Adding a New Well
Account administrators can add new Wells (Oil, Gas or Water), group them, import production data, setup tanks, meters, configure allocations and create Errors and Warnings.
To add a Well:
1. Hover over the Manage tab, then select Wells
2. Click the + New Well button, in the upper right hand of the the screen
3. Enter the Well’s basic information.
Name, Alias (alias is a shorter, mobile friendly version of your Well name),
State and associated Lease.
You can also select the type of Well you want to track (Oil, Gas, Gas injection, Water injection / SWD, or Miscellaneous). The production that will be tracked will be automatically set depending on the type of Well you’ve selected.
Next, you will need to decide if the well will be available for Pumpers and if it's Active or not. When you’re done, click Save & Continue
Adding Tanks and Meters
4. On the second sub tab, you can add the tanks / meters associated to the Well. To add a tank or meter:
Enter the tank number*, type of tank, capacity and its multiplier. You can also configure the Well’s allocation settings (See Tank Allocations)
If you have total cumulative meters on your well for oil, gas, or water you can simply add those by clicking the Add Well Meter button.
When you’re done, click Save & Continue.
*Note that every tank in your system has to have a unique name, so you cannot simply name it “1”. It is easiest to put the Well name and then a 1 (e.g. Harris 1) if you don't have unique tank ID numbers.
Production and Hours On
5. The next sub tab, titled Production & Hours On, is where you can:
Add, edit, or delete historical production for existing Wells (See Updating Well Information)
Quickly edit production hours for existing Wells
Import production from previous weeks, months or years utilising a CSV file
NOTE. On this tab you can only import total data production. If you wish to make any changes at a tank level, please review the update tank readings article.
Custom Fields
6. Next is the Custom Fields sub tab. This is where can add, edit, or delete historical custom data fields, such as casing pressure or any other custom field. (See Adding Custom Fields)
Production Goals
7. The next sub tab is Goals. You have the option to set up quarterly production goals for the Well (the system will also make weekly and monthly forecasts based on your inputted quarterly forecast numbers). This is ideal when making forecasted vs. actual comparisons on your Wells. Click Save when done.
Adding Errors / Warnings
8. On the sub tab Errors & Warnings, you can set validation rules for Pumpers in order to reduce human errors. (Learn more about managing Errors & Warnings)
We recommend that you enter an Error validation rule for upper limits of your wells (e.g. Error if Water Production is greater than 500 BBLS). Setting an upper limit on production values will significantly reduce data errors that may need to be corrected later.
Click Save when done.
