This is a compilation of oil and gas well permits, completion reports, electric logs, mud logs,
sundry reports, and production data housed at NBMG. Also included in this compilation are
most of the petroleum-related bulletins, reports, and
maps produced by NBMG.
This update includes all oil and gas well files that have been scanned by NBMG over the last
five years. They are in a variety of formats such as PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and software-specific
formats and are provided in the format which they were scanned. Some files are duplicated
in different formats. Many of these files, especially the log files, are very large. For example,
some of the full-color log files in TIFF format are several hundred megabytes in size. You may
need special viewing software for some of these files.
This update includes a major scanning project, just completed, by the AAPG-OSU GIS Consortium (http://www.datapages.com/Partners/AAPGOSUConsortium.aspx). It was funded by OSU alumni Boone Pickens. It included the scanning of all of the oil and gas well files that had not yet been converted to an electronic format. This included over half of the paper oil and gas well records housed at NBMG. The brunt of this scanning effort was performed by two OSU students and employees of OSU Cartography Services: Siewe Siewe Siewe (PhD candidate) and Mary Niles (BS Geology student).
Links to the API numbers on the lists below go to directories containing various scanned logs and other documents associated with each well. The digital files may not be complete for each well and are provided in the same format as provided by OSU, well operator, or vendor. The well data on these tables are current to August 29, 2011.
