Upstream Production Management System
From field data to management decisions, real-time and audit-ready
An integrated system to monitor production by well, pad, field, and asset; perform allocation; calculate losses; manage downtime; and produce operational, financial, and compliance reports with end-to-end audit trails.
Executive outcomes management cares about
Focused on production transparency, higher reporting accuracy, and tighter control of production losses.
Why this Upstream Production Management System matters
Many upstream companies lose time and decision quality because production data is scattered (SCADA, Excel, email), KPI definitions are inconsistent, allocation processes vary, and compliance reporting is time-consuming. This system is built to ensure the production numbers used by management and regulators are always consistent, fast, and defensible.
Production numbers everyone can trust
End-to-end data lineage from sensor/operations to reports, including changes, approvals, and correction reasons.
Faster production close, without the chaos
Structured validation and approval workflows, with exception handling and automated reconciliation.
Turn loss and downtime into action
Downtime analytics, loss accounting, Pareto root cause, and recommended actions for operations teams.
Core capabilities
Built for complex upstream environments: multi-field, multi-product, multi-measurement points, and cross-functional approval processes.
Real-time Production Monitoring + Exception Alerts
Daily production dashboards, trends, and KPIs by well, pad, field, asset, and company view.
- ✓Daily production book: oil, gas, water, condensate, steam, flare
- ✓Threshold alerts: abnormal decline, pressure anomaly, high water cut
- ✓Data quality flags: missing tag, sensor drift, outlier detection
- ✓Operational notes and attachments: field photos, logs, approval notes
Allocation + Production Accounting
Flexible allocation engine based on your company methods (metered, prorate, test-based, factor-based) with full audit trails.
- ✓Multi-stage allocation: well to gathering, gathering to processing, processing to export
- ✓Custody transfer readiness: measurement points, meter factors, corrections, shrinkage
- ✓Reconciliation: SCADA vs manual readings vs laboratory vs shipments
- ✓Close process: draft, validate, approve, lock, re-open with reasons
Downtime, Loss and Deferment Management
Standardize downtime and deferment logging so production losses can be calculated, trended, and actioned.
- ✓Downtime taxonomy: planned vs unplanned, mechanical vs process vs power
- ✓Deferment calculation: potential vs actual, well capability, constraint-based
- ✓Pareto and RCA: top contributors by asset, equipment, and team
- ✓Corrective action workflow: assign owner, SLA, evidence, closure
Regulatory + Management Reporting
Reports ready for management, partners, and regulators with consistent KPI definitions.
- ✓Daily and monthly production reports, allocation statements, variance analysis
- ✓Compliance pack: audit trail, change log, approval log, exception log
- ✓Executive dashboard: production vs plan, uptime, estimated loss cost
- ✓Export to Excel/PDF + scheduled distribution (internal email)
Complete modules for Upstream
The modules are designed to be modular, so you can start with the most urgent needs and expand to enterprise scale. All modules include role-based access, workflows, and audit trails.
Well, Field and Asset Master
Upstream data structure: asset, field, pad, well, completion, zone, facilities, measurement points.
- ✓Hierarchy + ownership + partner share
- ✓Well status lifecycle: drilling, producing, shut-in, suspended
- ✓Equipment registry: separators, compressors, pumps, meters
Production Data Capture
Daily inputs from SCADA, manual readings, lab tests, and field reports, with data quality validation.
- ✓SCADA tag mapping + historian imports
- ✓Manual entry forms with range and outlier controls
- ✓Batch uploads: CSV/Excel templates
Allocation Engine
Configurable allocation methods aligned with company policy and facility characteristics.
- ✓Metered, prorate, test-based, factor-based
- ✓Shrinkage, flare, fuel gas, losses
- ✓Scenario recompute before close
Production Close and Governance
Clean monthly close with approval matrices, period locking, and controlled re-open.
- ✓Draft to approved workflow
- ✓Change request log + reason codes
- ✓Auto-generated audit packs
Downtime, Loss and Deferment
Measure downtime impact on production and track corrective actions.
- ✓RCA taxonomy + Pareto
- ✓Owner assignment + SLA
- ✓Loss cost estimates (optional)
Well Test and Performance
Well test schedules, results, PI trends, water cut, GOR, and performance drop flags.
- ✓Test plans, results, validation
- ✓Well KPI trends by period
- ✓Exception lists for workover candidates
Facilities and Operations Logbook
Daily operations log for shift handovers and operational continuity.
- ✓Shift logs + supervisor approvals
- ✓Permit references (optional)
- ✓Evidence attachments and photos
Liftings, Export and Shipment
Track liftings and shipments for production reconciliation and custody transfer.
- ✓Nominations, schedules, actual liftings
- ✓Shipment document packs
- ✓Variance: produced vs exported vs stored
BI Dashboard and Executive Cockpit
Concise management views: production vs plan, uptime, losses, and risk flags.
- ✓Asset overviews + drilldowns
- ✓Top issues: downtime, deferment, integrity alerts
- ✓Scheduled reports and KPI packs

Executive Production Cockpit
Today's production vs plan, variance, uptime, deferment, and top 5 constraints.
Loss and Downtime Analytics
Loss and downtime Pareto by asset, equipment, and reason codes, including weekly trends.
Allocation Statement
Reconciliation from well to export, shrinkage, flare, fuel gas, and allocation results by partner.
Field Ops Logbook
Shift handovers, key events, permit references, downtime start/stop, and evidence.
Integration, access controls, and audit trails
An upstream system must coexist with SCADA/historians and also support internal governance.
SCADA / Historian Integration
Import tag data, mapping, scheduled jobs, and data quality rules to ensure numbers are ready to use.
ERP / Finance Integration
Production, allocation, and lifting outputs for production accounting and financial reporting needs.
Role-based Access + Audit
Access rights by asset, function, and menu. Every change is fully recorded: who, when, what, and why.
A safe implementation approach for operations
Upstream operations cannot stop because of an IT project. Implementation is done in phases, prioritizing quick wins.
Phase 1: Stabilize production numbers and dashboards
Start with master data, data capture, dashboards, and daily reporting. Focus on consistent definitions.
- ✓Well/asset hierarchy + measurement points
- ✓Daily production book + alerts
- ✓Executive cockpit
Phase 2: Allocation, close, and audit packs
Move into allocation engines, close processes, governance, and reconciliation across data sources.
- ✓Allocation method configuration
- ✓Monthly close workflow + lock
- ✓Audit trails and exception handling
