What is a Lease?

A lease is a critical security component in Digital Oilfield, acting as a grouping mechanism for wells. It restricts user access to only the wells contained within the leases they are assigned to.

Leases serve as security groups and can include multiple wells. A single user may be part of multiple leases, enhancing flexibility in access control.

Create a Lease

Create a lease to group wells and assign user access:

1. Navigate to the Leases section using the main menu.
2. Select “Create Lease”.

Tip

Before creating a new lease, use the “List All” option to check if it already exists to avoid duplicates.

In the lease creation form, provide:

• Lease Name: A unique identifier for the lease.
• Users: Optionally, specify which users are part of this lease. Note that users with the Owner and Supervisor roles are automatically included in all leases and will not appear in the user selection list.

Important!

The system automatically assigns all leases to users with ‘Owner’ and ‘Supervisor’ roles, so they will not appear in the selectable list for lease assignments.

Edit a Lease

To update lease details:

1. Select “List All” from the Manage Leases section in the navigation menu.
2. Find the lease you wish to edit and click the gear icon (⚙️).
3. Choose “Update Lease”.

Delete a Lease

To remove a lease:

1. Go to “List All” under Manage Leases in the navigation menu.
2. Click on the gear icon (⚙️) next to the desired lease.
3. Select “Remove Lease”.

Important!

Leases with associated wells cannot be deleted. Remove all linked wells before attempting to delete the lease.
