12.0 - Well Analytics
The Well Analytics window can be accessed by right-clicking in the Object Explorer and selecting Reporting > Well Analytics, or by selecting the Analytics option in the Home ribbon. It allows the user to search through their database and select wells based on various search criteria. The user can then plot these wells on google maps or compare them using several Key Performance Indicator (KPI) metrics.
On the left of the Well Analytics window is the database tree. This tree contains every actual well and well plan in the database. Clicking on the check box beside each well enables them to be included in the Map and KPI tab. The user can select these wells manually or using the filtering tools in the Search tab.

12.2.4 - Well Analytics KPI Reports Menu
Motor KPI: Once a search has been completed this button may be selected. Creates an excel motor KPI report, containing statistics for all motors used in the filtered wells that appear in the Wells section.
Motor KPI Summary: Once a search has been completed this button may be selected. Creates an excel motor KPI report for the filtered wells that appear in the Wells section. This is like the Motor KPI report but instead of listing individual motors is summarises them by manufacturer, size and state.
MWD KPI: Once a search has been completed this button may be selected. Creates an excel MWD KPI report, containing statistics for all MWD tools used in the filtered wells that appear in the Wells section.
Section KPI: Once a search has been completed this button may be selected. Creates an excel report containing statistics for each drilling phase in the filtered wells that appear in the Wells section.
Revenue Report: Only functions when a Date Range filter has been applied in the Search tab. This report lists every job running on each day inside the date range, along with the total revenue and number of rigs for each day.
Rig Days Report: Only functions when a Date Range filter has been applied in the Search tab. This report lists every job running on each day inside the date range, along with the number of rigs, the 30-day average rigs and the 10-day average rigs for each day.
Personnel Report: Only functions when a Date Range filter has been applied in the Search tab. Creates an excel personnel report for all wells within the date range. This lists all personnel in the database and shows the days that they worked within the set date range.
Rig Days Chart: Displays a chart generated using data from the Rig Days Report.
Revenue Chart: Displays a chart generated using data from the Revenue Report.
Well Ranking: Generates a Well Ranking report from the filtered wells that appear in the Wells section. This report shows which out of the selected wells performed the best in several different categories, as well as an overall score between 0 and 1 based on the performance of each well over all categories.
Well Ranking Weights: Allows the user to set how much each category affects the overall score of a well in the Well Ranking report. The user should enter a value between 0 and 1 in the Weight column. The user can also exclude a category from affecting the overall score entirely by unchecking the checkbox in the Included column.
Drill Records: This option is only available when connected to a remote server database. Opens the Drilling Records dialog, which allows the user to create a report containing rankings of the wells that have performed best in selected KPIs.
The user should choose the report format (Excel or PDF) from the Report Type drop-down. The number in the # Resultsbox sets how many results are in each ranking – for example a value of 5 will mean each ranking lists the top 5 wells.
The user should select the KPIs that they want to create rankings for in the KPI column. Currently there are four KPIs to choose from – fastest section, fastest ROP, longest section, and max footage per day. The user can optionally limit each ranking to a single phase and/or hole size if they wish, by choosing a value from the dropdowns in the Phaseand Hole Size columns.
Checking the Inc Non Drlg Hrscheckbox will factor non-drilling hours into the rankings. The Active column can be toggled off to disable a ranking and remove it from the report.
Once the user is happy with their setup, they can generate the report by clicking on the Create button.
Get well list from search grid: If this option is toggled on, reports generated from the KPI Reports Menu will be populated with wells in the Wells section. If it is toggled off, the reports will be populated by the wells that have been selected in the Database Tree.
