Create Well Production Graphs for a Single Well

RockWorks | Borehole Manager | Production | Single Well Diagram

This program is used to read date-based oil and gas production data from the borehole database and generate a variety of 2D production graphs for a single well. The output may include a single graph, stacked graphs showing multiple parameters, or overlaid graphs showing properties superimposed on other parameters.

Feature Level: RockWorks Advanced

Step-by-Step Summary

Menu Options

• Borehole
  Click this tab to select the well for which the production diagram is to be created.
• 
  
• Graph Options
  • Graph Type: Click on this tab to choose the type of diagram(s) you wish to generate.
    • Type of graph: This drop-down list includes a long list of diagram types, for display of single measurements or multiple measurements, or a custom setup. (More info)
    • Normalize graph(s) to same range as other wells: Check this box if the graph for this well is to be plotted at a scale which would accomodate the highest value in any well.
    • Plot Master Title: Check this box to include a title at the top of the graph.
      • Use Borehole Name: Choose this option to plot the borehole name as the graph title.
      • Other: Choose this option to plot a different title. Enter the text for the title in the prompt.
      • Font size: This is defined as a percent of the extent of the diagram. The greater the value, the larger the text. (Default = 3%)
    • Custom Graphs: If you have set the Graph Type to Custom, you can define not only which graph(s) are to be plotted, but also define their specific settings.
      • Custom Layout: Use these options to define which graphs are to be included in your composite diagram. (More info)
      • Graph Options: Click this tab to access and edit the options for each graph type. (More info)
      • 
        
  • Date Labeling Frequency: Choose the labeling frequency for the lower horizontal (time) axis.
  • 
    
  • Date Filter: Check this box to restrict the graph to a specific date range. Click this tab to define the range.
    • Starting Date: Type in the starting date for the graph using a mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy format as is consistent with how your data is displayed in the database (per Windows date/number format).
    • Ending Date: Type in the ending date for the graph using the same date format.
    • 
      
  • Stratigraphy Filter: Check this box to plot the data listed for a specific formation. Click this tab to select the formation name. (If left unchecked, all measurements will be included, given the date filter, above).
    • Filtering Formation: Select the name of the formation whose data is to be plotted. The formations will be listed from the Stratigraphy Types Table.
    • 
      
  • Miscellaneous:
    • BOE Conversion Factor: Click to the right to type in the Barrel of Oil Equivalent conversion factor. Gas production values will be mulitplied by this value and added to the Oil production numbers to generate a total production value.

• Other 2D Files
  Check this option to include existing RockWorks diagrams as layers with this diagram.
  Click on this tab to select the existing RockPlot2D files (.Rw2D) to be included. (More info)

• Peripherals
  Check this option to include various map peripheral annotations with your map. Options include titles, images, and more.

• Border
  Check this option to include a solid line border around the entire diagram image.
  Click on this tab to specify the line style, thickness, and color.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. Access the Borehole Manager program tab.
2. Enter/import your well production data into the database.
3. Select the Production | Single Well Diagram menu option.
4. Establish the program settings, discussed above.
5. Click the Continue button to proceed.

   The program will generate the requested graph(s). If requested, the completed plot will be displayed in a RockPlot2D tab in the Options window.

6. You can adjust any of the diagram options in main Options tab to the left (adjust diagram type, etc.) and then click the Continue button again to regenerate the plot.
7. View / save / manipulate / print / export the diagram in the RockPlot2D window.
