On a large field the answer to a simple question sits in six spreadsheets with three different dates. A status export says flowing. A routing list says shut in. A planning file says the well moved last month. If the newest file wins every argument, you get the wrong answer. If each fact is taken from the most authoritative source for that fact, with its date, you get the right answer and you can see the conflicts that remain.
We build five layers: current (the latest accepted value per field with its date), context (linked tests, work orders, integrity records and limits), history (dated observations and milestones), changes (what moved since the last refresh, including source conflicts) and sources (file, revision, owner, date, authority and confidence). A well profile reads in four views: now, context, history, changes, with the key risks at the end.
The system can be a SQLite and JSON package behind a browser view, a Power BI model, or a hosted database with an API. The software matters less than the rules: keep history, never erase an unrelated domain on refresh, show how fresh each domain is, and never swap a test value for an allocated rate without saying so.
