Produced water and handling cost

Separate water fraction, water-to-oil ratio and water handling cost.

Inputs are sent to the server for this calculation without being saved or added to the URL. Saving a scenario stores it only in this browser.

Calculation inputs

Enter decimals with a point or comma, without thousands separators. Blank optional values stay unknown.

Use one currency throughout. “Currency” denotes your chosen currency; no exchange rates or market prices are supplied.

The liquid unit selector applies to all volume, rate and per-volume cost inputs. Changing it does not convert entered numbers; use the unit converter when needed.

Clear inputs

Example inputs are illustrative, not data from a real well.

Formula and assumptions

Use oil and produced-water volumes at compatible measurement conditions, for the same period and scope. Produced water is not a groundwater-level measure. With zero oil, the water-to-oil ratio and cost per oil unit are undefined. Gas and treatment suitability are excluded.

waterCut = 100 × water / (oil + water); WOR = water / oil; C = water × handlingCost
