WellOPS · Prioritization · Work Engine
The Work Engine is the most sophisticated prioritization engine in the oilfield.
What the Work Engine produces each morning: every open item priced and ranked on one ruler. Synthetic demo data, generated.
It is the APC of work management: continuously balancing cash flow, safety, and the proactive against the reactive. Running today at a top 25 private producer across 5,000+ wells in three basins. You buy WellOPS from WorkSync; the Work Engine is the prioritization capability inside it.

What it does
Seven capabilities that turn an unranked alarm queue into a priced, routed day.
- 01
Ingests OT, financial, and operational data on read-only connections
SCADA tags, historian trends, well tests and manual gauges on the OT side. Realized price by stream, working interest, lifting cost and cost history on the financial side. Equipment plans, regulatory clocks, crew qualifications and drive time for the constraints. Connections are read-only, stand up on credentials your team issues, and stay clear of your control network. - 02
Scores every well against what it should be doing, not a fixed threshold
Each well carries a model of its own expected behavior this week, built from its decline, its lift type and its recent history. A flag is raised on departure from that model, so the engine keeps working as wells decline and nobody re-tunes limits by hand across thousands of wells. - 03
Prices every flag in dollars per day at risk
Production at risk per day of inaction, valued at your realized price and your interests, discounted by how likely the intervention is to recover it and by what the intervention costs. A gassy well and an oil-weighted well with the same pressure drop come out an order of magnitude apart. - 04
Ranks proactive, reactive, safety and regulatory work on one ruler
One queue, not four. Regulatory deadlines stay absolute where the regulator sets them; everything else earns its position by what it is worth today. The reason a job ranks where it ranks travels with the job. - 05
Delivers the plan to the truck cab by 6 AM
Mobile and offline-first. Every crew opens their ranked list before leaving the yard, each line carrying what tripped, what it is worth, and what a good outcome looks like. - 06
Re-ranks mid-shift, within limits
Re-ranking fires on a defined trigger set (a well down, a higher-value flag, a crew change, weather) and pushes only to affected crews, behind a minimum-improvement bar so small re-orderings are not worth the cognitive cost. In-progress work is interrupted only by a safety gate. - 07
Learns from every close-out
Each completed job answers whether the flag was worth the visit. False positives, recovery outcomes, actual durations and every override with its reason code feed back into the scoring. Two operators can buy identical software; the one whose loop is closed accumulates calibration the other never gets.
What it replaces
Retires the workarounds your team has been stacking for years.

How it works
Three steps from your existing data to the truck cab, and back.
- 1 · Ingest
Your existing data, validated before it is scored
DataHub, included with the platform, pulls SCADA, production accounting, equipment history and asset lifecycle data into one well master. Sensor drift, stuck values and out-of-range readings are caught and quarantined first, because scoring an unrationalized queue produces precise rankings of garbage. - 2 · Rank
Every job priced in dollars per day, then sorted on one ruler
The engine assigns an economic-impact score to every open item: production at risk per day of inaction at your price deck and your interests, adjusted for recovery probability and intervention cost. Preventative maintenance, reactive anomalies, liquid management, safety and regulatory work all compete on that one number. - 3 · Execute and close
Ranked plan in the truck cab by 6 AM, outcome back by close-out
The Route Optimizer solves the ranked list into crew-specific days under qualification, hours and equipment constraints. Mobile, offline-first. The close-out generates the ticket and the accrual, and the outcome feeds the next ranking.

What the score is made of
Four terms, one number, one queue.
- 01
Exposure
What the well or facility is losing, or stands to lose, per day while the item sits: deferred production measured against what that well should be doing this week, plus the downstream consequence if it compounds into a shut-in or a workover. - 02
Value
Exposure converted to dollars on your realized price by stream, your working interest and your net revenue interest, net of lifting cost. This is the term that makes a BOE stop being a BOE and separates an oil-weighted well from a gassy one. - 03
Probability
How likely the intervention is to recover the exposure, learned from your own close-out history for that failure mode, that lift type and that crew type. It is what keeps a low-confidence long shot from outranking a certain fix. - 04
Cost and constraint
What the visit consumes: crew hours, drive time, equipment that has to travel with it, and any qualification that limits who can do it. Regulatory and safety clocks enter here as hard bounds rather than as score, because a deadline is not negotiable against dollars.
Worked illustration · not a measured claim
Two flags, same alarm class, two orders of magnitude apart.
Low-pressure flag, low-rate well
A few barrels a day of exposure, gas-weighted, high recovery probability whenever someone gets there, and a stop that adds an hour of driving. It ranks into the backfill and gets picked up when a crew is already nearby.
Same flag class, high-rate oil producer
Thousands of dollars a day of exposure at your realized oil price and your working interest, compounding while the well sits, and a qualified crew twenty minutes out. It goes to the top of the day.
A classical exception engine renders these two items identically: same color, same row height, same notification. The scoring is what separates them, and the routing is what acts on the separation.
The work loop
Every item has a state, and every state has a reason.
