Use of a database growing daily, currently with around 90,000 wells
The data can be seen around 45 minutes after it is uploaded to the server.
After sending WELLSIGHT wells to the server (partial or completed wells) users can keep track of
them against offset wells.
Who can use it?
All Baroid employees with access to the network. (Registration required)
Users can save, export and share queries on the Baroid KM community.
The WELLSIGTHlocal Champions will also be able to save system queries to be shared worldwide

2 The WELLSIGHT Database

The underlying platform for WELLSIGHT Analyzer is the WELLSIGHT database. The WELLSIGHT
database is a schema that allows for common data access, enables naturally integrated engineering
workflows, and reduces data entry duplication across WELLSIGHT applications.
The WELLSIGHT database receives mostly completed but also allows partial wells to be received from
all of the Baroid Fluid Services Operations worldwide that can be tracked against other wells using
WELLSIGHT Analyzer. The information can be seen 45 minutes after the wells are uploaded.
A significant advantage of the WELLSIGHT database is improved integration between WELLSIGHT
applications. For example, WELLSIGHT data allows for improved plan vs. actual comparisons and
complete store of design iterations from prototype to Plan to actual.

6 Queries
In this chapter you will learn how to:
Identify query types
Create, open, save, and delete queries
Export and import queries.
6.1 What is a Query?
A query is a configurable section of the data from the WELSIGHT Databse for a particular analysis. A
query can include any information attributes captured within the WELLSIGHT application. Queries are
saved to the server database so they can be re-used and in the case of system queries, shared by the entire Baroid
community.
6.2 Query Types
WELLSIGHT Analyzer creates queries to be used directly by the users in two ways:
6.2.1 User Query
User queries are created by the current user and can only be modified by that user. In the Open Query
dialog box, user-level queries are identified by the users login name (e.g., HALAMERICA/hbai996
Note WELLSIGHT Analyzer Administrator/Local Champions can see all user created queries.
6.2.2 System Query
System queries are available to all users accessing the WELLSIGHT database. These queries are
created by users that have been granted access to DataAnalyzer sysadmin after calling the helpdesk to
request access.
System queries can only be created or modified by users with system administration privileges. In the
Open Query dialog, system level queries are identified with sys.
Note Although system queries can not be modified by other users, you can use the Save As command
to make a personal copy of the query.
6.2.3 Automatic Query
WELLSIGHT Analyzer contains an automatic query option that runs queries automatically every time
the query is changed or added. This option is useful for building queries, but can significantly hinder
performance if your query is complex or if you are requesting a lot of data.
The automatic query option is activated using the Automatic Query command (Query Menu). This
command toggles the Automatic Query option on and off. Alternatively, use the toolbar button to toggle
the automatic query option.
6.3 Managing Queries
6.3.1 Opening a Query
Open an existing query.
1. Click File>Open.
The Open Query dialog box opens.
At the top of the screen there are three check boxes. Select the query that you want to open.
1. User Queries: Queries saved by the current user (based on network ID)
WELLSIGHT Analyzer
User Guide

2. System Queries: Queries saved by local champions across the world to be share with all the
Baroid community.
3. All Queries: It will only show at the administrator level.

Click OK.
The query opens in WELLSIGHT Analyzer.
6.3.2 Export a Query
Use this command to export selected queries and templates to a file. If more than one query or template
is selected, then each one is saved to a separate file. The file formats DAQ and DATMPL are specific to
the WELLSIGHT Analyzer. Exported queries and templates can be used for archiving or for sharing
queries between users.
The first column of the Query Export dialog box defines the files as a query or a template.
A query export file (DAQ) includes query data.
A template export file (DATMPL) includes the template data and associated queries.

In this case, it is recommended that the same version of the WELLSIGHT Analyzer is used for both
exporting and importing queries.
1. Select the query or template that you want to export.
2. Click the buttons to select either one or all the queries to move them to the query box at the bottom of
the screen or to return then and select others.

