You know the trucking rate and you know the disposal fee. What you do not know, well by well, is which of the two is eating the money, what the same barrel would cost down a pipeline or through recycling, or how far you would have to haul before trucking stopped being the cheap option. That sits in a spreadsheet somebody built two years ago and nobody trusts.
Enter the volume, the haul distance and your own rates for each well. The planner does the rest and keeps every well on the device between visits.
Every well shows transport and handling as separate figures per barrel, then the all-in. You can see at a glance which half dominates, which is the half worth attacking.
Truck to disposal, pipeline to disposal and recycle-and-reuse, side by side and ordered by all-in cost per barrel, with the difference against the route you are on in both dollars per barrel and dollars per month.
Only trucking carries a distance term, so the planner solves for the mileage at which trucking stops beating pipeline, and the mileage at which it stops beating recycling, on the rates you entered.
Total cost per day and per month, the blended cost per barrel across the lease, and the single well carrying the highest cost per barrel so you know where to start.
1,450 bbl/day, hauled 38 miles at $0.62/bbl plus $0.085 per mile, disposal $0.72/bbl. Pipeline quoted at $1.05/bbl, recycling at $1.85/bbl.
| Rank / route | Transport $/bbl | Handling $/bbl | All-in $/bbl |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Pipeline to disposal | 1.0500 | 0.7200 | 1.7700 |
| 2. Recycle and reuse | 0.0000 | 1.8500 | 1.8500 |
| 3. Truck to disposal (in use) | 3.8500 | 0.7200 | 4.5700 |
That breakeven line is the point. At 38 miles the argument is already over, and the planner tells you the exact distance where it turned, on your rates rather than anyone else's.
