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.

Any member who is continuing to have difficulty accessing a particular search, please list them here.  If I can help, I will.  If not, I will pass along a question for that search to the SONRIS staff.

There is no longer a stand alone search option for Permits By Section Township Range.  Now to access the well permits you must go to Data Portal - Well Information Search and use the new form.  I'll put a link below.  Considering how few well permits there are state wide, you could just put in the dates to return your search.  If you wish to go back longer that a week or two you might also use the Operator and/or Field boxes.

Hi Steve,

Users can access the "Permitted Wells by Parish and Date" by accessing SONRIS Data Portal > Well Information Search. The first two parameters are Permit Date range. You can then sort the results by Parish.

I am interested in production by specific well. As I understand it, that is not available yet. Any idea when that will be loaded?

William, many of the old stand alone searches are now combined into one search option.  This link shows an example of that.  You can search by well serial number, by Well Name, by Operator Name etc.

Personally, I use the one I link below.  I prefer to search wells by township range leaving the section box empty.  This search works by inputting additional information such as operator, well status, field name, etc.  If you play around with it you should find the easiest way to look up the specific well your are interested in.

Hi William,

If the serial number is known, access SONRIS Data Portal > Well Information Search. Key in the serial number. In the results, select the serial number to access details of the well, including production information.