6.3.3 Delete a Query
Permanently delete the current query. There is no undo. Use the arrow keys to move one or more queries
to the lower panel. When OK is clicked, a confirmation message appears. The queries are deleted after
clicking Yes.
1. Select the query or template that you want to delete.
Click the buttons to select either one or all the queries to move them to the query box at the bottom of the
screen or to return them and select others.

Click OK.
The dialog box opens to confirm action. Click Yes to delete the selected queries.

6.3.4 Save As
Save and rename the current query.
Query NameDisplays the current query name. Enter a new query name if required.
System QueryWhen selected, this checkbox indicates a system level query. System queries are
created by users with "sysadmin" privileges for WELLSIGHT Analyzer. By default a typical user does
not have sysadmin privileges, however any user can run a system query, but they can only be modified
by a user with sysadmin privileges. In the Open Query dialog box, system-level queries show up with
(sys) in the second column.
WELLSIGHT Analyzer
User Guide

6.4 Configuring Query Properties
Use this dialog to apply properties to the selected query.

1. Query NameThe name of the current query.
Query OwnerThe current database.
DescriptionThis text box can be used for a detailed description of query.
Force One SQL statementIn some cases when multiple fields are selected from different tables, the
WELLSIGHTAnalyzer will not automatically link the tables together. This is because either the
combined data elements have no valid relationship, or the resulting query can produce a large number of
rows. In this case, the WELLSIGHTAnalyzer will create two SQL statements and display the results in
two separate tabs.
Tip To combine the two individual queries into a single query, select the Force One SQL statement
checkbox. See also Merge Cells.
System QueryThis checkbox indicates a system level query. System queries are created by users with
sysadmin privileges for WELLSIGHT Analyzer. System administration privileges are set by the
database manager. By default, a typical user does not have sysadmin privileges, however any user can
run a System query, but the system query can only be modified by a user with sysadmin privileges. In the
Open Query dialog, system-level queries show up with (sys) in the second column.
WELLSIGHT Analyzer
User Guide

6.5 Creating a Query
Prior to building a query you should define its purpose and prepare a list of the data elements that need to
be included in the query and any conditions you want to define for each data element.
The WELLSIGHT Analyzer Selection Tree enables you to create queries that draw upon the
WELLSIGHT database. When you select what you want included in your query, WELLSIGHT
Analyzer automatically writes the Standard Query Language (SQL) that forms the query. This enables
you to create queries without writing any SQL statements.
Note If you are viewing tight hole data, you will not be able to see the well names, API numbers,
or legal descriptions.
The following steps outline the creation of a query. For illustration purposes these steps create a query
that displays TD Date and TVD for all the wells in the WELLSIGHT database.
6.5.1 Steps for Creating a Query

7 Building Advanced Queries

In this chapter, you will learn how to:
Build Advanced Queries
Use the Expression Builder
Define Parameters
Define Group Conditions
Construct Derived Data Element
Advanced queries can be created in Data Analyzer by building on a basic query. WELLSIGHT analyzer
offers a number of advanced query options, such as the Expression Builder, configurable parameters
including pick list support, Group queries and Derived Data Elements. Each of these options is discussed
in detail in this chapter.
7.1.1 Expression Builder
The Expression Builder is used to add advanced conditions to queries and the Derived Data Element
Builder is used to manipulate the results of queries.
This topic discusses how to use the Expression Builder components and explains how to add expressions
to query elements

