Real Time Data Digital Signature updated fixing a problem where a WITSML
3.5.12.0
Link connection would come up in Evaluation Mode

Licensing Issues Fix to further address license issues seen in patch 3.5.9.0 3.5.11.0

Geolog Fixed issue where multiple tops were not being imported/exported
3.5.10.0
Connection to/from IP

This patch has been issued to address a problem that some users
have been having with patch 3.5.9.0 which causes a fatal
Update 3.5.10.0 3.5.10.0
exception in IP. The patch includes the changes in IP3.5.9.0 but
included an older version of a dll that we think is causing the problem.

Multi-Well Addressed issue where not all wells were being successfully output to
3.5.9.0
Correlation Plot hardcopy

Manage Curve When copying/moving a curve between sets in Manage Curve Sets
3.5.9.0
Sets Module there a curve history entry is now made for the new curve

MD elevation is now calculated from 'Elevation of permanent datum

'plus the 'elevation above permanent datum' fields in the well header.
The user can override this calculation from the TVD module window.
TVD 3.5.9.0
Conversely, if the value is changed on the TVD window it will be
posted back to the elevations of the KB, DF or RT (what ever the 'Log
measured from' has been set to)

Interactive Block Fixed issue where the Cancel button would cause an error window to
3.5.9.0
depth Shift come up

If the output depth offset curve's output set does not cover the full
interval of the curves to be shifted then a message error dialog now
Depth Shift 3.5.9.0
prompts the user to change the Depth Offset output set. Previously this
would result in the curves not getting shifted.

Fixed issue when selecting an input set and a new output set would
Depth Shift 3.5.9.0
cause the application to hang when the Start button was pressed.

Fixed issue when negative TVDSS with limited interval set would
MW Correlation
cause the data not to be seen in the plot when Settings > TVD button 3.5.8.0

were clicked.

MW Correlation Fixed issue with headers and footers being misaligned in the hardcopy
3.5.8.0
Viewer if a track is hidden.

When you copy a well using the ‘save as’ option, the History
History Module 3.5.8.0
parameters file is now copy correctly.

Fixed bug in the NMR Sw Calculation if the input PhiT < CBF, which in
NMR 3.5.8.0
turn would cause an ‘Arithmetic Data Overflow’ error to occur.

Popup message when license is <30 days until expiry now refers the

user to contact IPSupport@Senergyworld.com

When using "default" plot header report tick boxes (e.g. Zonal
Summation Report), the reports were printed at random sizes, often
Log Plot 3.5.8.0
un-readable due to code change to .NET. The code has now been
reverted back to the original code and has fixed the problem.
When loading a .plt file which had curves which didn’t exist in the well
Log Plot an error would be thrown and the formatting of the Curves Tab in the 3.5.8.0
Log Plot Format window would be wrong. This has now been fixed.

** This patch was not for general release ** 3.5.7.1

A window inviting users to register their copy of IP is launched the first
IP Registration time IP is opened after this patch is installed. The window gives
3.5.5.0

Added message to alert user if no Well is selected ‘for Model Run’ on
Cluster Analysis the Input Tab when the Multi-Well Plot button is pressed. This would 3.5.5.0
have caused an error to occur in previous patches.
If an error message occurred it would need to be OK’d for each zone in
Cutoff and the cutoffs tab. When multiple zones are used this could give the
3.5.5.0
Summation impression that IP has crashed. Code changed so that error message
is only displayed and cleared once.

Log Plots Multiple words with spaces now allowed as log track header names 3.5.5.0

For ‘Time Wells’ the scale label was not visible. This has now been
Log Plots rectified and added new scale defaults to allow time in 100’s of 3.5.5.0
seconds to be scaled appropriately

resulted in the hardcopy output being slowed considerably. Also
Plotting 3.5.4.1
changed the Plot Output screen under the Advanced tab to better
highlight shading options.

Electrical Image Added Weatherford’s OMI tool to the list of tools. 3.5.3.9

occasional data point appeared to be excluded from the resultant curve

Survey files with “hidden” characters next to the data are now checked

LAS Writer – resolved issue of writing an LAS file when there are
Input / Output 3.5.3.5
multiple periods in the well name.

Pasting Survey data and loading from a file now checks for ‘hidden
TVD Calculation characters’ (spaces etc.) which prevented survey data being loaded 3.5.3.5
properly

Real Time Data Fixed bug when running the basic Log calculations module from within
3.5.3.3

Interpretation this value to be changed in by the Field Engineer
Added VSilt as a curve type and updated the Composite Plot to allow
the VSilt curve to be plotted and shaded correctly regardless of which
Log Plots set it is in. (Note: There is a known issue with the PhiSw module that 3.5.3.3
doesn’t assign the Vsilt curve type correctly, so this needs to be added
manually. This will be fixed in the next patch).

** Change in IP Version Naming Convention **
First 2 numbers signify the Major Version Number and are incremented
when new modules or major functionality is added or changed (usually
rd
Version Naming every year). The 3 number is a Minor Version number and is 3.5.2.1
incremented for each patch release signifying ongoing bug fixes and
th
small changes to the software. The 4 number is now the build number
and will allow for better control internally of software versions.
