Laterals are clearly displayed for almost all wells.
Dashboard Descriptions
Production Profiles
Here you can find the decline curves for all wells, based on the latest production data. This allows you to easily compare well performance over time, between operators/basins. You can also select wells on a map, e.g. a particular well and its offsets.
Several charts are available and production data can be normalized.
Key Questions:
- How has well productivity changed over time for the operator or area that I am interested in?
- How do basins/operators/formations compare in terms of well productivity?
- How does one particular well compare with other wells in the area?
Capabilities
- Easily select wells with filters or on a map.
- Compare their performance by any dimension (time, formation, operator, well, etc).
- See rate vs time, cum. vs time, or rate vs cum. graphs.
- Normalize production data by lateral length/proppants.
- Updated multiple times a day.
Productivity Ranking
If you want to know where the best or worst performing wells are, and who operates them, this dashboard has the answers. You can choose your productivity metric (e.g. cumulative oil in the first 24 months, normalized for lateral length), and whether you want to compare operators, counties, or even individual wells.
Key Questions:
- Which operators have the best or worst performing wells?
- How do basins/formations/counties compare in terms of well productivity?
- Where are the best/worst performing wells located?
Capabilities:
- Choose your own performence metric (e.g. cumulative oil production in the first 18 months, normalized for lateral length).
- See a heat map with all the selected wells using the same productivity metric.
- You can exclude operators with fewer than a certain number of wells.
Permit Activity
Information about permits for new horizontal wells is shown here. How many permits were approved over time, where they are located and individual details. You can also rank operators (or e.g. counties) by the number of approved permits in any time period. Handy if you want to know which operators are most active in applying for permits. A map is available, which shows the permitted locations.
Key Questions:
- How many permits have been approved/completed/cancelled over time, and their split by e.g. operator.
- Which operators are most actively acquiring new permits and where are these permitted locations?
- What are the permit details, such as the approval date, well name, location and expiration date?
Capabilities
Three charts are available in which the number of selected permits can be seen over time, or ranked by e.g. operator, or with all the permit details available. An interactive map is available which shows the permitted locations.
Lateral Lengths & Proppants
Completion designs and especially lateral lengths and proppants have radically changed in many of the basins. Here you can easily spot those trends, and quickly compare them between operators/basins/formations.
Key Questions:
- How have lateral lengths and proppant loadings changed over time?
- How has well productivity changed in the same time?
- How are different operators completing their wells in a particular area?
Capabilities
- A chart displays the average lateral length, proppant loading and fluid volume for all wells selected, by production start date.
- You can easily select subsets, e.g. operators, to see how each has changed its completion designs over time.
- Set a productivity metric and see how it has changed in the same period.
Well Status
The status of all wells can be found here (spud, DUC, just completed, producing, inactive or plugged). You can also select a status and display the results by another dimension, e.g. to answer the question which operators have the most DUCs.
If you have any question about the number of wells with a specific condition, you'll probably find it here.
Note that in some states completion reports are published with a lag time and that therefore the status for the most recent months can be out-of-date.
Key Questions:
- How many wells were spud or completed by month?
- How many DUCs are there by operator or county?
- How many wells are currently producing below x number of barrels per day and where are they?
- How many producing wells are there by formation?”
Capabilities:
- On the map you can see all the wells by their status, or e.g. by their production rate.
- A chart shows how the total number of selected wells, colored by the status (or other chosen dimension).
Total Production
Here you find the total amount of oil or gas produced by any set of selected wells. Do you want to know how much tight oil was produced in the United States, or in the Permian or by a certain operator? Here you quickly can find the answer.
By showing this production data by different dimensions, you can easily learn more details. (e.g. by vintage to show the underlying decline, or by state to understand where a certain operator gets most of its production).
Key Questions:
- How much oil & gas have different basins/operators/formations produced?
- Where has the operator of your interest wells, and how much are they producing?
- How up-to-date is the production data?
- How many producing wells are there in a certain area?
Capabilities:
- Contains a chart with the total oil or gas produced for all wells selected.
- Includes a chart that shows the number of wells that have started producing by state, and through when each state has been reported. Here you can also find the number of wells that were not yet reported in the last month(s).
Horizontal Drilling
This dashboard contains the latest rig count data, sourced from Baker Hughes. It is not yet on operator level (we are working on that), but you can quickly spot what the trends are and how activity is shifting between counties/basins.
By showing this production data by different dimensions, you can easily learn more details. (e.g. by vintage to show the underlying decline, or by state to understand where a certain operator gets most of its production).
Key Questions:
- How many rigs are drilling horizontal wells as of last week and where are they?
- How has the horizontal rig count changed over time in any basin/county?
Capabilities:
- The horizontal rig data is available for each US county and week, and can be easily analyzed in several charts.
- Data is updated within 1 hour from when it is published.
