Load Field Data Spreadsheet

3
Load Field Data SpreadsheetEnergy Builder is a hydrocarbon accounting software system. The system is able to perform data capture,
calculate and check data, validate data, and generate reports.
Before the data is entered into the system, the data field spreadsheet needs to be deliver to the
administrator. The spreadsheet will need to be checked, and updated if needed. After the spreadsheet is
complete, Energy Builder will load the data from the spreadsheet into the system. Any data that has tags
can be imported, but any data such as well tests, field operations, and tickets will need to be inputted
manually. Additionally, users will have to input any downtime data into the system manually.
After the data has been input into the system, users are required to visually check the well test data, make
sure all of the data is available, and ensure the calculated data has been calculated correctly. Next, move
on to verify that the imported Energy Unit (well) data is correct. Lastly, check the flow stream data that was
imported from the spreadsheet, and calculate the data.
To perform allocation, the allocation network will need to be checked to see if any errors occur. If errors
have occurred, then users need to go back to check all the data. If no error occurs, then proceed to run the
allocation network. When all of the data is completed in the system, a report can be generated and printed
out. After everything is complete, the data will be validated and approved to prevent any further update. The
process ends when all of the data has been approved.

Receive Spreadsheet

5
A similar daily/monthly spreadsheet as above will be delivered by the customer. Once the spreadsheet had been
received, check and update the spreadsheet as needed. Sometimes, many things need clarified and corrected, so
checking and updating the spreadsheet between customers and eDataViz is a must. When the spreadsheet is
completed and ready, it will be loaded into Energy Builder.

Import/Input Data

7
12:01 AM – 1:00 AM
Before the workday begins for production operators, Energy Builder will use interfaces to
load all of the data from the spreadsheet into the system. This is done by the system using
tags mapping. Interfaces has Source Configuration, Import Data Function, and the Data
Loader function.
12:01 AM: SCADA/Historian database
totalizes and averages the FDC values
from the previous day.
12:05: AM: Energy Builder pulls data
from SCADA/historian systems, or the
systems push the data to EB. (This can
be done manually by operators at a later
time).
Depending on the way a production
operation collects production data.
Data can be:
1. Pushed to Energy Builder or pulled
from Energy Builder via an interface
service
2. Collected via mobile device such as
EB tablet by pumper
3. Recorded in spreadsheet by pumper
manually
1:00 AM: EB sends message to
operators and involved personnel
informing them if the data is
complete/error free

8
12:01 AM – 1:00 AM
Need something
The Source Configuration is designed to help the user configure the settings to import data
into the system. The user only needs to do this once, and the setting can be used
throughout the importing process. The user can configure more than one setting as needed.

9
12:01 AM – 1:00 AM
Need something
Import Data will import the data from a spreadsheet into the system by determining the type of source data
(Excel, PI, and SCADA). Spreadsheets will need to be chosen from a designated location, and the setting
will need to be selected. Since the setting is already configured with columns and rows, the system will
import data according to the pre-configuration, along with the correct date and time.

10
12:01 AM – 1:00 AM
Need something
The Data Loader is designed to load data that does not have tag. This function can load multiple rows at one
time. With the Data Loader, filling in the Table row is a must because it will determine where the data will be
loaded into. Additionally, the field will need to be added to the columns mapping area; this option replaces tag
mapping and is how the system will read the data from the spreadsheet and load it into the system (this
function applies for truck tickets).

11
Manually Enter Data
12:01 AM – 1:00 AM
Need something
Well test data will need to be entered manually in to Energy Builder. All of the corrected
data must go under the appropriate columns and for all three tabs (like an example above).
Well test data is important because it will be used for the theoretical calculation later for
wells.

12
Manually Enter Data
12:01 AM – 1:00 AM
Need something
Downtime data will need to be input manually, and all of the data must go under the
appropriate columns. This is used for historical records, and the calculation of how much
product will be lost during the downtime event.

Production Data Capture

Automated System
12:01 AM – 1:00 AM
12:01 AM: SCADA/Historian database
totalizes and averages the FDC values
from the previous day
12:05: AM: Energy Builder pulls data
from SCADA/historian systems, or the
systems push the data to EB.
Depending on the way a production
operation collects production data.
Data can be:
1. Pushed to Energy Builder or pulled
from Energy Builder via an interface

2. Collected via mobile device such as
EB tablet by pumper
3. Recorded in spreadsheet by pumper
manually
1:00 AM: EB sends message to
operators and involved personnel
informing them if the data is
complete/error free
Energy Builder’s automated system has already completed calculating and updating all of
the data necessary for the operator’s workday. As early as 12:05 am, Energy Builder
interfaces with a SCADA/Historian database in order to pull the previous day’s field data.
After the data has been collected, EB sends a message to the system operators and other
involved personnel. This message either informs personnel that the data is complete and
error free, or that it is incomplete and there are errors that require human intervention.

5:00 AM – 6:59 AM:
 Operator and Operation
Supervisor enter manual
field operation data
 Edit/verify SCADA and
Historian data

 Run and distribute
report
155:00 AM – 6:59 AM
Every morning at 7:00 AM production operators are required to produce and distribute a
morning report detailing the previous day’s production data. In order to accomplish this,
production operators will begin their day at 5:00 AM and verify that all of the data is complete
and properly entered. They will then run the daily allocation and create a morning report.
This report will first be circulated to all personnel involved in the daily morning meetings, and
then distributed to external stakeholders.

16
5:00 AM – 6:59 AM
Well Test Data Capture: Energy Builder users will open this page in order to input and manage data for well
tests throughout the facilities. The resulting data will then be utilized by Energy Builder in the allocation process.

activity of a tank.

19
5:00 AM – 6:59 AM
Well Data Capture: Energy Builder users will visit this screen to enter and manage data for the various
hydrocarbon wells throughout the facilities. As before, once operators have selected the appropriate filters, they
will ensure that the well data has been imported correctly. If the data has not been imported incorrectly, EB users
can manually enter in the correct data before continuing.

20
5:00 AM – 6:59 AM
Flow Stream Data Capture: Energy Builder users will come to this screen to enter in and manage (verify, edit, confirm) the various
hydrocarbon meters throughout the facilities. Once the operator has chosen the appropriate filters and selected the corresponding
meters, they will verify the metering data is imported correctly. If the data has not been import incorrectly, EB users will manually enter
the correct data before continuing or re-import the data again.

21
5:00 AM – 6:59 AM
Quality Data Capture: Energy Builder users will visit this page to store laboratory result data, as well as other
