How do I find daily production volumes?

Daily production values in WellDatabase allow you to view production as barrels per day (bbl/d), gas per day (Mcf/d), or water per day (bbl/d) instead of monthly totals.

Because most state agencies report production monthly, WellDatabase calculates daily production values by dividing monthly volumes by the number of producing days in that month.

This gives users a quick way to compare well performance on a normalized per-day basis.

1. Navigate to the Overview or Production Dashboard in the Analytics
2. Select a daily rate metric:

How Daily Production is Calculated

Production data is reported by most state agencies as monthly volumes.

Daily production values in WellDatabase are calculated using:

• Total monthly production
• Number of producing days in that month

For example:

Monthly Oil = 9,300 barrels
Days Producing = 31

Daily Oil Rate = 300 bbl/d

This provides a normalized daily production rate for charting and comparison.
