Roy. I suggest that you contact the staff at the Office of Conservation. They have been helpful and professional with my questions and requests. The contact information is on the LOC website main page. Good Luck. I'd like to see that spreadsheet. Regards, Skip

I am inthe process of building an excel application to follow my familys interest in the shale. I would like to make it dynamic by linking to online data bases. I would love to learn how to access the Sonfis data base by hyperlink or DDE. Do any of you have any help on that? I hope to create a dynamic Decline Curve that tracks actual production as a predictive devise. I do not want to manualy enter the data or variables. I am a disabled veteran and only doing this as I am able so my time and ability is limited. But i will get it done.

Drop me a line if you'd like some assistance with your class, Skip.

Anyone who is willing to invest the time can master SONRIS Lite. A few tips from members familiar with the database will help. And those with specific industry experience can explain the basics of interpreting the data. SONRIS Classic is a little less user friendly but is the database for well permits, field and unit orders (including plats). I good way to proceed might be for members to state the information they are interested in and then receive a step-by-step explanation of how to access that specific part of the database. There are a number of members capable of providing that type of assistance.

Or if Skip were to teach a class, many of us would be happy to pay for one.

For those interested in a SONRIS class, particularly one involving some travel and expense, please keep in mind that these classes are designed primarily for industry personnel and dedicate a significant portion of the class time to filing on line reports with the LOC. As much as we all value SONRIS, I doubt many of us will ever utilize it to file any reports. After exploring the possibility of scheduling a course for a location here in NW. LA., IMO the members of GHS would be better off with a SONRIS blog where we can share tips on how to search the database.

There is a good conference in New Orleans this month. May be a little deep for mineralowners though.

Skip, had sent these to me and I finally got around to getting them up - maybe you can teach a SONRIS class right here Parker?

Wow Keith. Now what excuse am I going to have to come up with to take a road trip to Baton Rouge?
