PCWellfile is very flexible and can perform a series of property analyses and sensitivities that
would have been very time consuming to perform without the program. PCWellfile integrated
production data, workover information, pump information, deviation surveys, IPR analyses and
netback calculations for related work. Integrating information allows for quick and effective
technical evaluations.

PCWellfile is a template for "Production Engineering" and is instrumental in designing plans to
optimize well and pool performance. This software simply groups all the data that Production
Engineers use for day to day work and compiles a running history of all work performed on each
well. We have improved efficiency of our technical staff by providing them with critical data on
their desktop and retaining a knowledge base when individuals are transferred or moved.

With the recent drop in oil prices, PCWellfile has allowed us to manage downhole costs and
minimize production losses. The information assists us in making prudent decisions on
working over marginal wells for cost reduction. Prior to that, the program was used to review
well performance, focusing on production optimization. These reviews resulted in identification
of unrealized production and action to be taken. In properties that had limited production potential,
we performed cost analysis and identified opportunities for cost reduction.

We have established performance baselines and challenge our people to meet expectations
using measurable information. This was difficult and time consuming to do with our original
data systems.
