Custom Software for Oil Production Companies

Custom software for oil producers that tracks every well's maintenance, testing, and production history, and points you to the wells that need attention next.

Oil wells need a lot of expensive maintenance and testing, so knowing the productivity and service history of every well matters. When that history is scattered, an under-producing well can go unnoticed for a long time, and that costs real money.

J Street Technology has built custom software since 1994 for more than 600 clients. We build systems that keep every well's information in one place and use that history to show you where to look next.

What oil producers need to see

  • One version of the truth. Well operators and management working from the same up-to-date information.
  • Every well's full history. All the information needed for each well, with a comprehensive maintenance and service history.
  • Where to test next. Testing is expensive, so the history should point to which wells to test first.
  • Data from the field. Readings from automatic pump-off controllers on some wells, brought in without retyping.

Vaquero Energy

We're always 'drilling' for the next opportunity to identify problems and develop solutions in oil production. In an industry driven by strict safety procedures, our clients have posed unique and complex challenges that other developers aren't equipped to undertake — and we rose to the challenge with systems that save time and labor and increase revenue.

Vaquero Energy selected J Street to develop a custom system to track maintenance and efficiency across their field of over 500 oil wells in California. When the new application went live, it immediately identified an under-producing well, resulting in increased revenue of over $100,000 per year.

The Need

Vaquero Energy needed a custom system to track maintenance and efficiency for a field of more than 500 oil wells in Bakersfield, California.

The Solution

J Street built WellWatch. When it went live it immediately flagged a well for testing that turned out to have a problem no one suspected, quickly proving its value.

How it turned out

  • A centralized SQL Server database lets operators and management find, sort, and select wells that meet the criteria they choose.
  • An easy-to-use interface for entering and tracking everything about each well.
  • A data feed from the automatic pump-off controllers installed on some wells.
  • WellWatch keeps a comprehensive history of each well and uses it to suggest which wells should be tested next.
  • On go-live, it immediately identified an under-producing well, increasing revenue by over $100,000 per year.

Technologies: Access, SQL Server, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)

What we build for oil producers

  • Well tracking systems. Applications that record maintenance, testing, and production for every well in the field.
  • Testing priorities. Logic that uses each well's history to suggest what to test next.
  • Equipment data feeds. Bringing readings from field equipment like pump-off controllers straight into the database.
  • Centralized databases. A shared SQL Server database so the field and the office see the same numbers.
  • Reporting. SQL Server Reporting Services reports and Power BI dashboards.

How much does custom oil field software cost?

It depends on scope. As a rough guide, small new applications typically fall between $20,000 and $50,000, medium applications between $50,000 and $100,000, and larger systems above that. We'll give you a realistic estimate after a free consultation.

“I originally called on J Street Technology to deliver a narrow range of IT services to upgrade a database that supported oil well operations. During the planning phase of this project, J Street brought business process and workflow expertise to the table which greatly improved the utility of the upgraded database. Since J Street put care into estimating the timing and cost of the detailed deliverables, the finished product was delivered on time, on budget, and with outstanding quality. I was a very satisfied customer.”
