Cheyenne Petroleum Case Study: Field Operations Data Success
Cheyenne Petroleum, an independent oil and gas producer operating primarily in South Texas's Eagle Ford and Pearsall Shale regions, centralized its field operations data management to streamline complex production reporting, regulatory compliance, and partner data sharing workflows, thereby improving remote access for engineers and technicians, reducing manual report generation time, and enhancing responsiveness to production issues across its diverse operated and non-operated assets.
Cheyenne Petroleum is an Oklahoma City-based E&P company with a 43-year track record of success across North America as an independent oil & gas producer. The company currently operates in South Texas and holds interest in non-operated wells across West Texas, North Dakota, and Mid-Continent states.

The Inspiration for Change
Cheyenne Petroleum needed to centralize field operations data management. The company also needed to track diverse assets as well as generate, analyze, and distribute operations reports.
Production Reporting Complexity
Due to the diversity of its operations, Cheyenne had multiple reporting requirements for both internal and external stakeholders. The company needed to track both operated and non-operated assets and submit reports to partners and regulatory agencies.
“Centralized access to well data and reports is a big benefit, and it’s also important to our field staff who can access the information they need remotely on any web-enabled mobile device.”
– Engineering Technician
Access to Production and Operations Data
Engineering and technical staff spent hours finding the data they needed and additional time manually generating well production reports. Inefficient access to well information limited the ability of Cheyenne’s field staff to respond quickly to production issues.
Regulatory & Partner Reports
A significant amount of time was devoted by staff to regulatory filings, which required the assembly of multiple report types. Cheyenne also needed to share information with multiple non-operating partners, which required staff to manually assemble production reports and email them to partners.
Benefits for Production & Operations
Centralized Production and Operations Data
With centralized data management and reporting capabilities, Cheyenne staff are able to quickly generate a wide range of report types using W Energy Software. With on-demand access to quality well information, E&P decision-making at the company is faster.
Increased Operational Efficiency
The W Energy Software solution has boosted operational efficiency and enabled more effective oversight of Cheyenne’s production operations. The software supports several important E&P workflows. Preparing regulatory filings, for example, a process that used to take days, is now accomplished in minutes.
Secure Distribution to External Parties
Cheyenne uses W Energy Software’s cloud-based solution to securely share well information with external users, including its land services contractor. The company spends less time sharing information with joint venture partners by enabling them to access the data and reports they need directly.
