Consider varying the naming scheme based on the type of file and purpose. An operator directory is is particularly relevant for revenue related data. However, the operator can change over time and then you will have multiple files related to well and royalty data or need to have a link. Geographic is particularly useful saving title related documents and information, such as deeds, mineral information, leases, land records, pooling etc. Multi-sectional horizontal wells can overlap mineral tracts. There are often multiple operators in the same lands, under different leases and formations / depths.I like to separate well files, lease files, title data and royalty data. There is no one-size-fits-all, particularly as the data volume increases.
