Volume Categories and Volume Types Volume types are defined for production, and are linked with volume categories. Volume types are used in PRA allocation processes.
The following are the volume categories used in PRA:
Volume category |
Volume category description |
Actual (A) |
Defines volume types that are calculated by the system. The alternative is manually-maintained volume types. |
Fuel (F) |
Defines product dispositions (volume types) that are considered fuel consumption volumes. These can be calculated by the system based on operating hours and consumption /firing rates of the device, or by providing the volumes. |
Inventory (I) |
Defines volume types that are considered product storage/inventory volumes. These VTs potentially represent both opening and closing inventory volumes. When recorded at a measurement point level, these VTs will be considered “closing” inventory. |
Lease (L) |
Defines dispositions (volume types) that are part of an exchange between well completions on the same lease. These will be calculated by the system when exchanges for gas lift, formation injection, etc. are required. In an exchange, PRA (Production) will create two transactions: the “exchange from” side is a “lease” VT category volume and the “exchange to” side is a “non-sales” VT category volume. |
Non-sales (N) |
Defines product dispositions (volume types) that are considered all product dispositions other than sales or fuel/lease use. This volume type (VT) is also used in exchanges between wells on the same lease on the “exchanged to” side. |
Other (O) |
Defines volume types that are considered non‑final product disposition volume types (plant total PVR is an example of “other”). This VT is NOT considered to be part of “calculated production, ” but its volume needs to be captured. This VT has little affect on PRA processing. |
Production (P) |
Defines volume types that are considered to be measurement of product production. These VTs are not part of “calculated production, ” but are used in the allocation process (as allocation basis) and for determination of meter differentials. |
Receipts (R) |
Defines volume types that are considered to have been received from an outside source - from another well on the same lease, from a well on another lease, from a plant, facility, or a third party. This VT does not include the portion of a product disposition produced by the well. |
Sales (S) |
Defines product dispositions (volume types) that are considered to have been sold. Note that calculated production is determined at a well level, based on the volume type categories: CALCULATED PRODUCTION = Fuel + Inventory + Non Sales + Sales ‑ Lease ‑Receipts |
The following volume types can be used in PRA:
Each volume type is associated with a specific volume category, which is listed as part of the volume type descriptions. The number ID before each volume type refers to the volume type code ID. “System-generated” refers to whether or not the volume type is generated as part of the system processing, or, if not, that it is manually entered (by a user).
00 - Directed Volume VOLUME CATEGORY: Other PRA USES - Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: Yes Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: No Plants: Yes
|
01 - Measured Production This is a measured volume that represents the amount of flow of product through a particular stream. This volume is usually a ‘real’ (as opposed to theoretical) measured volume that is associated with a meter. In PRA, this volume can be entered on allocation or deduct meter MP types. This volume type can also be used on an allocation or deduct meter, if the volume is to be calculated from stream downtime and well tests, if used in multiple stream allocations. VOLUME CATEGORY: Sales PRA USES - Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: No Revenue: Yes (OA, VL, RD) PRODUCT SPECIFIC: Gas Plants: Yes
PRODUCTION: Volume used as the “metered” volume, if downstream from a well completion whose theoretical calculation method is “metered” volumes. Also used to control proration of volumes at the measurement point level. |
02 ‑ Adjusted Plant Production This is the volume that is calculated from metered plant inlet (83), less plant loss (48), vent/flared (45), plant fuel (24), unaccounted for in transportation (96), residue sold (57) and adjusted for meter differential (43). This volume type is used in plant allocations. VOLUME CATEGORY: Production RA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: Yes Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: Gas Plants: Yes
|
03 ‑ Sales 1 This is the volume that is considered sold to third parties and/or from leases to plants or to other leases. VOLUME CATEGORY: Sales PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: No Revenue: PRODUCT SPECIFIC: No (CA, VL, RD, JE): Yes
PRODUCTION: Observed conditions MUST be recorded with the volume. Defaults are not used on VD screens. A transporter must be recorded with a sales volume. If there is one purchaser related to this particular sales point and transporter, then PRA production will also set the purchaser. |
