Abstract
The invention describes a method for creating a digital archive for information generated in drilling and well operations, as well as for planning such operations. The invention further describes a system for linking, storing and accessing the information in a data store, and graphical user interfaces enabling users to accessing information made available in the system. The described system allows internet based (cloud), thus allowing users to access information from different physical and virtual location.

A method for archiving oil well information for an oil well comprising multiple sections, said method comprising:
- at a central computer server, receiving oil well data for a specific oil well from one or more remote computers/servers located at a site remote from the central server, the oil well data comprising oil well schematics;
- extracting oil well schematic metadata from the oil well schematics, the oil well schematic metadata comprising one or more of section size, section depth, bit run data and casing run data for each section;
- creating a well bore unique identifier from the oil well schematic metadata for each section to uniquely identify the wellbore;
- at the central computer server, receiving well run data;
- extracting well run metadata from the well run data, the well run metadata comprising one or more of maximum depth for the run, start time for the run, and end time for the run, wherein the well run metadata is associated with the drilling for each section;
- creating a run unique identifier from the well run metadata to uniquely define each run for the well;
- receiving additional oil well data files for the well from one or more remote servers, the additional oil well data files selected from the group consisting of oil well schematics, bottom hole assembly data, product technical data, oil well running procedures, drilling simulations, time and depth based sensor data, oil well reports, and combinations thereof;
- and at the central server, indexing one or more of the additional well data files with metadata comprising one or both of the well bore unique identifier and run unique identifier to provide a database of indexed files associated with one or more oil wells.

A system comprising:
- a database comprising a plurality of oil well data files from remote sources, the oil well data files indexed with metadata selected from the group consisting of:
- a well bore unique identifier created from oil well schematic metadata comprising one or more of section size, section depth, bit run data and casing run data for each section,
- a run unique identifier created from well run metadata comprising one or more of maximum depth for the run, start time for the run, and end time for the run, wherein the well run metadata is associated with the drilling for each section,
- an equipment unique identifier created from equipment type metadata from a bottom hole assembly schematic,
- and combinations thereof;
- so that individual oil well data files selected from the group consisting of oil well schematics, bottom hole assembly data, product technical data, oil well running procedures, drilling simulations, time and depth based sensor data, oil well reports, and combinations thereof from a particular well are uniquely indexed to the particular well based on one or more of the well bore unique identifier, run unique identifier and equipment unique identifier;
- and
- a user interface accessible from a remote location via a web browser, the user interface comprising a search function allowing users to search the database of indexed files associated with one or more oil wells
