ProductionByWell

This endpoint returns monthly oil and gas production figures for a specific well. Oil production and gas production volumes are displayed in BBLS (barrels) and MMCF (1 million cubic feet) respectively.

Syntax

=SMX.ProductionByWell(Aggregate By, Operator, Region, Subregion, County)

Arguments

Parameter	Description	Example
Aggregate By	Specifies a parameter by which to aggregate data.	"date"
Operator	Limit search by the name of the operator whose wells to retrieve.	"A WILLIAMS OIL"
Region	Limit search by the name of the region where the wells are located.	"west"
Subregion	Limit search by the name of the subregion where the wells are located.	"Haynesville - TX"
County	Limit search by county where the well is located.	"Winkler"

Data can be aggregated by: county, date, operator, region, state_code, sub_region.

Note

Performance considerations: This function may take some time to retrieve and organize large amounts of data. For best performance, it is recommended to limit the number of input parameters and retrieve only the data needed for analysis.

Note

No Data: Output data will return “#No Data” when input data is invalid or does not exist.

Examples

1. To retrieve production by a specific operator in a specific region:

=SMX.ProductionByWell(,"INACTIVE OPERATOR", "gulf")

2. To retrieve production in a specific subregion and county for a specific date:

=SMX.ProductionByWell("date",,,"S LA","ACADIA")

3. To retrieve production with a specific operator and county:

=SMX.ProductionByWell(,"ZACHARY EXPLORATION",,"S LA",,,"2021-6-1","2022-6-1")

4. To retrieve production aggregated by date:

=SMX.ProductionByWell("date")

Output Parameters

Field	Type	Description	Example
date	string	Unsynced date on which oil and gas production starts. Date formatting - [“YYYY-MM-DD”]	“2022-06-01”
gas_daily	float	Average rate of gas production expressed per day (in BCF/day).	23.842
gas_monthly	float	Amount of gas produced over one month (in MMCF, or 1 million cubic feet).	98801.0
oil_daily	float	The amount of oil produced in a single day (in BBLS, or barrels).	112.9570761
oil_monthly	float	The amount of oil produced over one month (in BBLS, or barrels).	279.5
sub_region	string	Aggregation of several counties, typically representing a major producing basin.	“S LA”
water_daily	float	The amount of water extracted from the well during a single day (in BBLs, or barrels).	23.296827
water_monthly	integer	The amount of water extracted from the well during a one-month production period (in BBLs, or barrels).	947

Note

Unsynced data in the date column provides a date at the start of the month. However, the actual reported date is for the end of the month.

For example, if the reported date is “2022-1-10”, this means the data pertains to the month of January and was actually reported on “2022-01-31”.

This means that you should ideally interpret the reported date as representing the whole month, not just the specific date at the start of the month.
