Well History Group Filters and Excel

September 30, 2026



What is a Well Group?

SSI includes 30 Well Groups that can be used as powerful filters when running well‐related reports—especially Well History reports. Each well group allows you to include or exclude up to four group codes, giving you precise control over the wells included in your report results.

Whether you’re narrowing down producing wells, organizing by operator, or adding additional context to your exports, Well Groups make it easy to tailor your reporting exactly the way you need it.


Smarter Excel Exports

The same robust filtering available in printed Well History reports has always been available in Excel exports—but now exports are even more dynamic and informative.

Need a report showing only producing wells? Simply select the Producing group code within the Production Status well group before printing or exporting. In just a few clicks, your export is focused exactly where you need it.


What’s New?

Excel exports now automatically include a column for every well group used in your filters.

For example, if you filter by Production Status, that field is automatically added as a column in the Excel export—making your exported data easier to analyze, sort, and share.

But what if you want additional information—like the Operator—without actually filtering your report by operator?

Here’s a clever workaround:

Add Extra Context Without Changing Your Results

  1. Create a group code named NONE
  2. Add NONE as a well group code to all well groups
  3. When filtering for producing wells, also apply an Operator filter and choose to exclude NONE

Since no wells are assigned to NONE, your dataset stays exactly the same. However, this “dummy” filter tells SSI to include the Operator well group as a column in the Excel export.

Result: You get all producing wells plus a populated Operator column – no unwanted filtering required.


Get More From Every Export

This enhancement gives you even greater flexibility when building Well History exports. By strategically using well group filters, you can include meaningful context, improve readability, and create exports that are more valuable for analysis and reporting—all without changing the actual results of your dataset.

Smarter filtering. Richer exports. Better reporting.
