Customizing Your Map - Color By Properties

Let me introduce you to one of our most powerful yet user-friendly features: map color customization. Whether you're analyzing well locations, comparing operators, or studying field production, this tool will help you visualize data more effectively.

Getting Started with Color Customization

The color customization feature is included in our Essential plan and higher tiers. While Lite users need to upgrade to access this feature, Essential users can immediately start using these visualization tools. Plus, Pro, and Enterprise plans offer additional benefits, including shape and size customization.

How to Customize Your Map Colors

The process is simple: Open the tools menu, locate the Well Spots visualization type in our Well Layer, and select the "Color By" option to select from various properties for your view.

Here's a practical example: by selecting "Current Operator Alias" as your color parameter you will instantly see how different operators' wells are distributed across your map. This view is especially useful for understanding operator positions and analyzing offset wells.

Practical Applications

The color customization feature offers several ways to analyze your data:

• Field Analysis: Highlight different fields to compare production levels and identify high-performing areas
• Well Status: Distinguish between active, shut-in, and plugged & abandoned wells at a glance
• Well Types: Easily differentiate between injection wells, gas wells, and oil wells
• Operator Distribution: Visualize how different operators' assets are distributed across an area

Advanced Features and Tips

A key strength of our color customization tool is its flexibility. You can adjust default colors to create clearer visualizations. For instance, you can easily change one to improve contrast if two categories share similar colors.

Even better, your color settings save automatically. Once you customize a color for a specific operator or category, it stays consistent in future sessions, helping you maintain a standardized approach across your analysis.

Making the Most of Your Data

Color customization truly helps you understand complex data relationships at a glance. Whether you're analyzing well statuses, comparing operator positions, or studying field production, visualizing these differences through color will streamline your workflow and improve your decision-making.
