RESQML Data Transfer
The RESQML data transfer tool enables the import and export of RESQML files independent of application or platform, and provides a method for exchanging data via an ETP server such as Epos™. The RESQML data transfer tool enables the import and export of RESQML files independent of application or platform, and provides a method for exchanging data via an ETP server such as Epos™. The tool is easy to use, quick and seamless. It is part of the RMS base license and uses the plug-in framework in RMS. The plug-in framework allows the tool to be updated whenever a new version is released through a separate installer, without having to rely on a new version of RMS.
The latest version of the RESQML data transfer tool, including the Release Notes, can be found on the Emerson Customer Portal.
Why RESQML
RESQML is an industry-developed, vendor-neutral format that facilitates data exchange among the many software applications used throughout the E&P subsurface workflow. The tool helps promote interoperability and data integrity among these applications and improves workflow efficiency.
RESQML data transfers in RMS are:
Users can connect and exchange data with any ETP compliant server without having to create intermediate files. This enables RMS to integrate into the Epos environment and import data.
Interoperability with applications outside Epos is done via import and export of RESQML files (.epc).
RESQML 2.0.1 standard format is used to transfer data between RMS and other Emerson applications or third-party applications. See diagram below:
