Field production data captured on paper or offline spreadsheets at remote sites, then reconciled by hand when the supervisor is back at the office.

Cost-per-barrel / cost-per-tonne that the finance team rebuilds every month from the same export, the same way, with the same late corrections.

Fleet and equipment tracking - hours, fuel, downtime - that lives across three spreadsheets maintained by three different people, none of them complete.

Sample layout

Oil and gas production tracking spreadsheet

Most production workbooks go wrong because each site keeps its own layout. Start with one long table - one row per well per day - and calculate everything else from it. This is a sample structure, not a client file.

ColumnWhy
DateOne row per well per day
Well / leaseMatches the names in your cost data
Oil (bbl)From the gauge sheet or SCADA export
Gas (mcf)From the meter export
Water (bbl)Needed for water cut
Hours onDrives uptime
Downtime reasonDrop-down list, not free text
KPIFormula
BOE= Oil + Gas / 6
Water cut %= Water / (Oil + Water)
Uptime %= Hours on / 24
LOE per BOE= Monthly lease operating expense / Monthly BOE
Month-on-month decline= This month BOE / Last month BOE - 1

Each site drops its daily CSV into a shared folder; Power Query stacks them into the table above, and a pivot or dashboard shows production by well, water cut and LOE per BOE. Operators in Texas can see how this works remotely on the Houston page, or start with a free audit of your current workbook.

Example engagement

Typical mid-size upstream operator

Sample scenario - not a client engagement
Problem
Field production captured on paper at three remote well-sites, reconciled by hand into a single monthly spreadsheet. Cost-per-barrel rebuilt every month from the same export with the same late corrections.
Approach
I would build a Power Query pipeline that pulls each site's CSV from a OneDrive landing folder into one workbook. Field production on one tab, cost-per-barrel on another, fleet utilisation on a third. Validation checks catch stale or missing sites before the report shipped.
Outcome
Designed so engineering and finance read the same cost-per-barrel number, with the monthly report and statutory template refreshed from one source.

Frequently asked

Before you hire an Excel consultant for oil & gas.

Can you handle field sites with intermittent connectivity?

Yes - the pattern we use is local data capture with a sync step when connectivity returns. Power Query pulls from a OneDrive or SharePoint landing folder; if the file is stale, the validation check fails loudly and the operator sees a clear message in the report.

Do you build statutory reports (PIROP, monthly production, royalty)?

Yes - those are usually a refresh of the field production workbook into a fixed template, with validation checks that catch missing rows or out-of-range values before submission.

What should an oil and gas production spreadsheet include?

One row per well per day: date, well or lease, oil (bbl), gas (mcf), water (bbl), hours on and a downtime reason. From that one table you calculate BOE (oil + gas ÷ 6), water cut (water ÷ (oil + water)), uptime (hours on ÷ 24) and, with monthly operating costs, LOE per BOE.
