General Settings

Use uncorrected ticket volumes in daily calculation

The default program behavior is to use the corrected (60°F and BS&W) crude oil run ticket volume when calculating daily production. To override the default behavior check this setting to use uncorrected (apparent sales).

Round daily oil production for color-cut tanks

The default program behavior is to calculate and display volumes to 2 decimal places (i.e. 52.45). To override the default behavior check this setting and all volumes will be rounded to the nearest whole volume (52 versus 52.45).

Require users to use cryptographically strong passwords

Check this setting to require cryptographically strong passwords. PRAMS defines cryptographically strong as 8 or more characters in length and any 3 of the following characteristics, lowercase and uppercase alphabetic characters, numbers or symbols. The default program behavior does not enforce strong passwords.

Require remark if down-code is specified in PumperX2

Check this setting to require the user to enter a Remark on days that a down-code is entered. The default program behavior does not require a Remark.

Use questionnaire to determine if Enhanced AVO Inspection is required

Will ask a short prompt to remind the pumper to do the inspection if required.

Set ticket date one day back from entry date in oil ticket entry

When entering a ticket in pumperX2 rather than default the ticket date to the entry date it will set the ticket date (used for reporting) one day back. Can help with end of month tickets.

Do not include water tickets on oil tanks in production in RtChex import

Excludes water tickets if assigned to an oil tank when the import runs.

Hide entered water column if tank or meters exist

By default if a water product exists on a site and is not hidden a 'Enter Prod' column will appear allowing for water entry. If checked it will remove this column to avoid confusion.

Daily Allocation

Number of days to review for the daily allocation

The daily allocation routine can be set to review data back as many days as desired and allocate new or changed data.  

The more days to review, the longer the process takes to complete.

APEN Entry Requirements

Enable manual entry rules for air pollution control equipment

The program is defaulted to 'on\off' prompt for APCE 'up\down' time.

Checking this changes the 'on\off' to a Time On and Time Off inferring the actual 'up\down' time is knowable.

PumperX2 - User Defined Columns

If you have daily field data-points to be captured\input that PRAMS does not provide for in the base program, 9 user definable column headings can be added to the PumperX2 input page.

THESE ARE DATA INPUT ITEMS ONLY - NO CALCULATIONS OR VALIDATION WILL BE CARRIED OUT ON THESE ITEMS.

The user defined data-points can be charted.

Daily Production Alert Parameters

Used to define daily production variance alert thresholds used in certain reports.

Variances thresholds can be distinctly set by product (oil, gas or water) by time period (day to day or day to 7 day average) by absolute volume or percentage. A zero-production alert is also available.

Gas Analysis - Mole % Balance

The program requires the Mole% to equal 100%. If the mole percentage of the Gas Sample being entered or imported does not total exactly 100% the rounding difference is added to Methane by default. To override the default select :the component to absorb the rounding.

BOE Factor

Enter the factor to be used in any BOE conversions displayed or reported in the program. Industry standard is 6 to 1. Gas MCF volumes are converted using the factor and added to the Oil product volumes to arrive at BOE.
