This content model has been culled from the previous "Fluid Flux Borehole Observation" content model, along with the Geothermal Fluid Production and the Fluid Flux Injection and Disposal content models. Version 1.0 has been submitted for NGDS technical team review, and the Excel workbook has been adopted for NGDS partner projects and posted on the NGDS web site resources/public documents section.

This workbook documents a content model for exchange of information about fluid production for a given well. A generic model is intended to allow for a variety of flows from a well including oil, gas, and water as well as steam production. Because of the wide variety of possible flow measurements (commodities, aggregation type), the model adopts a thin approach, which may result in many records being returned for a single well. Thus most data about the well is linked through the HeaderURI instead of included inline to keep the redundant data volume down.

This template defines the content model for a service that delivers well fluid production observations. Many of these will be a standard map location and production volume, but other information may be delivered. The well fluid production content model is designed to be used for data compilation from publications, reports, and databases. This content model is intended to present key information necessary to query a well fluid production observation service and to evaluate the reported data.
