Water volumes get audited too.

Produced water, disposal and transfer volumes carry the same accounting weight as oil and gas, and usually a fraction of the instrumentation. The platform measures them the same way it measures everything else.

Water is measured, not corrected

Water volume is the strapped volume, and production over an interval is the volume change plus what left on a truck. There is no thermal or gravity correction, and the platform does not imply one.

  • Volume change plus hauled volume — stated plainly.
  • Disposal and transfer volumes recorded with the same haul detail options as oil.
  • Ticket or manifest capture where the paper trail matters.

Facilities and stations

Plant, station and facility telemetry from the equipment already installed.

  • Equipment monitoring alongside the measurement points it serves.
  • Alarm conditions and call-out on facility tags, with on-call routing.
  • Control authority scoped per device group, the same as anywhere else.

The same provenance rules

Nothing about a water measurement is held to a lower standard than a production measurement.

  • Source, units, observation time and quality state on every value.
  • Missing is missing; it is never rendered as zero.
  • Corrections retain the original and flag anything they restate.

Why this is not a smaller version of the production story

Water is often treated as the thing you measure after you have finished measuring what you sell. The volumes are large, the handling costs are real, and the reporting obligations are not optional — but the instrumentation budget went elsewhere, so the measurement quality is usually a step behind.

That mismatch is exactly the case gauge capture was built for. A water tank with no transmitter, gauged daily by the same pumper who gauges the oil tanks, using the same phone and the same strapping tables, produces a volume with the same provenance as everything else in the system.

Common questions

Does water get a volume correction factor?

No. Temperature and gravity correction applies to oil and condensate. Water is volume change plus hauled volume. Any interface that implied otherwise would be wrong, and an operator would notice immediately.

Can we track disposal separately from produced volumes?

Yes. Hauled volumes are recorded with their destination where you capture full ticket detail, so disposal is attributable rather than a single aggregated number.

See it against your own wells.

A demo runs against synthetic data first, then against a read-only connection to your system of record if you want to see real numbers.
