Create a Stream Price

Stream Prices are used by Value Navigator to calculate the sales price for each product. You can use stream prices from evaluator’s price decks, or create your own custom stream prices. The Sample price deck included with Value Navigator includes benchmark stream prices that you can use as a basis for creating your own stream prices. Stream prices can be grouped into Price Sets and applied to an entity or a set of entities. See Create a Price Set Stream prices use sparse data entry; you need only enter your price one time, and Value Navigator will continue to use that price until another is entered.

When a custom stream price is created in a particular price deck, it will have value only when that price deck is selected.

By default, the Stream prices are linked to the Henry Hub or WTI prices. Changing the Henry Hub or WTI price will cascade that change through all of the prices linked to those stream prices, applying any differential that has been entered on the individual stream price level. Grey backgrounds on fields in a stream price indicate that the value is entered manually and will not be affected by changing a higher-level stream price. You can also change a stream price value by adding a new differential, or typing over an existing differential.
