Terms and definitions in the Monthly Production Report
Introduction
Colour codes:
Black - TietoEnator’s definitions
Blue - The Reference Data Library’s definitions
Green - Suggested definitions
Red - Comments to the existing definitions
Yellow - Typos
Maroon – DNV comments
Order of precedence:
1) If only RDL’s definition is given then both definitions are equal
2) If both TE’s and the RDL’s definitions are then it is assumed that the RDL definition covers the other, and is the preferred choice.
3) If a Suggested definition is given in addition to the others then this is the preferred choice
4) If comments are made then the preferred definition may need adjustments.
Irrelevant of the precedence relations all definitions can be erroneous and should be reviewed.
The goal is to reduce this document to one single definition for each term.

A cumulative time period seems strange. No starting point means that the time period is lacking a reference point. Cumulative production is more plausible. The total cumulative production from start up of the field until today, but this is a volume and not a time period. The time period is life to date.
