I did change few emails some years ago with someone from DAN Europe.
Some comments about data exchange format, but I do not recall any
details. And they probably went different ways than the plan at the
time. They currently seem to support DAN's own format and UDDF for log
uploads. I have uploaded logs from Subsurface generated UDDF file and
it has been parsed properly on my tests. They seem to be truncating
hours from the average runtime, otherwise I have not noticed any
problems (except at the time I tested it, it was dead slow so I did
not look closely). Anyway, my interaction with them does not warrant
the phrasing from your extract, so interested to hear if there is more
to it :D
