• Key Concepts: 
  A unique well identifier (UWI) is a code used to identify an oil or gas well in the IS-OIL-PRA Production and Revenue Accounting component of SAP. It is a combination of alphanumeric characters that uniquely identifies a well, and is used to track production and revenue data associated with the well. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The UWI is used to track production and revenue data associated with a well. This data can be used to analyze the performance of the well, as well as to compare it to other wells in the same area. The UWI can also be used to identify wells that are part of a larger project, such as a field development or exploration project. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering a UWI into SAP, make sure that all characters are entered correctly. If any characters are entered incorrectly, the data associated with the well may not be accurate. Additionally, make sure that all UWIs are entered in the same format, as different formats may lead to confusion when analyzing data.
