Topic:
How to export tops/markers from IESX.

Description:

Solution:
Output well marker data in the following format:
Name, Well symbol code, X, Y API, Coordinate units (F or M), Kelly Bushing,
Datum, Comment1, Comment 2, Top name, time

     If markers/tops were loaded via IES then skip to Step 2.  
     If some markers/tops were loaded via IES and others via IESX run Step 2
     and then rerun from Step 1.

Step 1 - IESX > Session Manager > Application > DataManager > Wells > Markers

     1.) Select All for Wells, Formations and Sources
     2.) Click Export to IES
	 a. Select All Formations and All Wells
	 b. Set Export Depth = Both
	 c. Highlight Sources
	 d. Click large black down arrow
	 e. Click Export 
	 f. Message "This will overwrite tar file, confirm?"
            This is a warning that the marker information stored in IES only
            will be overwritten.
            If marker data has already been imported from IES to IESX or does
            not exist or has already been exported, Confirm > Yes.
	 g. Dismiss > Dismiss
         h. Exit the IESX project

Step 2 - Enter IESX > Session Manager > Application > IES Data Management(*See
                                                                    note below)

     1.) Select 6 - Execute Management Utilites 
     2.) Select 3 - Execute OS commands in a subprocess 
     3.) At the prompt type in , $TOOLS/info, and hit return
     4.) Select 2 - Print Well Info 
	 a. Toggle 1- Frequency of well name = once 
	 b. Toggle 2- Z units to time or depth
	 c. Toggle 3- Depth units to feet or meters
	 d. Toggle 4- Format = tops
	 e. The default output file in number 5 is called wellinfo.dat. 
	    This file is output to the project home dsl.
	    NOTE: DON'T FORGET TO HIT RETURN AFTER CHANGING EACH OPTION OR IT
	    WILL NOT UPDATE!  
         f. Select Exit to execute the process. 
         g. Select Exit to exit the menu then type exit at the prompt.
            Continue selecting exit until out of IES menus.
	 h. Use Unix command  to print the file.

Step 3 - If well tops are listing as "NO" in the report, rerun the Print Well
         Info command and change the Z units option. Delete or rename your
         previous output file.	
         
Step 4 - If you continue to have problems getting the tops names to appear, you
         will have to perform an inventory rebuild in IES Data Management**,
         then enter IESX utilities and run option 81*** to resynchronize
         IES/IESX Well Information.  When these are completed then return to
         Step 2 above.
