02/10 Update CD

Help Your Explorers Find the Data Gold!

 

The OWL Leprechaun knows where the data is hidden! Update ASAP! An easy-to-use Setup program has been included on the CD to help you update. It is important that you run this update outside normal office hours.  The Setup program must be used to update the OWL6 database.  Please run the update: (1) on a computer that has OWL6 and (2) when OWL6 is not in use on your computer network.

 

Network Supervisors should check for active OWL users via the OWL6   Administrator   program  (Admin6.exe)  in  the  Lexco  directory. Click  on  the Active Users tab for a listing of people  using OWL6.  Look at the date listed to the right of the OWL user's network ID.  If the date listed is not today's date, the user exited improperly from OWL and is probably not actively using OWL. If you have problems running the Update, call  Lexco for technical support.  Do not uninstall OWL.

 

The Setup program will not run if the OWL6 program is in use. Let the Setup program run until the Finished message appears. You will know that the update has been successful if the date 2/26/2010 is seen on the lower right hand side of the Entry Screen and to the right of the Lexco copyright statement.           

The 2/2010 OWL Update contains Lease data that reflects MMS computerized records in late February 2010.    At the end of February, Lease and Well production data were available through 12/2009.   

Did you know that OWL Completions (Comps) data screen gives the "True Vertical Depth" (TVD) of perforations for all well completions in the OCS region?  The TVD figure is calculated and provided to the MMS by the original well operator company.
