PHDwin Week
John Ferrell has spent more than 25 years in Oil & Gas, working everywhere from major operators to startups. As Co-Founder and CEO of WellDatabase, he’s spent the last decade deep in public data, helping the industry actually make sense of it. He’s also a published author and frequent speaker on all things data and energy. When he’s not buried in a dataset, you’ll find him in the mountains of western Montana with his wife and five kids.
Public production data can be a goldmine—or a minefield. Using the wrong data in your economic evaluations can derail entire projects. In this session, we’ll show you how to streamline the process of sourcing, cleaning, and importing public data using WellDatabase and PHDWin. You’ll walk away with practical tips for avoiding common pitfalls and ensuring your PHDWin projects are built on the right foundation.
