/ducsbyoperator#

Drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCs) are oil and natural gas wells that have been drilled but have not yet undergone various well completion activities. We define a well as a DUC from the date on which drilling begins, up to the date a frac crew finishes completing the well and moves off the wellpad.

This endpoint returns drilled but uncompleted wells by operator (the company that runs the well).

Endpoint#

POST

https://hyperion.api.synmax.com/v3/ducsbyoperator

Usage#

Python#

ducs_by_operator(aggregate_by=[None], county=[None], end_date=None, operator=[None], region=[None], start_date=None, state_code=[None], sub_region=[None])#

Returns drilled but uncompleted wells by county and operator.

Object returned is a pandas DataFrame.

⮞ Setup the client.

from synmax.hyperion import HyperionApiClient, ApiPayload
access_token = 'your access token goes here'
client = HyperionApiClient(access_token=access_token)

For a more detailed guide on setting up the Hyperion client, please see the Quickstart page.

⮞ Use parameters to narrow down your request.

payload = ApiPayload(start_date='2021-05-01', end_date='2022-06-25', sub_region=['S LA', 'West - TX'])

Tip

Narrow down your request to receive a faster response. Using no parameters will fetch the entire dataset which may take a very long time.

⮞ Call the function.

result_df = client.ducs_by_operator(payload)

⮞ Print the results or save them for later.

# Print the entire response as a string.
print(result_df.to_string())

# Create a CSV file from the output.
result_df.to_csv('output.csv')

# Print the number of items per column.
print(result_df.count())

For more information on outputting to different formats, please see the pandas DataFrame documentation.

Aggregation#

Aggregation provides an overview of overall productions levels for a particular operator or across a given region during a given timeframe.

Data is always implicitly aggregated by date. This means all other column data are grouped by date.

Supported parameters: county, date, region, state_code, sub_region
