Dashboard View

The Gas Lift Surveillance Dashboard was introduced in 2018 to meet user needs for more extensive surveillance options. The dashboard is very large and needs two screens to be used effectively. Most surveillance engineers will start by loading a sample of recent well tests either from an integrated database or a .csv import file into the grid in teh upper right corner. Cut and paste from other programs will also work since the other functions on the the panel pull the data from the grid as it is shown..

Each recent well test can be modelled by selecting the welltest and pushing the "Post selected ltest" button. The plots and reports will automatically update to reflect this new data. Each of the values on the left side of the panel can be adjusted to test those conditions. There are 4 ways to adjust a value:

1.	Type in the value and press Enter or F5 or the APPLY button in the center of the panel.

2.	Select the item that you want to change and move the slider at the bottom of the data group to the left or right.

3.	Select the item that you want to change and use the mouse roller to move up or down.

4.	Select the item that you want to change and use the arrow keys to move up or down.

The grid in the lower left shows all valves, with the current lift station highlighted in light green. On the right grid all the live valves are shown with the selected gas passage method highlighted in green.

The valve performance can be plotted for any valve by pressing the button on the left side of the row under the heading "Valve Prfmc." The same plot can be generated for arbitrary values of injection pressure at depth (+ extra pressure) by selecting the "Plot Qg fo..." button in the lower right side of the panel.

Since this panel is designed as an interactive dashboard there is no fixed order of data entry. It is designed as a what-if simulator for experienced Gas Lift surveillance engineers.
