Vaquero Energy Case Study
Need:
To track maintenance and efficiency of 500+ oil wells.
Solution:
WellWatch immediately identified an under-producing well and boosted Vaquero’s annual revenue by $100,000.
Technologies used:
Access, SQL Server, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
Vaquero Energy selected J Street to develop a custom system to track maintenance and efficiency for their field of over 500 oil wells in Bakersfield, California. When WellWatch went live, it immediately suggested that a particular well be tested. Although nobody suspected that the well had a problem, they followed the system’s advice and tested it. To their surprise they found that it was malfunctioning. Fixing that one pump resulted in increased revenue of over $100,000 per year. Vaquero continues to use J Street to enhance WellWatch including incorporating automatic oilfield production readings, tracking oil well equipment inventory and optimizing preventative maintenance schedules.
