# Release Notes

# 2.7 Release

September 30, 2025

  • User Notification Updates:
    • After launching a build, the user now receives email notifications on build start, failed, and completion events.
  • Expanded attribute extraction for modeling:
    • Models can now sample vertical attribute envelopes around a well, adding valuable signal to predictions.
  • New features for understanding well degradation:
    • New drainage features (total drainage without siblings/without parents) provide a new lense to understand well degradation patterns.
    • Addition of drainage features allows models to pay attention to situations where drainage is predominantly impacted by sibling wells, parent well, or both.

# 2.6 Release

September 10, 2025

  • Inventory Dashboard Updates:
    • Added option to discount cash flows to a certain date, rather than normalized time zero using the completion dates specified on the inventory location in the project.
    • Inventory Cash Flows:
      • Added toggle for x axis date: relative (time zero) or absolute (based on completion dates from Project).
      • If absolute date is selected, a vertical line shows on the charts indicating the discount date used.
    • New tab: Inventory Prediction Schedule:
      • Visualize how production stacks up as wells ramp up and decline over time.
      • Three time series charts with actual dates, calculated from INV completion dates and user input timing values.
  • 'Batches' were renamed to 'Projects'
  • Inventory Project Updates:
    • Oil and gas productivity heat maps (12-mon cum and EUR/ft) are now visible as layers on the project map for each target interval.
    • Improved copy/paste experience for inventory sticks so that pasted wells are selected automatically.
    • A new PDP table was added to the project map which allows users to select any wells on the map and then view details about those wells.
  • Gun Barrel Updates:
    • Wells in the gun barrel diagram can be colored by first production year.
    • The color by 'Pad' logic was improved to consider the completion dates of the wells.
    • Gun barrel generation was improved so that the gun barrel appears almost instantly after creating a cross section.

# 2.5 Release

August 19, 2025

  • Shapefile Management: Added ability to upload and manage shapefiles as map layers.
    • New 'Shapefiles' tab in the top menu for uploading, deleting, grouping, and editing shapefiles.
    • Multiple shapefiles can grouped together to create a single map layer.
    • Shapefile properties (color, line width, opacity) can be customized.
    • Shapefiles are stored at the repo level and are available to all users, across all inventory evaluations in the repo.
  • Copy/Paste Functionality: Added copy/paste feature for wells in the inventory editor.
    • New 'Copy Wells' and 'Paste Wells' tools in the map's left menu.
    • Standard keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) work in the table view.
    • Pasted wells retain location but receive new well and scenario names.
    • Wells can be copied from map selection and pasted into Excel.
  • Gun Barrel Enhancements:
    • Wells can be colored by pad, scenario, or landing target.
    • Pad grouping is based on well naming convention with configurable prefix length.
    • Added gun barrel (GB) table showing all displayed wells (PDP and PUD) with x-offset distance and TVDSS values.
    • Horizontal and vertical distances between wells in the viewer can be toggled on and off.
  • Insights Dashboard Updates:
    • Multivariate Type Curves: Improved marking experience on the map between grid cells and well sticks. This makes it easier to keep grid cells selected while selecting PDP wells, and vice versa.
    • Inventory Well Predictions: PDP production curves in the Inventory Prediction tab are now normalized by user defined settings (e.g. 10k lateral)
  • Moved 'Launch' button from right menu to top menu bar in inventory editor for better visibility.
  • Changed default well spacing for inventory draw tool to 1320 ft.
  • Fixed bug preventing large inventory batches from saving.
  • Added automatic saving of inventory wells when 'Launch' button is clicked.
  • Added optional 'Well Offset' input to the inventory draw tool to offset the first inventory well by a specified distance from the reference point.

# 2.4 Release

August 5, 2025

  • Section layer in base map is now available across all PetroAI maps for all of US. This includes the map in the inventory evaluations and all Insights dashboards.
  • Vertical section lines are displayed in the gun barrel viewer.
  • Builds now show progress, visible in the 'Build' and 'Compute' pages.
  • Fixed a bug that caused builds to fail if the Frac Fingerprint json file was not present in the build directory even when the Frac Fingerprint feature was not enabled.
  • Sub-batches are now automatically generated when a build is launched in the Inventory Evaluation tool. This allows for a single batch to be used across multiple builds, and protects against making changes to inventory wells before a build completes.
  • Added ability to save type curves to PetroAI and view them from a new 'Type Curves' tab. A Type Curve Viewer dashboard is also available to help users manage and compare type curves.
  • Made substantial updates and improvements to the Inventory Dashboard.
    • Fixed a bug in the auto-type curve parameters (set oil, set gas).
    • Added INV well sticks to the map for better orientation on the Explore Wells and on the Type Curve tab.
    • On the Type Curve tab, changed time series table to selected type curve wells, added button to load PDP time series data in the Controls menu.
    • On the Inventory Prediction tab, changed color of INV wells, added PDP prod curves in background of INV predictions + Toggle, added ability to toggle both Line by and Color by, rather than the previous Group By.
    • Added new query for RAW_prod that joins well_features outside of Spotfire to improve dashboard performance.

# 2.3 Release

July 16, 2025

  • Added 'batch' as a required filed for inventory builds. Bathes allow for specific subsets of locations to be predicted while keeping all locations in the source table.
  • Initial release of a new map editor for creating and editing inventory locations. The new editor allows users to quickly create and edit inventory locations on a map with linked table and gun barrel viewer.
  • The gun barrel viewer shows both PDP wells and inventory locations.
  • Users can launch the inventory predictions directly from the map editor.

# 2.2 Release

June 17, 2025

  • Inventory builds now support a user-defined offset distance (e.g. 3 miles) to automatically include nearby PDP wells.
  • Builds now automatically update their status: successful builds are marked complete, and failed ones are marked failed. Use the Compute tab to refresh the status.

# 2.1 Release

June 3, 2025

  • Improved speed of inventory builds by performing a direct database copy of data products when they are already available. Users should see a significant reduction in build time when running inventory predictions.
  • Added a new 'Inventory' page under the 'Data' tab where users can create, edit, and paste a table of well locations that will get predictions. This allows users to quickly populate the inventory source table from inside PetroAI.
  • Replaced many advanced configuration options with smart defaults to simplify the build configuration.

# 2.0 Release

May 19, 2025

  • Users can now configure and launch builds on their own. This gives the full functionality of the PetroAI platform to our enterprise users.
    • Load source data
    • Customize feature extraction
    • Specify features and filters to train models
    • Run completions sensitivities, predict on inventory locations, and iterate on pad design
    • Track build progress

# 1.0 Release

April 1, 2024

  • Initial release of the PetroAI Cloud Platform.