WELLSIGHT Analyzer
User Guide

7.1.2 Expression Builder Components

The Expression Builder shown below is comprised of a Data Elements List, an Operators List, a Value
Text Box, an Expression Display Box, and six Operation Buttons:
Data Elements List
The Data Elements List displays all of the data elements that are included in the query. By
default the data element that you are adding the conditions for is highlighted.
Operators List
The Operators List and buttons allow you to build the conditions. The Operators List contains
all the operators you will ever need to add to your queries.
Operator Function
Contains Adds LIKE %<Value>% operator to the expression.
The % indicates that anything can be before or after the string in
between the % expressions. Used to identify a data element that
matches part of a value. %alliburt% is LIKE Halliburton and using
the Contains operator with %alliburt% will return all of the well
names that have alliburt (Halliburton) in the name.
Rows With Max
Value
Adds a RowsWithMaxValue operator to the expression.
Returns the whole record for the Max value. If you want to ensure
that you return the whole record of the Max value use Rows With
Max Value instead of the Max grouping condition.
Rows With Min
Value
Adds a RowsWithMinValue operator to the expression.
Returns the whole record for the Min value. If you want to ensure
that you return the whole record of the Min value use Rows With
Min Value instead of the Min grouping condition.
Contains Adds LIKE '%<Value>%' operator to the expression. The % indicate
that anything can be before or after the string in between the %
expressions.
Used when you want a data element similar to a value. %andmar%
is LIKE Landmark and using the Contains operator with %andmar%
will return all of the well names that have andmar (Landmark) in
the name.
Begins With Adds a LIKE '<Value>%' operator to the expression. Anything can
be after the % expression but data element must begin like the
Value given.
Similar to Contains, but only looks at the beginning of the data
element for a matching string. Land% is LIKE Landmark and using
the Begins With operator with Land% will return all of the well
names that have Land (Landmark) at the beginning of the name.
End With Adds a LIKE '%<Value>' operator to the expression. Anything can
be before the % expression but the data element must end like the
Value given.
Only looks at the end of the data element for a matching string.
%mark is LIKE Landmark and using the Ends With operator with
WELLSIGHT Analyzer
User Guide

%mark will return any well names that have mark (Landmark) at
the end of the name.
Is In List Adds a IN('<Value>','<Value>') operator to the expression. Any
values can be inserted into the place-holder positions.
All data elements matching either the first or the second value will
be returned. You may add as many values to the list as you want.
e.g. IN(aa,bb,cc,dd).
IS NULL Adds a IS NULL operator to the expression.
Returns all data elements that are NULL. (This returns all records
of the chosen data element that are blank).
IS NOT NULL Adds a IS NOT NULL operator to the expression.
Returns all data elements that are NOT NULL. (This returns all
records of the chosen data element that are NOT blank).
Bracket and Operator buttons

Right bracket

Logical AND

Left bracket

Logical OR

Both brackets

Negation operator

Equal to

Not equal

Less than

Less than or equal to

Greater than

Greater than or equal to

Value Text Box
You can choose various values that the operators use in the Value Text Box. For instance, the
first Operator that is in the list in the example above is the Contains operator. You can choose
this operator and assign what value the data element contains in the Value Text Box.
Expression Display Box
As you add the conditions, you can see the expression being built in the Expression Display
Box. As well, the data element you are adding a condition to is automatically added to this
display box.
Six Operation Buttons
The OK and Cancel buttons are used to exit the Expression Builder. The OK button saves
your work while the Cancel button does not.
The Undo button allows you to delete the last change you made to the expression, without
losing all your changes.
The Clear button erases everything in the Expression Display Box.
The Parameters button allows you to add prompts to get values for the queries as they are
run.

7.1.3 Parameters
7.1.3.1 Adding Parameters
Parameters are added to a query when it is necessary to be prompted for values for a query. This can be
useful when a query is used often and you are constantly changing the values of the expressions in the
Expression Builder and/or the Derived Data Element Builder. Parameters can be added in either the
Expression Builder or the Derived Data Element Builder. Parameters can be added to any query in place
of any value. Once a Parameter is added to a query, you are prompted for the value(s) every time the
query is run.
This topic uses a generic expression in the Expression Builder as an example of how to add the
Parameters. The example query created for this section includes the Well Name, TD Date, Total TVD and
we will add the Country data elements. Country does not have condition but this will be the value
prompted for once the Parameter is added.
To add a Parameter to a query:
1. Add the country name on the selection Tree
In the Condition Editor, select the Condition checkbox in the same row as the required data element. In
this example the Data Element used is Country name.

