WITS meaning in Earth Science ?

Answer: What is Wellsite Information Transfer Specification mean?

The Wellsite Information Transfer Specification (WITS) is a specification for the transfer of drilling rig-related data. This petroleum industry standard is recognized by a number of companies internationally and is supported by many hardware devices and software applications.

WITS is a multi-layered specification:

Layer 0 describes an ASCII-based transfer specificationLayer 1 describes a binary-based format based on 25 predefined fixed-size records and the Log Information Standard (LIS) data-transmission specificationLayer 2 describes bidirectional communication using LIS Comment recordsLayer 2b describes buffering of dataLayer 4 extends the previous layers to use a different data exchange format, RP66

Though still in active use as of 2013, the specification has been superseded by the XML-based WITSML.
