The settings function allows you to set up your DMS’s role, network connection, language,
measurement units, database management, licenses and you can get information about the
software.

Role in system

Figure 4.1: Role in system

One of the most important settings is the role in system one. This determines how and
where the DMS gets its data from. There are are 3 choices to choose from. For the system to be
working properly you require one computer to be working as Primary Server. It will store and
manage data. For safety purposes you can use a secondary computer set on secondary server.
It will store data independently from the primary, but will automatically take all the settings from
the primary. Once the primary has been started the secondary starts automatically aswell. Every
other computer can work as a client that can read data from either primary or secondary.

Primary Server
You set your DMS as primary server thus having permission to read, to write and edit your
own database that others can only read from. You can also read from other databases on the
network.

Note that you cannot use Data Reader, Data Creator or Data Sender unless set as
Primary Server!

Secondary Server
You set your DMS as secondary server that will be able to read and write its own database
(independent from the primary’s) and act as a backup in case the primary server goes offline (if
primary crashes secondary takes over but does not automatically become a primary server).
Data Reader, Data Creator and Data Sender will not be available for the secondary server.
You can read from other databases on the network.

Client
You set your DMS as a client thus being able to read data from the available
databases, but are not able to write or edit any data. You cannot access Data Reader, Data
Creator and Data Sender.

Network Connection
In the Network Connection tab, you can set up your connection by choosing one of available
connections to your device by clicking Choose.

When you have connected multiple units and want to start a new job with data from
all of them, the counter will not go up and no data will be stored in the database until
every single unit has established a working connection (data has been received
from all the units). Once data has been received from EVERY unit it will be stored in
the database and the counter will increase.

If any unit loses its connection after data transmission has already started the other units
will keep receiving data. The database of this unit that has lost its connection will be filled with the
last value received until a connection is reestablished.

auxiliary block, whilst still keeping its default value in its original block. So each
channel uses 2 fields to store its data. In the first it stores the value it reads and
in the second one the modified value (NULL if no modified value). That means not
ticking the use modified data button will read the original values of the channels
whilst ticking it will make it use the modified values. Using modified data is impossible
with real data (data that’s being recorded in real time).

Sending out data / repeating data

The Data Sender allows your computer to send data to another one either from an already
existing job or realtime as it’s reading data. As an analogy it works like a data repeater for
other computers to connect to.

Figure 7.1: Data Sender

When running Data Sender, you will be given the option to select the channels you want to
use from a job, import your channels from a saved file (previously saved with the Export channel list
button) or Load previously saved settings. Select a job by pressing and then select the channels
you want by pressing Select channels in the main window. You can only load settings of
previously saved settings when they are available. By ticking used modified data you can send
modified data (see end of chapter for details).

When opening it you are given the option of loading an existing job report’s settings or you

bookmarks in the template, which is a .docx file. When a template is loaded the DMS will scan for
the bookmarks in the file and for each bookmark found the user will be able to choose what
type of data to add in that field (text, chart etc).

Creating a template
To create a template, you will need to use Microsoft Word. You will want to add general
information that is re-usable, company logos, headers, footers and page format so that you can
easily use the template for new jobs.

How to add a bookmark in Microsoft Word:

- Click in the document where you want the bookmark to be placed, or select the text you want
to use as a bookmark (text is preferable as you can name it intuitively), then go to Insert and
select Bookmark.
- Give the bookmark a name under which it will be saved as and then click Add. You can see
the selection that is being bookmarked by clicking Go to.
- Once your bookmark has been added it cannot be seen in the actual document by default.
However, you can choose to display them between special faded brackets. To do so go to
File, then select Options > Advanced > Show bookmarks.
- Once you are done creating your template click Save and save it in the template folder (by
default: C:\DMS\Reports\Templates).

IMPORTANT: When selecting the text, you want to bookmark make sure you select
ONLY the text and not an extra space before or after it. Older versions of Word treat the
selection differently so you might encounter problems when selecting extra blank

Slurry Total represents the total amount of pumped fluid into the well
Proppant Concentration is an actual proppant concentration (measured on surface). It is a main
channel chosen in Channel Selecting window.

BH Slurry Total represents the total amount of pumped fluid into the perforations
BH Proppant Concentration is a bottom hole proppant concentration (main channel recalculated
with Wellbore View).

NOTE: As a main channel (visible in main view) all available channels can be used. For
example, it can be proppant, chemicals or acid concentrations or amount. You can
choose for animation channels created with Data Creator aswell!

Selecting channels

This function is a color coded visual representation of the wellbore based on values (density
or otherwise) from a chosen channel, in real time.
When you run the Wellbore View program you will be presented with a configuration
window. From here you select the Job, the Unit and the channels that you are going to use for
displaying (for example: the bottom hole concentration)

Figure 16.1: Wellbore View, job and channel settings

You can only have 1 graphic simulation up at a time, consisting of the channel from Select
slurry total and Select main channel (concentration), but you can add additional channels whose
values will be calculated and saved as new channels in the database in the “WV” table and passed
on as channels for Chart View, Data Table View, Data Sender and Exporting. Only the first opened
window will allow you to create data in the database and to select additional channels. Other
windows can be open vor graphic visualization another channels.
It is advised to leave the Create new channels in “BHC” table (overwrite if exist) option
ticked (on by default) for new jobs. Otherwise new channels will not be saved in the database.
