Over the years many Operating and Service companies developed proprietary formats for electronic data exchange. WITS has been used extensively for a number of years by working for many operators around the world to facilitate information-sharing and to provide data to remote monitoring facilities. WITS also incorporates the means for a remote computer system to send instructions to the sending system in order to set or change certain parameters, including the type of data transmitted and the interval for transmission.Īs well as specifying a format for data transmission, WITS also defines a basic set of pre-defined records to which user-defined record types may be added. The rig activity usually determines which records are applicable at any given time such that only appropriate data is transmitted. Each data record type is generated independently of other data record types and each has a unique trigger variable and sampling interval. At the lower levels, a fixed format ASCII data stream is employed, while, at the highest level, a self-defining customizable data stream is available.Ī WITS data stream consists of discrete data records.
WITS is a multi-level format which offers an easily achieved entry point with increasingly flexible higher levels. It is a recommended format by which Operating and Service companies involved in the Exploration and Production areas of the Petroleum Industry may exchange data in either an online or batch transfer mode. The WELLSITE INFORMATION TRANSFER SPECIFICATION (WITS) is a communications format used for the transfer of a wide variety of wellsite data from one computer system to another.
