1/12 Update CD
OWL Data Could Give Your Company the Winning Touchdown!
Sale 216/222 on June 20, 2012 will be the “Super Bowl” of GOM Exploration. Data from OWL 6 and OWL 7 will be an important factor as your team prepares to Bid for this Sale’s “trophy” leases. An easy-to-use Setup program has been included on the CD to help you update. It is important that you run the OWL6 update outside normal office hours. The Setup program must be used to update the OWL database. Please run the OWL6 update: (1) on a computer that has OWL6 and (2) when OWL6 is not in use on your computer network. OWL 7 network Updates may be run at any time from any PC that has OWL 7 installed on it.
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 1/31/2012 is seen on the lower right hand side of the Entry Screen and to the right of the Lexco copyright statement. A Help folder has been included on the OWL 6.7 Update 1/2012 CD. The folder includes a browser-based OWL 6 Help system for Windows Vista and 7 users. Please copy the entire Help folder over to the Lexco folder where the OWL6 executable resides. The OWL Database will automatically access the appropriate Help system based on the user's Windows OS version.
The 1/2012 OWL Update contains Lease, Well, Platform, and Production data that reflect BOEM computerized records in late January 2012. At the end of January most of the Lease and Well production data were available through 11/2011.
Did you know that the OWL 7 map offers the option to plot a wide range of completion data on the well trace? Completion data includes Reservoir Name, Measured Depth (MD), True Vertical Depth (TVD), Gas and Oil Production for the Last 12 Months and Cumulative, Completion Date, MD and TVD for Perforations. Completions also may be color coded by Reservoir Name.