04 ‑ Closing Inventory‑Liquids Stored liquid product volumes including plant products, oil, and condensate. This volume indicates the end of the month inventory. VOLUME CATEGORY: Inventory PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: No Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: Yes (1xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx) PRODUCTION: Can be determined using gauge readings, meter readings, or by simply entering a “measured” volume on the measurement point volumes screen. It is normally recorded at either a tank measurement point or a tank battery measurement point. The tank battery CAN be used in the instance where there are multiple tanks and a single inventory volume is to be recorded. Closing inventory for one month (allocated to wells) is rolled forward as beginning inventory for the subsequent month (at the well level). |
05 – Retrograde Sales VOLUME CATEGORY: Production |
06 ‑ Stored Gas Volume of gas stored. VOLUME CATEGORY: Inventory PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: No Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: Yes (2xx, 6xx) Plants: Yes
PRODUCTION: Used as a gas product final disposition (not in a fuel system). PLANTS: Stored gas can be associated with a plant. |
07 ‑ Check Meter Volume Volume measured (metered) to verify sales meter readings or other measured production (VT 01) amounts. It is NOT used to adjust the allocation to wells. VOLUME CATEGORY: Production PRA USES: Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: No Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: No PRODUCTION: Allocated back to a well and can be used as a theoretical volume for dependency allocations. |
08 ‑ Plant Other VOLUME CATEGORY: Other PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: No Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: No |
09 ‑ Lease Fuel ‑ Exchanged To When a well completion uses more lease use volume than what it produced during a month, the first action in PRA is to transfer product from other well completions on the same lease to the extent that the other well completions have the product available. This volume type identifies the volume transferred to the well completions that is short from another/other well completions on the same lease to make up the shortage. See VT 19 for the receipt side. VOLUME CATEGORY: Non‑sales PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: Yes Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: Gas PRODUCTION: Used in volume allocations and in allocated results. PRA will automatically determine and record at the well completion-level on both sides of the exchange: on the well completion receiving the exchange (VT 19 ‑ exchange from) and on the well completions contributing to the exchange (VT 09 ‑ exchange to). |
10 ‑ Lease Fuel Before PM ‑ On Lease Lease use gas (fuel) used on the same lease that produced the gas.

VOLUME CATEGORY: Actual PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: Yes Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: Yes (2xx) PRODUCTION: System-generated VT based as a sum of gas lift VTs at the well completion level: Reproduced G/L Gas (VT16) = GLG Own Well Compl (VT 51) + GLG Exchange From(VT 53) + GLG Prchd From Off Lse (VT 55). |
17 ‑ Formation Production When Gas Lift Volume of gas produced in excess of gas lift gas reproduced, determined at well completion level. VOLUME CATEGORY: Actual PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: Yes Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: Yes (2xx) PRODUCTION: System-generated VT based on the difference between reproduced gas lift gas (VT 16) and calculated production (VT 91), both at the well completion level. Formation Production When Gas Lift (VT 17) = Gas Lift Gas Reproduced (VT 16)(-) minus Calculated Production (VT 91) If the difference is negative (more calculated production), then the difference is considered formation production when gas lift (VT 17). If the difference is positive (more reproduced gas lift gas (VT 16), then the difference is considered gas lift gas loss (VT 60). |
18 ‑ Formation Inject‑ On Lse Volume of product injected in the same formation and on the same lease where the product was produced. VOLUME CATEGORY: Non‑Sales PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: No Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: No PRODUCTION: This is an estimated or metered volume used as formation injection on the lease that produced the product. |
19 ‑ Lease Use ‑ Exch From When a well completion uses more lease use product than what it produced during a month, the first action in PRA is to transfer product from other well completions on the same lease to the extent that the other well completions have the product available. This volume type identifies the volume received by the well completion that is short from other well completion(s) on the same lease to make up the shortage. See VT 9 for the Exchanged-to side. VOLUME CATEGORY: Lease PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: Yes Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: Yes (2xx) PRODUCTION: Used in volume allocations and in allocated results.

27 ‑ Tank Cleaning Also referred to as water draw-off. PRA treats it as a disposition of production. It is a reduction in stocks when tanks are cleaned or “bled-off” to remove excess or all BS&W (basic sediment and water) from an oil storage tank. This can be oil or condensate. VOLUME CATEGORY: Non‑Sales PRA USES ‑ Production: Yes SYSTEM GENERATED: No Revenue: No PRODUCT SPECIFIC: Yes (1xx (Oil), 3xx (Cond) PRODUCTION: This volume should be entered as a negative volume, resulting in a reduction of calculated production. |
