I was recently having dinner at Pizarro’s, our favorite pizza parlor in Houston. This time we happened to visit the West Gray location, where I noticed they had 2 ovens, compared to the 1 oven at the Katy Freeway location we usually frequent. That’s when it occurred to me it would be fun to try and explain scalability using a pizza oven analogy.

Its main function is to provide a robust and reliable report delivery system that simplifies the process for the entire team. In this blog post we’ll delve into the two main mechanisms of delivering these reports: the Morning Report and the Afternoon Report (also known as a Partial Report). These seemingly similar documents serve distinct purposes, and understanding their differences is essential for efficient communication and decision-making.
In the following sections, we’ll break down the morning and afternoon reports, highlighting their use cases and benefits, and when to choose one or both.

Users of RigReports or Productioneer benefit from having direct access to a simplified data model of their transactional database that makes creating their own analytics easier.

We understand the significance of catering to the needs of the more technical users, such as engineering techs and database administrators (DBAs), who require direct access to the underlying database. RigReports offers various database access methods to accommodate their specific requirements, ensuring they have the necessary tools to effectively manage and analyze the data.

We understand that users have different levels of technical proficiency and diverse preferences when it comes to accessing and consuming reports.
To accommodate these varying needs, our app offers a range of options that cater to users with different levels of tech-savviness.

Data is the lifeblood of our applications, and ensuring its freshness is vital for accurate decision-making and analysis. While designing the WellOps platform, and later RigReports, we chose to implement a live database infrastructure to provide users with up-to-date and synchronized data across multiple applications and interfaces, eliminating the need for data synchronization between transactional and analytical databases.

At Mi4, one of our core beliefs revolves around empowering our users with unparalleled data ownership. We firmly believe that users should have complete control and access to their data, enabling them to make informed decisions, gain insights, and derive value from this digital asset.
To achieve this goal, we have developed a comprehensive roadmap that I will be talking about in a series of blog posts. Some of these measures are already implemented, and the rest we will be covering as we implement them so you can experience this journey with us in real time.

Especially when aggregating data, such as production volumes, to a daily level, and trying to connect multiple tables with date columns.
Some tables, such as tank levels or production volumes, could be based on a Gauge Date (aka Report Date) since the data is measured, aggregated, reported or “gauged” on that date (today), but in essence it is yesterday’s data, or to be more accurate, it is the data for the 24 hour period that began yesterday at the contract hour (e.g. 6am) and ended today at that same time, or the Production Date.
Other tables could have actual dates, such as sales tickets, run tickets, operation logs, etc.