Select Expression Builder from the Query menu, or double-click the row next to the enabled checkbox.
The Expression Builder dialog opens.
Click the data element (in this example, Country), followed by the "Contains" operator.

Click to open the Query Parameters window.

Click to indicate that you are adding a parameter to the expression. New Parameter 1
appears in the Parameters list box, and cursor appears in the Prompt text box.
Type a prompt in the Prompt text box. This is the prompt that will appear when the query is run. For this
example the prompt will be Select Country
Select the Use Pick List Selection checkbox. The Table, Value column and Display Column pick lists
become available.
Select the WELLSIGHT table containing the pick list data from the Table pick list.
Select the table column containing the query value being searched from the Value Column pick list. For
Example, in this query we are looking for the Country and therefore select the COUNTRYNAME Column.

2. From the Display Column pick list, select the column containing the choices that appear in the
prompt pick list. For example, for the table COUNTRYNAME there are six columns to choose and the
right one in this case would be the COUNTRYNAME.

Type a default value in the Default Value text box. For this example Colombia will be used as the default
value.

Check the pick list and select the Country you want for the query results.

Click . Every time the query is run you will be prompted for a value.

Note When the query is run for the first time the default value will be used as a place-holder in the
text box in the prompt dialog box. If there is a value that will commonly be used for the query, it is a
good idea to use it as the default value. Every time a new value is used in the query the default value
will be replaced by the new value.

7.1.4 Grouping Conditions
A Grouping Condition is one that groups the results of a query by likeness. Grouping Conditions are an
excellent way to find maximum and minimum data elements from all the records that a query returns. As
well, you can get a total number of records a query returns (Maximum Wells drilled depth by Year) total
number of wells drilled grouped by Fluid Class: Water, Oil, Synthetic, Air ) or you can group the query
results by a specific data element that meets certain set criteria. For instance, you could build a query that
returns the most recent (maximum) date that a well had maintenance done to it, count the total number of
times that a well has undergone maintenance since it was originally drilled or you could find the most
recent date that maintenance was done on any well.
7.1.4.1 Grouping Condition Rules

Grouping
Conditions
Rules
Max Works on any data element.
Returns the highest value (Z over A, 10 over 1).
Identifies the maximum record meeting the rest of the query conditions and returns the
data element selected for the record. Only returns the data element and not the whole
record. For an example of how the Max Grouping Condition works click the link to the
left.
Min Works on any data element.
Returns the lowest value (A over Z, 1 over 10).
Identifies the minimum record meeting the rest of the query conditions and returns the
data element selected for the record. Only returns the data element and not the whole
record. For an example of how the Min Grouping Condition works click Min to the left.
Group By Returns the data elements meeting the conditions set in the query assembled into
groups of likeness.
Will only return identical data elements once (a group by on Legal Well Name will return
only one row for each Legal Well Name, a group by using both Legal Well Name and
Event Type will show one row for each identical pair of data elements - if maintenance is
done twice on any given well, it will only be shown once). For an example of how the
Group By Grouping Condition works click the link to the left.
Count Counts the number of data elements meeting the conditions of the query.
Returns only the number of records, not the records themselves. For an example of how
the Count Grouping Condition works click the link to the left.
Sum Calculates the sum of all the numeric record values meeting the conditions of the query.
Avg Calculates the average of all the numeric record values meeting the conditions of the
query.
StDev Calculates the standard deviation of all the numeric record values meeting the conditions
of the query.
Works only on MS Access databases.
Var Calculates the statistical variation of all the numeric record values meeting the conditions
of the query.
Works only on MS Access databases.
WELLSIGHT Analyzer
User Guide


