This feature is used to adjust your data depending on your shut-in conditions. It is extremely important that you use this feature correctly, as your volume and rate data is influenced by this setting. The time track on import is interpreted based on the state of this setting:
- If this option is selected, no adjustment to the time track is made. The start dates in Harmony Enterprise match the data imported.
- If this option is deselected, Harmony Enterprise analyzes the time track. If the time between two reported dates is greater than a day, but less than a month, a day is assumed. If the time is greater than a month, but less than a year, a month is assumed.
The Continuous Time Track checkbox is located in the Import Options pane (Import Data dialog box) and the Select Wells to Import dialog box. By default, this option is selected for cumulative time.
