Update Production Using an External Data Source
This procedure explains how to update monthly or daily well production using PPDM (IHS or GeoLogic) or a corporate data hub. Using this method updates the currently selected wells.
Your External Data Settings in your User Options must be configured before using the PPDM update, which might require assistance from your Value Navigator Administrator.
If you want to update a subset of wells in your project, filter to those wells first. See Flag and Filter Entities.
If you want to schedule an update for a later time, or update a subset of wells based on a well list, see Schedule a Production Update and Update a Subset of Wells Using a Well List (.txt file) .
It is highly recommended that you review and understand the Fit Settings and Import Parameters in the User Options before importing production data. These settings affect how data is imported and how forecasts are created in Value Navigator.
To update production
- Do one of the following:
- Select your Data Source and click OK.
- Under Entity Selection, select the wells you want to update and click Next.
- (Optional) Edit the user or project options.
- Click Finish.
