SONRIS FEEDBACK
This morning I had a zoom session with the SONRIS staff for help with the new database architecture. The work is moving ahead but we need to exercise some patience as it is a big undertaking. Some data will take some time to create a work around such as monthly production volumes for your Haynesville wells but that is on the agenda.
Here is a link to the Feedback page which you can use to communicate directly with the SONRIS staff. For the majority of members, you can post a reply in this discussion thread and the staff will see it. We discussed the fact that for the majority of mineral owners there are a limited number of searches that they use regularly to manage their mineral interests. There are some links that have been shared her on GHS.com but those will go away at some time and no longer be usable. Therefore everyone needs to learn to use the new dashboard and search options.
I know many of you have limited your searches to the SONRIS Lite portion of the database but those are being replaced with the required format that has a search page with many data entry boxes. As with all database searches, not just SONRIS, only a few of those boxes need to be used. Trying to enter something in all the boxes is not required and can lead to errors so start with just a few boxes and add some if you don't see what you need. Keep in mind that the industry uses those same searches so for example they may choose to search by an API well number instead of a state well serial number. Please start getting up to speed with the new site architecture and post here when you have a question or wish to share something you have learned. You can also send your feedback directly to the staff using the link below.

To help members get started, here is a link to the new SONRIS dashboard. Most of the searches many will want will be under SONRIS DATA PORTAL.

With regard to the "well information report" tool, I was using that report search last night on the new platform. I was doing a search for a certain operator that required multiple field search because I was not sure which field the operator was present in (all or just one). Prime example, the Lisbon field has has 5 fields to choose from. However, it does reflect 3 of the 5 are merged with the remaining 2 fields (good info to know), but I needed to search the remaining 2 fields. It does not allow one to choose both or multiple fields. I have to search both independently. When I attempted to clear the field search, there is no going back to empty the field search. It must be reset at the bottom. In doing so, it reset all the other search criteria I had already entered. Basically, I had to start over with all my input. I'm sharing this as I use the platform. There may be easy answeres to these type of problems. I don't think this is addressed in the tutorial.
Thanks, bes

Thanks for the feedback. It is important for the SONRIS staff to know these things as the database work continues. It is difficult to test all the searches in all the ways that users may need. Specific examples are helpful.

After exercising trial and error, I was able to land in a location that treated the 2 fields as one. Not sure I can get back to it. lol. Skip, do you know to get the field orders using the new platform? Thanks, bes

SONRIS Dashboard - Document Access - Field Orders: input the four digit field code. I just checked it and saved this link. While you are there check all the other search options. This is where you find the Haynesville unit surveys which are a critical component for every mineral owners mineral file.

I was able to go to the Blackbooks - Field Order Index under well info in the new platform and find what I was looking for. If I recall correctly, you used to be able to access the field orders by clicking the SN on the old platform which made it easy to find all the documents and field orders related to that SN. Is that still possible with the new platform? Thanks

You're welcome. Keeping in mind that things are still changing with the database rebuild, when you go the "Well File" for a particular well scroll down to the section labeled "Lease/Unit/Well Association History". If it is a one unit well it will have one LUW code. If the well produces from multiple units (HA horizontal wells) there will be a LUW code for each in blue which will link to the Field Orders and Unit Surveys for each unit. This looks to me like it will continue to work with the new rebuild.

just want to check on Permitted Wells by Parish and date. Spent time watching the video, and spent more time stumbling around on the Portal, with no success.

Thanks, Steve. I'll pass that along. I hadn't looked for that search in new Dashboard in a while. I mentioned that it was one our members used frequently. It should be under "SONRIS - Data Portal - Well Information" but it is not. Until that get fixed, use this link.

for Skip or any member: I don't have an ownership interest, but I just looked at an unusual Expand permit -
- Serial No.: 255365
This well runs precisely down the N/S contiguous section lines of Sections 7, 12, 13, and 18 except for the surface and bottom hole location, in T 12 N, R 14W, DeSoto Parish.
This seems like a great way to produce gas that would otherwise be never produced, but I've not seen this before. Did Conservation have to change some rules to allow this?

We have seen a number of instances like this in alternate well applications and in permits to drill. I think it may have been back in the spring that we discussed the first one. Here are a couple of discussion on that topic.
