OWL’s Speed Wins Top Places In Delivering the Data

 

Help your company compete in the races to develop GOM E&P projects by running this Update ASAP. 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 8/28/2008 is seen on the lower right hand side of the Entry Screen and to the right of the Lexco copyright statement.        

The 8/2008 OWL Update contains Lease, Well, and Platform data that reflects MMS computerized records in late August, 2008 and includes the preliminary results for OCS Sale 207.   High bid Sale tracts will carry a “New” lease status in OWL until they are awarded or rejected by the MMS. At the end of August, most Lease and Well production data were available through 6/2008.  

Did you know that you may use OWL’s Production Report No. 8, Monthly Well Production, to export the complete monthly production for any well in the OCS region to an Excel® spread sheet?  Once the data is in Excel, you may modify the data and create a wide variety of graphs.  Almost all of OWL’s reports may be saved as spread sheets or other digital file types.
