Production Dashboard

The Production Dashboard provides an integrated workspace for visualizing and managing production data across multiple wells within a field. It enables users to plot production trends from various wells on multiple graphs within a single interface, allowing for easy comparison and quick analysis.

In addition to visualization, the dashboard supports bulk operations such as applying functions, running user tasks, and executing workflows like aRTM and BHP conversions. Model results can also be displayed directly from the same workspace.

An interactive map and a well properties table can be included, providing a complete and centralized overview of the field’s performance.

Prerequisites

  • Production and pressure must exit under the well (s).

To create a Production Dashboard:

  1. Select the Field in the hierarchy.

  2. Click on the Production Dashboard, inl_production_dashboard.png, option in the top right toolstrip.

  3. Select a working set from the dropdown list.

  9. From the toolstrip, various data types can be displayed as plots, along with well properties sourced from a defined container.

    • Select the Main Phase:

      • If Gas is selected, the calculated PI is gas PI.

      • If Oil is selected, both oil PI and liquid PI are calculated.

      Productivity Index (PI) Calculation

      PI is calculated on the fly using:

      Equation 1. 
      PI=Qi(Pi-P(i))PI=\frac{Qi}{\left(Pi-P\left(i\right)\right)}



      where:

      Qi: the rate at step i

      Pi: the iniltial pressure

      P(i): Pressure at step i.

    • GOR and WC ratios can be plotted versus:

      • Liquid cumulative volume (if main phase is oil)

      • Gas cumulative volume (if main phase is gas)

    • Enable the Results option to add a results table.

      • A result container can be selected for each well.

      • Activating the Master container results option displays a unified table of well properties sourced from the master container.

    Tip

    Plot scaling and display options are available in the right-hand side vertical toolbar. See Plot Scaling and Display Options

Bulk operations

At the top of the wells table, you can perform bulk operations on the selected wells:

  • Select aggregator container results using inl_show_workflow_result.png.

  • Run a user task by clicking inl_user_task_in_bulk.png

  • Apply functions in bulk using inl_function_in_bulk.png

  • Execute the BHP workflow in bulk via inl_bhp_in_bulk.png

  • Run the aRTM workflow in bulk using inl_artm_in_bulk.png

  • Switch to single well selection using inl_create_well.png

Result view

The dashboard displays a combined view of all selected wells and plots. Several display configurations are possible:

Examples:

1- Plots with Data Types

This configuration shows production plots alongside time series channels, calculated channels, and any some data types selected from the catalog.

Prodcution_dashboard_results_view_1.png

2- Plots with Templates and Bar Charts

When templates and well‑property bar charts are added, the dashboard displays both dynamic plots and static property comparisons.

Defining Layout

The Production Dashboard supports saving and managing custom layouts, allowing consistent visualization across sessions or sharing configurations with other users.

  • Open the layout menu by clicking on inl_3_dots.png.

  • Select New layout.

    Add_new_layout.png

  • Provide a layout name and choose the storage mode:

    • Private: saved locally on the machine.

    • Global: saved in the database and shared with all users.

    Add_new_layout_saving_dialog.png

  • Once saved, layouts can be renamed using inl_rename_working_set.png or deleted using inl_delete_working_set.png.

  • When the dashboard configuration is changed (e.g., plot order modified, plots added or removed), a Modified inl_modifing_layout.png notification appears:

    Clicking the notification opens a dialog offering three actions:

    • Save changes: update the existing layout.

    • Save as new layout: create a new layout while preserving the original.

    • Restore layout: discard modifications and revert to the saved layout.

    Modifing_layout_dialog.png

  • To load an existing layout:

    1. Click oninl_saved_layout.png

    2. Select the desired layout from the list.

    3. Layouts can also be restricted to the current field, ensuring that the selected layout is automatically applied whenever the field is accessed.

Table options

  • Pivot option inl_pivot.png, swap between columns and rows

  • Show only values with values using inl_show_only_well_properties_with_values.png.

  • Show results container in the plot using inl_show_workflow_result.png and select the container from the dropdown list.

  • Apply a single unit for all properties sharing the same measure inl_sync_x_axis.png

Plot options

  • On individual plots, time scales can be switched using the (accessible through the Absolute,inl_change_time_scale.png , option), The available scales include:

    • Absolute time: represents the original date.

    • Production time: represents the time elapsed from the first rate.

    • Time from peak rate: represents the time elapsed from the maximum rate. The reference phase rate should then be selected.

    • Time on production: represents the time elapsed from the first rate, with shut-in periods excluded.

    Note

    Time scales such as production time, time from peak rate, and time on production are defined based on the selected phase.

  • Production rates can be normalized on individual plots using the normalize inl_normalize.pngoption). Available normalization methods include:

    • Oil cumulative production at 6 months (with or without using a reference well).

    • Gas cumulative production at 6 months (with or without using a reference well).

    • Well property (with or without using a reference well).

  • If measured data are missing, channels can be computed directly on individual plots using the inl_calculated_channel_if_measured_is_missing.png

  • On individual plots, the scale can be switched between linear and logarithmic by clicking the ,inl_log_scale.png , and selecting the desired axis (X or Y).
