Production Allocation & Back-Allocation
In one sentence
Splits the metered facility total back to individual wells with a documented, repeatable method instead of a spreadsheet nobody can audit.
The problem
Well-level production numbers are the foundation of reserves, reservoir management and partner reporting, and in many fields they come from a spreadsheet chain maintained by one person with undocumented adjustments.
How it works
Allocation runs as a defined, versioned calculation from metered sales points back through the network to the well, using test factors, uptime and virtual metering where available. Every allocated number retains its full derivation, so any figure can be traced back to the meter reading that produced it.
Data required
- Fiscal and check meter readings at every custody point
- Well test results with dates and durations
- Well uptime and downtime records
- Network topology: which well flows to which manifold, separator and train
What you get
- Daily and monthly allocated volumes per well with full derivation
- Imbalance report between metered and allocated totals with the gap attributed
- Audit trail suitable for partner and regulatory reporting
What it cannot do
Allocation cannot create information the metering does not contain. In a field with a single test separator serving two hundred wells, the well-level numbers carry an irreducible uncertainty that no method removes — this capability makes that uncertainty explicit and traceable, which is often an uncomfortable first result for the operator.
Every capability page states a real limitation. If a vendor cannot tell you where their product stops, you are not being told the truth about where it starts.
