Compute Cumulative Production Rate

 
Main module: Compute>From Production>Average or Cumulative Production Stream

The Compute Cumulative Production Rate Tool extracts production data from a zone data item.  As a zone data item, these values can be used in other calculations or mapped.  Multiple types of  production data are extracted that include:

·Cumulative production
·Average production rate
·Number of years produced
·Number of days produced
·Date of first production
·Date of last production

Description

Data

Production stream

Selects monthly production stream (oil, gas or water)

Include Historical Cum (Year 0)

Includes  production prior to recording monthly values. Stored in year zero (0).

Use Alias

Use aliases when needed.

Time

Compute for Constant Date Range

computes the statistics over a specific timeframe, specified by the "From" and "Through" entries to the immediate right.

Compute for Zone Date Range

This option computes the statistics over the timeframe specified by a "From Zone Item" and a "Through Zone Item."  Unlike the "Compute for Constant Date Range", this option can compute a different range for every well.

Compute for Months

This option computes the statistics over range in  the life of the well, specified in number of months.  As an example, setting this to 3 and 6 will calculate the statistics from the third to sixth months of production for each well.  Since this option looks at the individual life of each well, rather than a specific date, this can be useful for comparing life cycle production from well to well

Compute for First

Computes the statistics over the first specified number of months of production data.  Note that this option can be limited to producing months only, rather than including non-productive months that can bring down the average production.

Compute for Last

Computes the statistics over the last specified number of months of production data.  Note that this option can be limited to producing months only, rather than including non-productive months that can bring down the average production.

Use Time Period When Prod is At Maximum Value

Calculates production statistics for a set number of months around the highest  production.

Use Time Period When production is At Minimum Value (non-zero)

Calculates production statistics for a set number of months around the lowest non-zero individual production value.

Range for Min-Max Period in Months

Sets the range for the or the "Time Period" ranges.  As an example, setting this option for 6 with a "Use Time Period When Prod is At Maximum Value" will calculate the statistics over the interval 3 months before and after the highest producing month.

Method to Determine Min-Max Prod

·Cum Prod Within Range

·Max or Min Prod Within Range

Cum Prod

Compute Cumulative

Enables or disables the cumulative production summation.  When this option is enabled, Petra will store the cumulative production to the specified zone data item.

Store NULL Value

Stores zero cumulative production values as null values.

Store Zero Value

Stores zero cumulative production values as zeros.

Avg Prod

Compute Average Rate

This option enables or disables the average rate computation.  When this option is enabled, Petra will store the average rate to the specified zone data item.

Store NULL Value

stores zero average values as null values.

Store Zero Value

stores zero average values as zeros.

Compute Single Monthly Average

computes a simple average monthly production rate with total production divided the total number of months.

Compute DAILY Average using Days per Month

Computes a daily average monthly production rate by dividing the average monthly production by the number of days in a month.

Compute Daily Average Using "DAYS ON" Production

The Days On stream simply records the number of days of production in a month.  This option computes the daily average by dividing the production stream by the number of days of recorded production.  This option can be more accurate, given good records.

DAYS ON Production from

Sets the "Days On" production stream for the "Compute Daily Average Using "DAYS ON" method.

When DaysOn Values Are Missing

This option controls how the tool handles missing "Days On" values.  This tool can either skip the month (which can skew the statistics), or use the number of days in the month (which effectively assumes full production).

High-Low

Compute Highest Production Rate

This option stores the highest production rate over the range specified on the Time tab to the zone data item specified below

Compute Lowest Production Rate

This option stores the lowest production rate over the range specified on the Time tab to the zone data item specified below.

First-Last

Store Date of First Prod

This option stores the date of first production to the zone data item specified below.

Store Date of Last Prod

This option stores the date of last production to the zone data item specified below.

Store Cum at First Prod Date

This option stores the cum at the first production date to the zone data item specified below.

Store Cum at Last Prod Date

This option stores the cum at the last production date to the zone data item specified below

Capture

Do Not Compute Total Years

This option disables the year calculation

Total First To Last Month Produced

This option Check this option to count all months beginning with the first month of production to the last month of production.

Total Productive Months Only

Check this option to count all months beginning with the first month of production to the last month of production but months of zero production will not be included.

Total First To Last Produced

Check this option to count whole years beginning with the first production value through the last year of production.

Capture Number of Days of Production

This section will capture and store the total number of days used to compute the daily average production rate.
