What is a WDA file?

WDA files mostly belong to WellCAD. WDA files can refer to specific, specialized data formats.
One common type is a Well Data Acquisition file. This file stores data from well logging and borehole studies used in the oil and gas industry. It is linked to Schlumberger systems and sometimes called a WellCAD data file.
Another use is as a Webex Document Archive file. In this case, the file holds archived web documents and related data; this type is managed by DocuSign and sometimes related to Worldox GX3.
Key uses include:
  • Well Data Acquisition: Contains logging data for geoscience and reservoir analysis.
  • Web Document Archive: Stores archived documents and web data for retrieval and record keeping.
  • FilExt.com notes: To open and view a WDA file, you should use the dedicated software provided by the responsible vendor. For Schlumberger-related well data, use the appropriate Well Data viewer or WellCAD software. For the document archive version, DocuSign’s file viewer is recommended. More details are available on the vendor sites: Schlumberger and DocuSign.
