AI Economic Scoring
Every task scored by dollar impact — so your crews always work on what matters most.
The Problem: Simple Math Misses the Full Picture
The obvious approach to prioritization is production times price: a 100 BOPD well at $75/bbl equals $7,500/day, so fix that one first. But this back-of-the-envelope math ignores the factors that determine whether fixing a well actually moves your bottom line.
Without true economic scoring, operators routinely dispatch crews to high-production wells where they hold minimal working interest while lower-production wells with 100% ownership sit idle. The result: maximum effort with sub-optimal financial return.
How WorkSync Solves It
WorkSync economic scoring combines multiple data sources through ML models to produce a single dollar-denominated score for every task. This is not a formula an engineer built once — it is a model that learns from outcomes and improves over time.
Working Interest & Net Revenue Interest
A 200 BOPD well where you own 15% WI is worth less to your bottom line than a 50 BOPD well at 100% WI. Economic scoring reflects what you actually take home.
Lifting Costs
High lifting-cost wells generate less net value per barrel. The score accounts for the true margin on each barrel recovered, not just gross production.
Trend Trajectory
Is the well declining rapidly or stabilizing? A well losing 10 BOPD per day has a different urgency than one that lost 2 BOPD and flattened. ML models project forward to estimate total production at risk.
Intervention Success Rates
Historical data shows which interventions recover value on similar wells. If a particular fix has an 85% success rate on this well type, the expected recovery is weighted accordingly.
Self-Resolution Probability
Some issues resolve on their own — intermittent communication failures, brief pressure transients, or wells that cycle naturally. The model estimates the likelihood of self-resolution to avoid dispatching crews to problems that will fix themselves.
Commodity Price & Market Conditions
At $80/bbl, a 10 BOPD loss costs $800/day. At $50/bbl, the same loss costs $500/day. Economic scores update as prices move so prioritization reflects current market reality.
How It Works in Practice
Scenario: Two wells go down on the same morning. Well A produces 150 BOPD but the operator holds 12% WI and lifting costs are $28/bbl. Well B produces 40 BOPD at 100% WI with $8/bbl lifting costs.
Simple math says fix Well A first ($11,250/day gross). Economic scoring says fix Well B first: the net daily impact to the operator is $2,880 for Well B versus $1,014 for Well A. The model also notes that Well A's issue has a 35% self-resolution probability (intermittent ESP trips), while Well B's rod pump failure will not recover on its own.
By fixing Well B first, the operator recovers nearly 3x more net value. Economic scoring turns every prioritization decision into a financial optimization.
