OGP Daily Production
Written by Brandy Burch
Updated at April 9th, 2025
Enter daily gauges and meter readings for your storage facilities to track inventory. If you are not tracking inventory, this is not needed.
Although manual entries are an option, importing this information can save a lot of time. Please see Imports for more information.
Notes on daily gauges and meter readings.
- The production date must be in the current cycle or after.
- The production cycle runs from the 2nd of the month through the 1st of the following month since readings will occur the day after production. This is for reporting purposes.
- Example: Readings entered on 01/02/23 as of 07:00 AM will be for the production from the previous day, 01/01/23.
- Production entered on 1/1/2023 will pull into the 12/2022 cycle.
- The system will display an error message if the production date is invalid for the current cycle or after.
- Also, see OGP Date Scenarios
A daily note can be added to the screen in the Notes field.
| Daily Production Maintenance | |
|---|---|
| Property | Property number where the production occurred. |
| Production Date / Time | Date and time of gauge reading. |
| Injection Fluid Volume / Fluid Pressure | The volume and pressure in which gas, water, or LPG is injected into a producing formation. This is a memo only field. |
| Tubing Pressure |
Pressure on the tubing in which the oil or gas is produced. This measurement is taken at the wellhead. This is a memo only field. |
| Gas BTU per Cubic Ft. | 1 cubic ft of natural gas = 1000 BTU. This is a memo only field. |
| Notes | As needed regarding the production. |
| Tank ID | All tank / meter numbers associated with a specific property. |
| Product | Product defined on tank / meter. |
| Feet / Inches / Counter | Readings of tank / meter. |
| Gross Bbls / MCF | Volume based on the feet / inches of the tank or the volume of a meter. |
| Adjustment Factor | Number that the Gross BBLs / MCF is multiplied to reach the accurate volume per each meter. |
| Product / Produced | Product type and the change in the reading, allowing for sales and dispositions. |
| Dispositions | How a product was disposed of. Usually this is a state regulatory agency established code. |
| Oil Volumes Since Last Reading as of... |
Defines the beginning and ending counts and the activity that occurred within the current cycle month. Beginning Reading - Rolls from ending reading on the previous entry. If there are multiple tanks, the system will add them together. Production – Daily Production readings will be the changes in readings. Sales – totals of the Run Tickets since the last Ticket. Other Disposition – entries into the Disposition section Ending Reading – The total from the amounts above. This will also be the beginning reading on the next entry. |
TECH TIP: The following tip is for a company that has existing production within the system: To get the beginning balances into the system, for example, December 20XX, go into Daily Production and enter daily readings for November 20XX (usually dated the last day of the month). Then, start a cycle (for November 20XX) and update it. This will establish the beginning balances for December 20XX (so that the user may go into #10 Daily Production and enter their normal daily readings for December 20XX). The Tank ID box also has a tank adjustment factor that is adjusted every time a run ticket is entered so that the tank correction is stored at the tank level. Additionally, the production month is from the second of the month to the first of the following month.