Expression To be used with derived data elements. When you want to perform a calculation in an
expression using grouping conditions, choose the Expression condition. This tells
WELLSIGHTAnalyzer that the grouping condition is in the expression.
The derived data element expression must already contain a grouping condition. For an
example of how the Min Grouping Condition works click the link to the left.
7.1.4.2 Group By Conditions

A Group By condition allows you to create a condition that groups query results using an aggregate
function. Identical data elements are displayed only once.
The following procedure outlines the creation of a Group By query which displays the total number of well
intervals that Baroid has drilled with different fluid classes (oil, water, synthetic or air) for a certain country,
well names are listed more than once as the output is showing each well intervals fluid class.

4. Create a new query (File>New)
5. Select the data Elements that are involved in the query.
o Well Name (Wells>Well Data >General)
o Country (Wells>Well Data>Location)
o For the Group By query select the Fluid Class data item in the Selection Tree (Well>Fluid

7.1.4.3 Group Conditions ANDed Together
In the previous example, the results set returned the count of well intervals that have been run for each
type of fluid class available in the database. That means worldwide. In this case we can limit the results
to group data elements to show only records for a particular country (i.e: Colombia). This is accomplished
using the Group Conditions ANDed Together option.

7.1.5 Derived Data Elements
Derived Elements are another type of condition you can add to the query in order to get specific
information from the query. The difference is that Derived Elements allow you to take the data that the
query returns and manipulate the results through the use of functions in the Derived Data Element
Builder. In other words, with a Derived Element, you are not changing the actual query. Instead you are
manipulating the query data by displaying it in another form or showing the results of a calculation. The
query will return the same data with or without a Derived Data Element, but a Derived Data Element will
help isolate and interpret the data. This is useful to create Key Performance Indicator (KPIs) and keep
track of the data over the history.
This section shows you how to add a Derived Element, and explains the functions that are available in the
Derived Data Element Builder.

7.1.5.1 Derived Data Element Builder Components

Derived Data Elements are created in the Derived Data Element Builder dialog which is similar to the
Expression Builder. The Derived Data Element Builder is comprised of the following parts:

Derived Data Element Name
Allows you to give the Data Element being built a descriptive name. For instance, if you add a
Derived Element that calculates the sum of two data elements the Derived Data Element
Name could be "Total: Data Element 1 +Data Element 2". This is the heading that appears for
the Derived Data Element.
Data Elements
WELLSIGHT Analyzer
User Guide

List all the Data Elements that were included in the query. These are used in the creation of
the Derived Data Element. If you were to build two Derived Data Elements, the first Derived
Data Element would be included in this list when the second was bring built. Double-click the
data elements to include them in the expression.
Functions
List all of the functions that are available in the Derived Data Element Builder for building the
Data Element. These functions are explained in a table at the end of this section. Double-click
the functions to include them in the expression.

Name and Function
(<DE>=Data Element)
Description
Concatenate {fn CONCAT( <DE>, <DE>
) }
The concatenate function combines the first data
element with the second in the expression. A value
can be added in the place of a data element by
placing the value in single quotations.
Leftmost Characters {fn LEFT( <DE>,
<Value> ) }
This function starts counting characters from the left
until the <Value>assigned is reached, and returns
those characters. For instance, if the data element
being considered was Baroid #1, and <Value>was
equal to 4, the Derived Data Element would return
Baro. If there are spaces to the left, they will be
returned.
Left Trim {fn LTRIM( <DE> ) } This function strips out any spaces that are in front of
the data element.
Lower Case {fn LCASE( <DE> ) } This function converts all upper case characters in
the data element to lower case.
Rightmost Characters {fn RIGHT( <DE>,
<Value> ) }
This function starts counting characters from the right
until the <Value>assigned is reached, and returns
those characters. For instance, if the data element
being considered was Baroid #1, and <Value>was
equal to 4, the Derived Data Element would return d
#1. If there are spaces to the right of the data
element, they will be returned.
Right Trim {fn RTRIM( <DE> ) } This function strips out any spaces that are in to the
right of the data element.
Substring {fn SUBSTRING( <DE>,
<Value(1)>, <Value>(2)>) }

