Candidate Release Specifications

Those versions of a standard that have successfully been through Energistics' standards development process and are ready for membership and public review prior to formal release as industry standards.

WITSML Version 1.4.1 is now available for public review and comment.

 

Version 1.4.1 includes all existing data objects plus two new objects as well as resolutions to technical issues identified in version 1.4.
 
One of the new data objects in version 1.4.1 captures the technical details of a Well Fracturing Service.  The stimJob data object provides a comprehensive summary of a well stimulation operation and can be scaled to allow the required amount of detail for service company or operator reporting. This object within WITSML provides the opportunity to expand the range of workflows available to assist wellbore construction operations.
 
In addition to the new stimJob object, the following items are also addressed in version 1.4.1:
  • trajectoryStation points to ISCWSA Error Model object.
  • Introduction of SHALL (server) and MUST (client) terminology to tighten spec.
  • Assign specific server error to each MUST condition.
  • Elimination of unit conversion from interface.
  • Server accepts client unit. Client accepts server unit.
  • Consistent unit required for growing object indices.
  • Explicit control over server or client data size.
  • Adds mnemonicList for reduced log overhead.
  • v1.4.0 changeLog and behavior.
  • Many clarifications.
