What Does Your Database Contain?

  • Operators need a complete and accurate database to depend on for operations Plan Section
  • This means populating a database by digitalizing available data from many sources

The Problem: Is the database accurate after a historical data import?

  • How do we go about fixing/checking this data?

The Solution: Database Assessments and Auditing Techniques

  • Identify the software package you are using to tailor your assessment techniques 
  • Query appropriate fields from the database to perform your assessment and plan your audit
  • Analyze results to structure and execute a database audit

Database Assessment and Audit Work Flow

  • Audit Highest Priority Company
  • Audit Highest Priority Project
  • Audit Highest Priority Site
  • Audit Highest Priority Well
  • Audit Highest Priority Wellbore
  • Audit Highest Priority Design

Incomplete Database Population

  • Goal
    • Decrease the lateral spacing in the field
    • Avoid confusion caused by acreage intermixed with several other operators
  • Strategy
    • Develop the standard procedures for entry of wellbore positional data into the database
    • Conduct a deep dive for data on legacy wells from regulatory and third party data sources
    • Digitize data for all wells, from all operators, in the area in order to make practical operations possible
  • Benefits
    • Wells in asset are audited and entered in to the database for use with operations
    • Planning efficiency increases, engineering lost time is reduced, which increases productivity
    • Anti-Collision scans able to accurately represent the field
