The loudest well gets the rig. The biggest well gets the rig. The well the superintendent mentioned twice gets the rig. Meanwhile a $4,200 six-hour fix that is deferring 495 BOE sits behind a $118,000 workover that will never pay itself back at today's prices. This ranks every opportunity on the actual numbers — deferred BOE, gross lost value, cost per recovered barrel and risk — and tells you what to fix first, with the arithmetic shown so you can defend it on the call.

A 210 BOPD well down for four days looks worse than a 64 BOPD well down for two. Put gas in and the ranking flips: the small oil well was making 1,100 MCFD. Every barrel and every MCF gets counted, converted and priced.
Six crew hours and $4,200 to recover 495 BOE is $8.49 a barrel-equivalent. Sixty-two hours and $118,000 to recover 1,950 BOE is $60.51. The bigger job defers more — and is still the wrong one to send the rig to first.
Every score breaks down into its four weighted parts on the row itself. When someone asks why their well is third, you show them the arithmetic instead of defending a hunch.
Most operations run the morning call off a whiteboard and a shared spreadsheet with a rate column and a date column. That is enough to know what is down. It is not enough to know which one to fix first, because the answer depends on four things at once — what it is deferring in dollars, how long the fix takes, what the fix costs per barrel it brings back, and what gets worse if you leave it.
Hold four variables across a dozen wells in your head and you will consistently pick the big obvious well over the small profitable one. Every operator does it. It is not a competence problem, it is an arithmetic problem.
Enter the rates you would be making, the hours you expect to be down, the crew hours and the repair cost. The board returns deferred oil, gas and water, deferred BOE, gross lost value, net value of the fix, cost per recovered BOE and value per repair hour — then a 0–100 priority score and a recommended Next, Schedule or Monitor.
Change your oil price and the whole board re-ranks. Mark a job in progress and it stays visible; mark it done and it drops out of the comparison so the rest re-rank against each other honestly.
These are the exact formulas the app uses, and they are printed inside the app on their own tab. If your engineer wants to check a number on a calculator, they can — and they should.
6 MCF = 1 BOE energy-equivalent convention0.40 × Value + 0.20 × Speed + 0.25 × Efficiency + 0.15 × Risk| Component | Weight | How it is scored |
|---|---|---|
| Value | 40% | This row's gross lost value against the biggest in your queue |
| Speed | 20% | The shortest repair in your queue against this row's repair hours |
| Efficiency | 25% | The lowest $/recovered BOE in your queue against this row's |
| Risk | 15% | High = 100 · Medium = 60 · Low = 30 |
Value, Speed and Efficiency are scored relative to the rest of your queue, so the score answers "what first, out of these" rather than "is this job worth doing in the abstract". The top-ranked row and anything scoring 70 or more is Next; 40 to 70 is Schedule; under 40 is Monitor.
Well or asset name, and the crew or contractor who would take the job.
Oil in BOPD, gas in MCFD, water in BWPD — what it would be making if it were running.
Expected downtime hours, and the estimated repair hours the crew will actually be on it.
Repair cost, against your own oil price, gas price and optional water disposal cost.
Low, Medium or High — how much worse it gets if this one waits another week.
Planned, In progress or Done. Done rows leave the ranking so the rest compare honestly.

The three rows above are the worked examples the app loads on first open, at $70/bbl and $2.50/MCF. The biggest deferment ranks third — and it is the only one where the repair costs more than the value it brings back.
It does not know your permits, your rig availability, your take-or-pay obligations, offset well interference, or the conversation you had with the landowner last week. It does not forecast decline or model a restart curve. It takes the numbers you enter, applies published arithmetic to them, and ranks the result. The judgment stays yours — this makes it an informed one instead of a fast one.
Everything stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded, no account is created, and the app keeps working when the pad has no bars.
