Executive Summary
Primarily focused in the Mid-Continent region and Texas, Treadstone Energy Partners acquired a large field from a larger operator that used SCADA measurement for tanks and meters. The challenge was to translate the electronic SCADA readings, which came in constantly throughout the day, into a back-office system that could handle production management: allocations, sales statements, regulatory reporting, and more. They chose Total Asset Manager largely for its ability to automate data import, and because it handles AFE, drilling, and wellwork management in one system.
The Challenges
The challenge was to ensure proper state reporting was completed on schedule, all within a month's time. This required connecting SCADA readings from XPOC, a comprehensive SCADA solution by Dover, for use in Total Asset Manager for production accounting and operations.
The Solution
Total Stream Systems imported key metrics for production to position the data for import. Our developers then worked directly with the XPOC team to ensure proper access to readings for all oil, water, and gas meters, and made sure casing and tubing pressure readings could be easily obtained through a direct SQL-to-SQL connection.
A single reading for tank levels was configured to occur at midnight on each tank for a daily inventory, while summary gas and water meter readings were provided each day for a daily production value. Run tickets were also picked up from the SCADA system for sales reconciliation, so end-of-month allocations and state reporting could happen easily.
The combined effort of Treadstone, XPOC, and Total Stream Systems resulted in a true digital oilfield data flow for Treadstone at a reasonable cost.
“After talking with Jeff and the team at TSS we determined that they could provide us with a solution that was flexible and efficient to bridge the gap from our automation solution to an engineered solution.”
Results
Treadstone now runs production requirements, AFE management, and drilling and completion workflows on one operations platform. Total Asset Manager lets them keep growing, with reporting to management, partners, and regulators built on precise production and cost data.
“The team at Total Stream Systems has always executed promptly on the requirements to bridge Total Asset Manager 6.2 and XPOC, completing the implementation and custom coding within a month. They have since provided reliable and responsive service to ongoing requests from Treadstone. TSS has been a great value for Treadstone. Being a small operator we could not afford nor support a big company solution, but with TSS we have been able to reduce the amount of time wasted gathering data, so we can spend more time working on solutions.”
