This document outlines how to access and use the InfieldOnline service. Unless otherwise stated your subscription permits you to use InfieldOnline from a single site, with up to three users at any one time. InfieldOnline is a more intuitive interrogation system for your data. It allows you to save queries to your own individual workspace and you can download your entire data file from the Client Centre.

IMPORTANT:- TO USE INFIELDONLINE SUCCESSFULLY WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE THE LATEST VERSION MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER.

Once you have logged on, there are additional help files available to you.

Unless you have subscribed to the complete Infield Worldwide Offshore Energy Database, there is a vast quantity of information which is available now. Infield covers all of the world's existing and future offshore field developments from the first true offshore development in the 1940's through to projects which are not expected to be developed for another 20 years. For more information about Infield, please visit www.infield.com.

1. Accessing InfieldOnline

Simply logon to www.infieldonline.com using the user name and passwords sent to your registered e-mail address. If you are having problems gaining access then copy and paste the codes directly into your web browser.

Once you have logged on you will be presented with a switchboard with all of the data set icons. You will only have access to those datasets that you have subscribed to. If you click on one of the icons that you do not have access to, then you will get a default screen denying you access. If you get a default screen for one of your subscribed data sets, please contact technical support Email: Infield or contact +44 (0)20 7426 9661 (Out of UK Office hours this will be transferred to the Duty Manager).

IMPORTANT:- If you are accessing the internet through a network you may have to consult your network administrator to allow the accessing of ".asp" pages.

There is a default time limit for sessions to use your database if you need the sessions extended please contact Infield.

2. Searching

Each of the files can be searched using singular or multiple criteria as required. Search criteria are entered or selected before the search button is pressed.

When looking at individual record sheets the buttons at the bottom of the sheet will run a search for all records related to that single record sheet in the file named on the button, assuming this data falls within the limits of your Subscription. For example, clicking on the operator button when looking at a single platform, field, pipeline or umbilical file will run a search for the operator of that project

3. Setting up search criteria:

Each of the search files has different types of tools for selecting search criteria.

Scrollable boxes allow you to select the parameters for each of the criteria before searching the database. The menu range shown is drawn directly from your dataset.

For multiple selections within each criterion Windows users should hold down the 'Ctrl' key. Thus for example to select a parameter for a search for projects in the countries UK and Norway only, users should first click on UK and then on Norway while holding down the 'Ctrl' key, before clicking on the 'Search Database' button at the bottom. Of course other parameters can be set in other menu items before searching the database to further refine searches.

Please note that if no data appears within the scrollable boxes this indicates that your subscription does not include this data. The all default indicates that all the data from YOUR data set will be included in a search.

Empty Boxes allow for the entry of specific text strings. In this case the small help buttons next to the box will show the types of data available. The options shown are those available from the complete database and thus some or all may fall outside the scope of your subscription.

Ranges allows for searches for specific or ranges of lengths, weights and dates to be carried out. The range shown is that available from the complete database and thus some or all may fall outside the scope of your subscription.

4. Search Results

Searches of the database will launch a new screen indicating how many records fit the parameters selected, along with up to ten records from this subset listed to show their ID (an Infield Database identification code), Name, Water Depth and Date on Stream. Returned searches are split into 'pages' of ten records each which can be navigated between using the buttons at the top of the table. To view all the data held on each of the records simply click on its ID number in the left column.

Note Returning back to the search page does not delete the query parameters already set
The reset button must be used to run a different query.

5. Saving and Rerunning Searches

Each user is provided with their own workspace allowing the sets of criteria used to search the database to be named and saved in a private folder. To save searches enter the name you wish to use in the appropriate box at the bottom of the search screen. Searches will automatically have the name of the file added to the name of the search.

Note Searches can be run to evaluate the results and then saved by returning back to the search screen and adding a search name before saving the criteria.

To rerun or delete saved searches press the button marked past searches this will open a screen listing previously saved searches.

6. Downloading Search Results

It is possible to download the search results in CSV format for use offline.

At the top of the results page the "export results" button allows you to download the results of your search. When pressed the results will fill the screen within your browser window. Each of the data fields on this screen will be separated by "," .

Once the data has finished writing to the screen it can be imported into a spreadsheet program such as MS Excel. Perhaps the easiest is to save the screen to your computer as a text file using the 'save as' command available under the 'file' button on the browser tool bar. Having selected this option open the saved file from within Excel and "parse" the data noting that column headings are used and that the data is delimited by commas.