Gas Oil Ratio Map
Here you can find the gas/oil ratio (GOR) for all wells. Many customers find it important to understand GOR trends as they may impact decline curves and it changes the product mix over time.
Key Questions:
- How are GORs changing for producing wells?
- Is there a correlation with the behavior of the decline curves?
- How has the overall GOR changed over time in an area?
- Which wells have a low/high GOR and where are they located?
Capabilities:
- A map shows the location of all wells, colored by the GOR in the most recent month.
- Several charts are available that allow you to see how GORs have developed over time.
Leading Operators
Here you find which operators have the largest production volumes in the last 12 months, in any given area. Select whether you want to see the top 5 or top 100 and the dashboard immediately reveals the ranking. You can see their production history, and also where the wells are located.
You can use the same functionality also to find the top producing counties, fields or formations.
Key Questions:
- Who are e.g. the top-10 largest oil or gas operators in any area?
- How has their production changed over time and where are their wells located?
Capabilities:
- Charts show the production history of the top producers and different maps are available that display their wells.
Terminal Decline Rates
The key question that this dashboard aims to answer easily is by how much wells (especially older ones) decline.
You select the areas that you are interested in and immediately you will see the production profiles and annual decline rates. Comparisons between operators/basins/etc are made easy.
Key Questions:
- What are the annual decline rates of (mainly older) wells?
- Are there differences in decline rates between basins, or operators?
- Have these decline profiles changed over time?
Capabilities:
- Annual decline rates are accurately calculated based on only the actual population of wells that reached a certain age.
- You can select when to start (production start or peak production)
Productivity Over Time
Here you can choose a productivity metric (e.g. 2 year oil cum) and see how this metric has changed over time. As usual, you can split this by operator or other dimensions (e.g. basin, county, formation) to see where productivity went up or down and by how much. Select a category and see on the map where those wells are.
As lateral lenghts and proppants have had a major effect on performance, these metrics are displayed as well.
Key Questions:
- How has well productivity changed over time?
- In which counties has productivity gone up or down?
Capabilities:
- Choose your own performence metric (e.g. cumulative oil production in the first 18 months, normalized for lateral length)
- Compare different operators/basins/formations based on this metric.
- See how completion designs have changed in the same time frame.”
Productivity Distribution
Here you will find how well results are distributed. Select whether you want to measure cumulative oil or gas and the time frame (e.g. 24 months), and see how many wells have reached a certain production volume.
Key Questions:
- Which percentage of wells have produced above or below a certain volume in the first x months on production?
- Where are those specific wells located?”
Capabilities:
- Specify how you want to measure productivity and immediately see the resulting distribution.
- A chart shows the frequency distribution and also the running total.
- The interactiveness in the dashboard allows you to easily analyze where the good or bad wells are located on the map.
Peak Rate Map
If it is important for you to make decisions based on early production results, this dashboard can help you. On a map you will find the location of all wells that started production, colored by their peak production rate.
You can also see the production profiles for the selected wells, and a scatterplot allows you to identify where exactly the outliers are and who owns them.
Key Questions:
- What are the peak oil/gas production rates of the wells I’m interested in?
- Where are the best/worst performers?
Capabilities:
- The dashboard has a high degree of interactiveness, so you can quickly link information in the different charts and map.
- A scatterplot shows the peak production rates for all individual wells, in which you can also make your selection, e.g. to find the location and ownership of particularly well performing recent wells.
Water Production
In this dashboard you will find how much water is produced together with oil & gas, for all states that report this (which includes currently all states except Oklahoma).
Key Questions:
- How is the WOR changing for producing wells?
- How has the overall WOR changed over time in an area?
- Which wells have a low/high WOR?”
Capabilities:
- A map shows the location of all wells, colored by the WOR in the most recent month.
- Several charts are available that allow you to see how WORs have developed over time.
Cumulative Production Ranking
Instead of measuring productivity at a certain age, this dashboard shows how much oil or gas basins/counties/formations or even individual wells have produced to date.
Key Questions:
- How many wells have already produced more than 1 million barrels of oil and where are they?
- Which counties/formations have produced the most oil or gas to date?
Capabilities:
- Whatever dimension you are interested in, results are immediately ranked in a chart.
- Clicking on any category immediately highlights the related wells on a map.
Flared Gas
Here you can find how much produced gas is flared at the well location. States that provide this data include Texas, North Dakota, New Mexico and Colorado.
Key Questions:
- How much natural gas is flared?
- Which operators flare the most or least amount of gas, as a percentage of their total production?
- Where are wells located where a lot of gas is flared?
Capabilities:
- A map displays the location of wells, colored by the amount of gas flared in the most recent month for which data is available.
- A chart ranks all operators (or e.g. counties) by the total amount of gas flared. Clicking on a category will highlight the wells on the map.
- Another chart shows the produced and flared gas history for any selected area.
