Group Status

This screen shows the current status of the wells that are in the selected group. This screen, laid out in a spreadsheet view, is used to get a quick and visual overview of the current operations of the wells. The data on this screen will reflect data collected during the last automatic or manual scan of the well. The columns on this screen can be sorted by double-clicking on the column headers. The sort order will reverse itself if the column header is double-clicked again.

COLUMN DEFINITIONS

Well
This column lists the name of the well.

Enabled
This column denotes whether the well is enabled for scanning.

• Green = Enabled
• Red = Disabled

A user can double-click on this cell to toggle the enabled state. A user may decide to disable scanning of a well if the well or controller will turned off. This makes the communications more effective by not wasting time on controllers that will not respond to a scan.

Communication Status
This column contains the communications status of the last attempt to communicate with the well. The status will either be 'OK' or 'CRC Error' or 'Timeout'.

• OK indicates that the system is successfully communicating with the POC.
• A CRC Error indicates that the communications may be happening, but that the data packets being transmitted from the controller are being received with errors. If this happens, no data will be updated in XSPOC.
• Timeout error indicates that there is no response from the well, potentially caused by a power failure, remote radio failure, bad controller address, etc.

Run Status
This column contains the running state of the well. The status will either be Running, Idle, or Shutdown.

TIS (Time In State)
This column reports you how many minutes the well has been in the current run state (running, idle, or shutdown). Depending on the controller, this value may not always be correct. Many controllers have an upper limit for this value (Baker controllers have a maximum value of 6000 minutes).

Alarms
This column indicates the highest priority alarm, or 'OK' if there are no alarms. Since a controller can have multiple alarms, a user can double-click on this cell to bring up an alarm summary screen which lists all of the alarms. The priority of the alarms can be set through an administrative function.

Host Alarms
This column indicates the highest priority host alarm, or 'OK' if there are no host alarms. Mainly host alarms are user defined by well and are set from the Data History Graph.

DRC - Down Reason Code
This column lists the code for the reason why the well is down. This code normally is extracted from a customer database. Typical codes might implemented for things such as worn pumps, rods parted, etc. If this cell is red in color, it indicates that the down reason code is not consistent with the run status of the controller. For example, if the customer database indicates that a well is down for a worn pump, but the controller states that the well is running, this cell would appear red to alert the user to this discrepancy. Similarly, if the well is missing a down reason code but the controller states that the well is shutdown, red would also be shown.

Comment
This is a column that can be used to store any comment that the user wants to associate with the well. Double-clicking on the comment cell allows the user to edit the comment.

% RT (Today's Run Time)
This column shows the well's runtime for today. It can be shown in either percentage or hours, depending on the setting of an administrative parameter.

% RTY (Yesterday's Run Time)
This column shows the well's runtime for today. It can be shown in either percentage or hours, depending on the setting of an administrative parameter. This cell will highlight in red if the value falls outside the typical operating range for this well (using SPC, or Statistical Process Control). It will also highlight in red if the value exceeds the range specified by the administrator. The well's color scheme is directly related to the Operational Type for that well (setup in the 'Well Config' screen). If a well is identified as a 24-hour operating type, then the cell will highlight red only if the runtime falls below the specified upper limit. For a cycling well, it will highlight red if it is below or above the specified limits. The cell will highlight yellow if the well has a high degree of variation in its data, indicating that the SPC limits are too broad and that there may be a problem with the operation of the well.

Cycles
This column indicates the number of times that the well has cycled today. Some controllers do not support this function.

Yesterday's Cycles
This column indicates the number of times that the well cycled yesterday. Some controllers do not support this function. This cell will highlight in red if the value falls outside the typical operating range for this well (using SPC). It will also highlight in red if it goes outside a range specified by the administrator. The color is also affected by the Operational Type specified for the well (setup in the 'Well Config' screen). If a well is identified as a 24-hour operating type, then the cell will highlight red only if the runtime falls above the specified lower limit. For a cycling well, it will highlight red if it is below or above the specified limits. The cell will highlight yellow if the well has a high degree of variation in its data, indicating that the SPC limits are too broad and that there may be a problem with the operation of the well.

% Fill
This column reports the pump fillage percentage. This value is reported by the POC (some controllers do not support this). This value is of interest on POC operations where the well is set up to not cycle. It is useful for monitoring the pumped-off state of the well, particularly in heavy oil, non-cycling wells.

Pump Condition
This column reports the pump condition from the last XDIAG analysis run on the well. Examples of pump conditions would be 'Leaking traveling valve' or 'Worn pump'.

Oil
This is the oil production rate, measured from the last well test.

Last Good Scan
This is the date and time of the last successful communications to the well.

%Comm
This is the percentage of successful communications since the communications statistics were last cleared. This event normally happens at midnight, but is controlled by an administrator setting.