This function needs two values. <Value (1)>is the
count from the first character of the data element and
<Value(2)>is the number of characters to count from
the first character. For example, if <Value(1)>=2,
<Value(2)>=2 and the data element was Baroid #1,
the returned string would be ar.
Upper Case {fn UCASE( <DE> ) } This function converts all lower case characters in the
data element to upper case.
WELLSIGHT Analyzer
User Guide

Absolute Value {fn ABS( <DE> ) } This function returns the absolute value for the
number.

Ceiling {fn CEILING( <DE> ) }

This function returns the smallest integer greater than
or equal to the number. If the number is 1.9 the
returned integer will be 2. If the number is 1.0 the
integer returned is 1.
Floor {fn FLOOR( <DE> ) }

This function returns the largest integer less than or
equal to the number. If the number is 1.2 the returned
integer will be 1.
Day of the Week {fn DAYOFWEEK(
<DE> ) }
This function returns the day of the week as an
integer. The range is 1 - 7 where 1 =Sunday.
Day of the Month {fn DAYOFMONTH(
<DE> ) }
This function returns the day of the month as an
integer. The range is 1 - 31.
Day of the Year {fn DAYOFYEAR( <DE>
) }
This function returns the day of the year as an
integer. The range is 1 - 366.
Year {fn YEAR( <DE> ) }

This function returns the year from a date field.
Usually a date field is in the form mm/dd/yyyy.

Operators
These buttons work exactly like the operator buttons in the Expression Builder. Click them to
include the desired operator in the expression.

The plus button adds a +operator to the expression
area. This operator is used to add two or more value
or elements

The subtract button adds a +operator to the
expression area. This operator is used to subtract two
or more value or elements

The multiply button adds an * operator to the
Expression area. This operator is used to multiply two
or more value or elements.

The divide button adds a / operator to the Expression
area. This operator is used to divide two or more
values or elements.

Open Bracket operator adds an ( to the Expression
area. This operator is used with the Close Bracket
operator to enforce orders of precedence in a SQL
select statement or calculation.

Close Bracket operator adds an ) to the Expression
area. This operator is used with an Open Bracket
operator to enforce orders of precedence in a SQL
select statement or calculation.

9.1.4.1 Selecting Data Series columns
The Data Series is used to create separate lines for each unique value in the selected column(s).
The Available Columns lists only those columns that are used for sorting. Use the arrow keys to
move the selected column(s) to the Data Series panel. A graph is not required to have Data
Series column selected.
For example, if "Well Name" is selected, there will be a separate line on the graph for each well in
the result set. If both "Well Name" and "Wellbore Number" are selected, there will be a separate
line on the graph for each unique well and wellbore combination.
9.1.4.2 One Data Series for Every Unique (column selected)
The Data Series used depends on the sort order defined in the Conditions Editor. If any column is
selected as a Data Series, any elements with a higher sort order will also be automatically
selected.
For example, if "Well Name" has Sort Order 1, and "Wellbore Number" has Sort Order 2 (in the
Conditions Editor), then if both columns are selected as Data Series, they will appear as:
Well Name AND Wellbore Number
9.1.4.3 Selecting Z Axis columns
The data element that the primary Z-axis is based on. It can be either numeric or text. Only one
data element can be selected.

9.2 Graphics Properties

The Graph Properties dialog is part of a 3
rd
Party application integrated into WELLSIGTH Analyzer. This
dialog contains several tabs which allow you to customize the graph display. Each tab is context-
sensitive, meaning that the options available on the tab are directly related to the graph type currently
selected.
The Graph Properties dialog is available using the Properties command (Graphics Menu) or from right-
click menu over the graph.
Alternatively, use the toolbar button to launch the Graph Properties
This section outlines the customization that can be performed using the Graph Properties dialog.

