few heading lines - information notes, numerical values of quantities not depending on time;
b. lines relevant to the required numerical values recorded as a function of time.
Each line, either relevant to information data or recorded values, must be concluded by a carriage
return (<CR>). The recorded values must always be reported starting from a defined line number. As
far as the information data are concerned, it should be noted that a well-defined meaning is
associated to each line: shouldn’t the information be available, the line must be left empty, and a
<CR> typed.
The last line of the file should contain the last values recorded, and not special characters or
indicators of end of file. A <CR> is always necessary.
NOTE: the use of <CR> or <CR><LF> as the line ender is absolutely indifferent.
The following pages present details concerning the file format for the in-hole recordings - point 1:
bottom hole recordings (PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE HISTORY FILES) - and surface
recordings - point 2 (SURFACE DATA FILES - TEST TREND) -.
As far as the system of units is concerned, note that in all cases the recorded values are implicitly
referred to pre-arranged units, which can be reported in one of the file heading lines for information
purposes only.
1. PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE HISTORY FILES
History files must contain the pressure and temperature values recorded by the tool in the well. If
pressure and temperature profiles have been carried out, the values recorded during the run-in hole
and pull-out of hole operations must be also included.
The recommended file format is shown in the following pages.

<FILE HEADER>

There are no limits on the number of decimals for the recorded numerical values.
Lines 27 and 28 must always contain the description of the variables and the reference measurement units and are not
considered as containing data; the recorded values start from line 29.

2. SURFACE DATA FILES - TEST TREND
Surface data files must contain values of the significant variables as a function of time, i.e.
pressure, temperature, flow rates, and fluid properties, recorded by tools/equipment located at
surface, notes, and a set of pressure and temperature data downhole recorded (based on variable
sampling time intervals, coinciding with the monitorings at well head).
Herebelow are the variables which have been identified, together with their relevant units and the
order according to which they must be reported inside the file:
1. date time MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm

2. elapsed time min
3. choke size inch
4. BHP kg/cm2 rel.
5. BHT °C
6. THP kg/cm2 rel.
7. THT °C
8. CHP kg/cm2 rel.
9. separator pressure kg/cm2 rel.
10.separator temperature °C
11.gas flow rate Sm3/day
12.oil rate STm3/day
13.water rate m3/day
14.cumulative oil m3
15.cumulative water m3
