Tutorial 1
This tutorial covers the entire PDG workflow, including both the basic and advanced sections, with a focus exclusively on the oil
phase. You will learn how to create a PDG workflow from scratch; starting with creating a field and well, then loading and
filtering the data, autmatically identifying shut-ins, generating iPTA workflow, and creating plot templates.

It is possible to view in the K-A client the document information and results as well as the main plots.
Content Visualization
When Saphir or Topaze documents are uploaded under a well or field they are automatically pre-processed by
KAPPA-Automate. The following are extracted as part of document pre-processing:
1 Analyses results: To view analyses results, click on the file in the document hierarchy, go to the Info tab and scroll
down to the table under the KAPPA results section.
2 Analysis plots: To view analyses plots, click on the file in the document hierarchy and go to the Plot tab. Users
can toggle through the different analyses in the file as well as the plots in each. The following plots are available to
view:
a. Saphir: Loglog plot, History plot and Semilog plot
b. Topaze: Loglog plot and History plot
Select the EX01_iPTA_Start.ks5 file in the field hierarchy. By Default, the loglog plot from the Saphir file will be
shown:
Using the Plot dropdown menu, select History plot:
Switch to the Info tab and scroll down to view the analysis results:
Result extraction into well properties
Analysis results can be extracted from the documents stored under a well and saved as well properties, the main
use case being to track the evolution of parameters with time. Well properties results can be plotted or used in
further processes or computations. Extraction of results can be configured as desired from the XML file contained in
the K-W archives. It can be triggered on an individual document, or a folder. Finally, one can extract results from
valid analyses only or all of them. Some workflows that create K-W documents automatically also trigger results
extraction – this is the case with iPTA or iRTA described next.
Click on Extract Results, , among the options at the top:
Select Analysis 1, check the option Extract to separate container, then click OK. This will create a new well
properties container using the same file name:
Inside the EX01_iPTA_Start.ks5 container, click on Permeability and switch to the Plot tab:
Since this is the first extraction for this well, only a single value from the analysis is displayed. View other well
properties in the same manner.
