User Wells

User Well / Loc*

Choose whether this is a Well, Location, or another type of user access (N/A).

If the User Well / Loc is a Well, enter the 16-character UWI. For example, 100132902512W400. The User Well does not have to exist in your Qbyte CS Land Well module. 

If the User Well / Loc is a Location, enter the 12-character number in either DLS (including M for meridian) or NTS format, without spaces or slashes. For example, 110800108W4M. Upon tabbing out of the field, the system will format the Location with spaces.

User Well Status*

File Status for the User Well, Validation table.

Description 

Used to describe facilities in more detail. Free-format up to 60 characters.  In the Invoice process, generate Invoices step, this description can optionally be shown on the Invoices.

User Well Status Date*

Enter the date of the User Well status. A different status date can be entered when the status changes.

Well Licence

Enter Well Licence with or without preceding provincial code as it appears in the industry source data.

• IHSData typically has the province code and uses a 7-digit licence number padded with preceding zeroes (for Saskatchewan and British Columbia). The licence can be entered with or without the province code, but the province code must be in UPPER case. The preceding zeroes should be retained.

• geoLOGIC (gDC) stores the well licence with the preceding zeroes for Alberta wells, but not for Saskatchewan or British Columbia wells. If using Geologic as the data source, do not zero-pad SK or BC wells.

This field is used by the Third Party Update Utility.  For wells that have been drilled the well licence number should be added to the User Well to get more accurate results. When the well licence number is entered all event sequences for the well licence are used to determine the appropriate TPA Status.  If the Licence is not entered, the UWI will be used.

Addendum Num

Optionally, enter the number for a related addendum. Free-format up to 20 characters.

Length 

Used to calculate One-time Fee (if Rate is entered) or Maintenance Fee (if Rate per Unit is entered). Unit of Measure (km/mi) defaults from the value entered on the Base tab.

Cost Centre

Enter the receivable cost center to which the user well Third Party fees should be debited.

Exclude from Utility*

Visible only when the Third Party Update Utility is activated.   Defaults to N (unticked). 

If you have any unique situations and do not want the utility to propose a TPA status for this specific User Well, then check the “Exclude from Utility” box.   In this situation, updates are made manually.  Since the exclusion is at the user well level it allows for other wells on an agreement to still use the Third Party Update Utility. 

Producing TPA Status

Visible only when the Third Party Update Utility is activated. Drop-down list that populates with Producing Status Types that are on the Maintenance (Maint) tab.

• If there is only one producing status in the Maint tab then it will be automatically populated into the Producing TPA Status field.

• If a user well has been drilled and there is more than one producing TPA Status on an Agreement then the overriding Producing TPA status should be entered on the User Well to prevent error messages in the Third Party Update Utility.   If the Producing Status is known at the time of entry, then add it at the time of entry. If Producing Status is not known, the Third Party Update Utility will request one be entered when the well produces.

Comment

Used for internal comments. Free-format up to 40 characters.

Fee Type*

Select the required fee type from the drop-down. Validation table (TPA One Time Fee).

Rate

Enter only if the Initial Consideration or One-Time Fee is calculated using the Length field. Leave null or zero out otherwise.

Amount

Amount is calculated by the system upon Save if Length and Rate (for this Fee) have been entered. If Length X Rate does not equal the entered Amount, Amount will be recalculated upon Save. Otherwise, enter manually.

Billing Date

Enter the date the Fee should be invoiced.  If a well has not been drilled, add the fee with no billing date.   If enabled, the Third Party Update Utility will propose a billing date once the well has spud. 

An Initial Consideration or One-Time fee will be billed according to the Billing Date that has been input:

• If the Billing Date falls within the specific Invoice Month that is being processed, the One-Time Fee will be included in the Third Party Invoice Process.

• Any One-Time fees that have a Billing date prior to the Invoice Month will also be included, as long as they have not been previously invoiced.

Invoiced

Y is displayed if the fee has been invoiced using the Third Party Invoice process. The fee will not be billed again and it cannot be amended or deleted.

TPA Status 

Maintenance Fee type. Only TPA Statuses added to the Maint tab are available in the drop down list.

If a user well has not been drilled then a TPA Status does not have to be entered, the Third Party Update Utility will propose a status when the well is drilled.

If a user well has been drilled then a TPA Status and Start Date should be added to the User Well so that the Third Party Update Utility and Third Party Process knows when to start invoicing the Grantee. If nothing is added a Drilling TPA Status and historical TPA Status activity will be proposed.

If the TPA status entered does not match public data, the Third Party Update Utility will propose a different TPA Status.

Note: $0 fees are included in a invoice process. 

• See  $0 Third Party Fees for discussion about setting up fees for $0.

Start Date

First day the TPA Status should be invoiced.  The Start Date must be at least one day after End Date of the previous TPA Status.

Validation exists to prevent an overlap in TPA Statuses for a period, but it is possible to bypass it. After saving, user should review dates to ensure that no more than one fee is being charged for any period.

Note: Although a drilling status is required on the Maint tab when the Third Party Update Utility is used, a drilling TPA status will not be proposed if the Start Date is more recent than the spud date.

End Date

Last day the TPA Status should be invoiced.  Should be left blank if TPA Status is current. 

Validation exists to ensure End Date is entered if a new TPA Status row is added.  End Date cannot be earlier than the Last Inv’d Date.

Last Inv’d Date

Display of the final day of the period for which the Fee was last invoiced. A new TPA Status cannot be entered with a Start Date earlier than this date.
