In Lens Upstream, users can now view gas production data by type. 3 new gas breakdown classifications have been included within the Field Production and Company field production summary tables within the Production dashboard. The new categories have been included in the ‘Liquid gas breakdown’ column and allow for more granular analysis of gas production to be carried out.
Note: Gas breakdowns are only provided for assets where breakdown data is available. Where there is no breakdown available, ‘Gas’ will be displayed.
The gas breakdown type definitions are provided below:
Associated gas: Natural gas initially in solution in the oil within the reservoir. The gas comes out of solution and is present as a separate phase at the lower temperature and pressure conditions at the surface.
Cap gas (or “gas cap”): Free gas phase overlying an oil zone and occurring within the same producing formation (reservoir) as the oil.
Free gas: Natural gas not in solution in the oil within the reservoir.
Gas: All gas types combined. (Included where breakdown data isn’t available)
