Project Dependencies

Project Dependencies allow you to specify the start of an asset, based on the economic event of another asset. These economic events include:

After economic limit is reached
At a minimum oil or gas rate for the other asset
At a specific date

These dependencies are useful to model events, such as behind pipe reserves. For example, in a multi-zone offshore gas well, up-hole zones are sequentially completed after the down-hole zones become depleted. To model this in WellSpring, you would make each up-hole zone dependent (trigger on economic limit) on the immediate zone down-hole of it.

To set a dependency, select the dependent project, and edit its general data. See General Data for Assets. The asset general data screen looks like this:

Select the asset that this asset is dependent on, then select the trigger (see above for the different triggers).
