User Data - Time series Arrays

Time Series

Time series user data can be used to track and report any array variables that WellSpring does not have by default. Some examples might include chemical injection volume, CO2 injection, Fuel Gas. These variables can then be reported (See Custom Reports) or used in user defined functions to generate opcost or capital values for an asset. Refer to User Defined Functions in the advanced topic section.

Arrays can be either monthly or yearly. See the Time Series Administration for information on creating the time series user data.

Start Date and time Shifting

Project/Company Data - entered at the Project level will start at the project start year (it can only start in January), and will be shifted with any shift in the project start year. For example, if an array starts in 2009 (January), and the project start is moved to 2010, the data will shift forward by 12 months.
Project/Company Data - entered at the Asset level will start at the asset start date (year and month), and will be shifted with any shift in the project start date (by 12 months for every year shift) This will shift the asset start date, which then shifts the time series array data). This data is also shifted monthly by any change in the asset start date (year, month)
Asset Level Data - Data will be shifted with an asset start date shift (by month) or with a shift of the Project Start date (by year). A shift in the project start date will automatically shift the asset start date by 12 months per year.

Examples

In the example below, the company and asset data are being shown at the asset level. The asset start date is June of 2009.

The asset is shifted by 5 months to November:

Both Asset and Company data have been shifted to November:

In the following example, the project start year (set at Project level) is shifted by 1 year:

Both Asset and Company data shift by 12 months:

Time series arrays can be used in the user defined functions. If an array is used for a function, its name should not contain any blanks. Eg "Table Data" should be named "Table_Data".
