Production insights, field guides, and operator wisdom from the team that built the fastest-growing app in the oil patch.
The sales process is an important one, and a fair bit of time should be devoted to preparing for it. Once you’ve pumped, separated, and treated a load of oil, it should be made ready for testing and a
Read more →Crude oil, the fluid that’s pumped right out of the ground, is full of stuff that’s not oil, gas, or another hydrocarbon. Separation is the process of removing as much of that other stuff as is possib

Read more →Most oil can’t just be pumped out of the ground and sold. It needs to be treated, to one extent or another, to separate the water, sediment, and other contaminants from the hydrocarbons. There’s a few

Read more →Checking oil production is something that should be done on a regular schedule, if not daily. Each day of measurements adds to a record of production, which when taken as a whole can be an indicator o
