Well Completion Reports

 
PIRSA Petroleum and Geothermal Group has a library of hardcopy well completion reports of all petroleum wells drilled in South Australia, of which there are about 2100. To date, all well completion reports, selected geological reports and historical and current tenement register documents have been scanned, totalling over 28 GB. All documents are available on CD or DVD.


Thousands of well log sepias and hardcopy well completion reports have now been processed and sentenced to State Records, completing two major long-term data management projects in 2004. Work is ongoing to sentence other petroleum reports and files to State Records, after scanning and digital archiving.


The formats of the scanned reports are as follows — the text of a report is in Adobe PDF format, including bookmarking for ease of navigation through the digital document. Larger plans and logs are captured as either TIFF or JPEG (colour) format and linked to the bookmarked document. These large images have not been embedded in the PDF to give companies more flexibility, including plotting or viewing the images in other software packages or the UNIX environment. Scanned well completion reports in this format can be found on recent PIRSA data and acreage release CDs and DVDs.


Around 30 scanned well completion reports will fit on a single CD or approximately 90 per DVD, but file sizes are reducing as tenement operators now submit them in digital format. PIRSA will provide quotes on application for scanned reports.


Bundled Package

Petroleum and Geothermal Group are currently offering all open file well completion reports, wireline logs, log displays and a copy of PEPS-SA on a removable hard disk for A$2000. The portable hard disk is provided free but with a caveat emptor — data is provided at cost of transfer but recipient must take responsibility to archive/backup the data in some manner of form. Portable disks are transport mediums (data can be deleted off them).


A complete list of basic well information including well completion report status is included on the Basic Well Information spreadsheet.