Overlay
An overlay graph uses the same X axis as the primary graph. Overlay graphs are
always line graphs and show only one data set. They can be overlaid on scatter, line,
bar (vertical) and area graphs.

Error Bar
Error bars are vertical or horizontal lines indicating a range of error or uncertainty in
the plotted values. Only scatter, line, and bar graphs can include error bars.

9.3 Graphics Example
This example illustrates how a typical graph can be created from a query using conditions to filter the
data. In this case the query results use the Days on Location (DOL) and Measured Depth drilled
(MD).
1. Select the following Data Elements from the Selection Tree.
2. Add the following Conditions:
Country =colombia
Operation like BP
MD >0 to clean data.
3. Sort by Well Name in the Conditions Editor.
4. Create a derive data element called DOL (Days on Location) as follows:
On the Derive Data Element Builder use the function Date Difference Days and apply it to the
Spud Data and the Report Date, in order to the number of days on location.

10 Filter and Templates
10.1 Templates
10.1.1 Using Templates
Templates are query groups that allow you to collect queries that are similar or are often run
together, so filters can be applied to and conditions set for the group of queries. A query that has
been added to a template is opened every time the template is opened. The Filter option can be
used to alter the results of all the queries in a template at one time.
In this topic, you will learn how to create, save, open, import, and export templates. You will also
learn about the Open Template dialog box.
The following are the components of the Open Template dialog box.
User TemplatesWhen selected, this allows you to view your own template(s) that were
saved locally
System TemplatesWhen selected, this allows you to see the global templates.
Note Not all users will have access to this check box. If you want access, you must fill
out a Global Access Form to save system templates.
Leave Existing Queries OpenWhen this option is selected (default), any displayed
queries remain open. To assist in distinguishing queries belonging to different templates,
related query tabs have a common color. If this option is turned off, existing queries are
closed before the selected template queries are displayed.

10.2 Filter Tab

When a template is opened, the application defaults to the Filter tab. This tab allows you to refine
the query results of the template, by applying a filter. A filter is essentially another high level query
applied to all template results. The filter works retrieving data for a list of Well, Wellbores, Rigs, etc.
On the data returned from the filter is analyzed by the queries in the template. The queries in the
template should be designed so that the filter applied is appropriate.

IncludeThis checkbox is used to determine which Filter results are applied to the template
queries. For example, if "All Wells" is selected as the Filter Query, and the Include checkbox is
turned off for a specific well in the Filter result, then this well will not appear in any of the template
queries. Hint: Use the right-mouse button to Include or Exclude all Filter results from query.
Apply / Automatically ApplyEither apply the result of the Filter query manually (Apply) or have
the results applied automatically every time the Filter query is changed (Automatically Apply).
DeleteRemove a custom Filter query.

12 Appendix A. Adding Key Joins

A join construct is an important element in an SQL query and is used when information is kept in more
than one table. When two tables contain information about a common item, it is a common practice to join
the two tables to retrieve information about that item. The join is necessary to obtain information about the
item, but still keep the information in two tables.

WELLSIGHT Analyzer defaults to inner joins between tables with related fields. Supported databases
are Oracle and MSDE.

1. Join Types
Inner JoinAn inner join produces a table which contains only records where the joined fields of the
tables have equal values.
Left Outer JoinA Left Outer Join creates a new table from records in two tables. It includes all of
the records from the left table (the table name displayed in the Left Column text box) and includes
only the records from the right table (the table name displayed in the Right Column text box) when
the same value exists in the joined fields.
Right Outer JoinA Right Outer Join creates a new table from records in two tables. It includes all
of the records from the right table (the table name displayed in the Right Column text box) and
includes only the records from the left table (the table name displayed in the Left Column text box)
when the same value exists in the joined fields.
Omit JoinAn Omit Join disables the default join between fields. When a join is omitted, it is
possible to produce unexpected results and very large tables.
