General Tab

Well Explorer > Wells Tab > Company Properties

The fields in the General tab of the Company Properties dialog are used to specify information to identify a company, as well as capture additional information related to the Company.

Special Fields and Functions

The Company name uniquely identifies the company within the Well Explorer. No two companies can have the same name.

The Company Logo area is used to select and delete Company Logo's, which are displayed in OpenWells® and COMPASS™ Output Reports.

Select Button - The Select button is used to select the logo to be used for the Output Reports. EDM™ applications supports .BMP and .JPG file formats for logo files. A thumbnail image of the logo as well as the file name and extension will appear in the Company Logo area. Once selected this logo file is stored in the database and available to all users.

Reporting Standard Area

The Daily Operations Report is directly affected by the reporting standards setting as it drives the start time of day and end time of day logic for the Report interval. A reporting standard can also be set at the Event level.

For more information see the Reporting Standards topic.

Reporting Standard Description - This picklist defines the Report submission conventions used by the Company for report dates (e.g., Daily Operations Report) and the associated cut off times for the Report. The following reporting standards are available in OpenWells software:

Reporting Option 1: Day 1, hh:mm - Day 2, hh:mm, Using the Report Date of Day 1
Reporting Option 2: Day 1, hh:mm - Day 2, hh:mm, Using the Report Date of Day 2

Reporting Time - The Reporting Time field is used to set the hours and minutes ( hh:mm) for the start and end of the day. This allows for different districts within a company to use different times which will account for time zone changes.

Cost Support Area

Dual Currency

The Dual Currency area of the Company Properties General tab controls the Dual Currency feature.

For information on this feature see the Dual Currency Support topic.

Activate Dual Currency - The Activate Dual Currency check box specifies whether the Dual Currency feature is used or not. When activated, the Dual Currency fields appear in the Cost Estimate and AFE and the Daily Operations reports.

Cost Contingency

The Cost Contingency area of the General tab controls the Contingency Cost feature. For information on this feature see the Contingency Cost Support topic.

For example, this can occur if the Table, column or <flag column name> as entered in the Contingency Info field does not exist.

Contingency Codes - The Contingency Codes field defines the Cost Class, Code and Subcode that is used to store the calculated contingency cost. These codes appear in the Daily Cost spreadsheet contingency row. These codes must be separated by commas (e.g., 1, 88, 99, Contingency Cost).

Note: The Cost Code must be unique to any existent cost codes in the picklist table.

Data Locking

Data Locking is used to 'lock' data at the Company level or to lock data below the Company level using passwords. Data Locking prevents unauthorized changes to information associated with the Company.

For more information on this check box see the Data Locking topic.

Locked check box - The Locked check box, located at the bottom of the General tab, causes fields within the property's window to become read-only. In order to edit the field the check box must be deactivated.

Note: If this check box is activated and a Company Level password has been specified, you will be prompted for the password before you can deactivate the Locked check box.

Company Level Button - The Company Level button is used to set the password for the Company's Locked check box. Once the Company Level password has been set and the Locked check box is activated, the password must be re-entered to unlock the data for edits or changes.
Locked Data Button - The Locked Data button is used to set a password for the Locked check boxes located in the EDM™ data nodes below the Company level (i.e., Project, Site, Well, Wellbore, Event, Completion). Once a Locked Data Password is created and the Locked check box is activated in specific node properties pages, the password must be re-entered to unlock the data for edits or changes.
