This map shows the oil and natural gas wells across the United States. Oil and Natural Gas Well: A hole drilled in the earth for the purpose of finding or producing crude oil or natural gas; or producing services related to the production of crude or natural gas. Geographic coverage includes the United States (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming) as well Oil and Natural Gas wells in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Manitoba that are within 100 miles of the country's border with the United States. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) the following states do not have active/producing Oil or Natural Gas Wells: Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Massachusetts, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Some states do have wells for underground Natural Gas storage facilities where these have been identified they were included. This layer is derived from well data from individual states and provinces and United States Agencies. This layer is complete for the United States but further development of data missing from two Canadian provinces and Mexico is in process. This update release includes an additional 497,036 wells covering Texas. Oil and gas exploration in Texas takes advantage of drilling technology to use a single surface well drilling location to drill multiple bottom hole well connections to extract oil and gas. The addition of Well data from Texas results in the addition of a related table to support this one surface well to many bottom hole connections. This related table provides records for Wells that have more than one bottom hole linked to the surface well. Sourced from the HIFLD Open Data Portal for Energy.

This data release contains spatial data on the location, number, size and extent of energy-related surface disturbances on the Colorado Plateau of Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico as of 2016. The database includes: 1) polygons of oil and gas pads generated from automated and manual classification of aerial imagery, and 2) polylines of roads derived from the U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line Shapefile, supplemented with additional oil and gas access roads digitized from aerial imagery. Pad polygons and road segments are attributed with a "spud year" date based on spud information from the nearest well point. Spudding is the process of beginning to drill a well in the oil and gas industry, and the spud year is a close approximation of when the access roads and pads were cleared for development. The spud year information can be used to develop a chronology of oil and gas surface disturbances across the study region. The remote sensing-based pad mapping captures bright soil of disturbed are ...

Infrastructure, such as roads, airports, water and energy transmission and distribution facilities, sewage treatment plants, and many other facilities, is vital to the sustainability and vitality of any populated area. Rehabilitation of existing and development of new infrastructure requires three natural resources: natural aggregate (stone, sand, and gravel), water, and energy http://rockyweb.cr.usgs.gov/frontrange/overview.htm.

The principal goals of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project (FRIRP) were to develop information, define tools, and demonstrate ways to: (1) implement a multidisciplinary evaluation of the distribution and quality of a region's infrastructure resources, (2) identify issues that may affect availability of resources, and (3) work with cooperators to provide decision makers with tools to evaluate alternatives to enhance decision-making. Geographic integration of data (geospatial databases) can provide an interactive tool to facilitate decision-making by stakeholders http://rockyweb.cr.usgs.gov/frontrange/overview.htm.

This release contains geospatial data digitized from the Map Showing Geology, Structure, and Oil and Gas Fields in the Sterling 1x2 Degree Quadrangle, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas (Scott, 1978) and was compiled as part of the National Geologic Synthesis project. The geospatial data depicts the geology of this quadrangle, which is dominated by Quaternary alluvial and aeolian deposits overlying Tertiary and Cretaceous sedimentary rock, including the Ogallala formation, the Fox Hills sandstone, and the Pierre shale. The included database includes spatial data depicting the locations of mapped geologic contacts and faults, polygons denoting the mapped surficial extent of geologic formations, and structural contours denoting the depth to the top of the D sandstone of the Dakota Group. The database also contains non-spatial tables, including a list of data sources, a description of map units, a glossary of terms, and a data dictionary.

The top of the Upper Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone is present in the subsurface throughout the Uinta and Piceance basins of UT and CO and is easily recognized in the subsurface from geophysical well logs. This digital data release captures in digital form the results of two previously published contoured subsurface maps that were constructed on the top of Dakota Sandstone datum; one of the studies also included a map constructed on the top of the overlying Mancos Shale. A structure contour map of the top of the Dakota Sandstone was constructed as part of a U.S. Geological Survey Petroleum Systems and Geologic Assessment of Oil and Gas in the Uinta-Piceance Province, Utah and Colorado (Roberts, 2003). This surface, constructed using data from oil and gas wells, from digital geologic maps of Utah and Colorado, and from thicknesses of overlying stratigraphic units, depicts the overall configuration of major structural trends of the present-day Uinta and Piceance basins and was used to ...

This data set is a result of compiling differing source materials of various vintages.Source material examples used to create and maintain dataset include: BLM 100k Subsurface Maps, Oil and Gas Plats, Coal Plats, Public Land Survey GIS Data (cadnsdi v.2.0), Field Office GIS Data, Compiled 24k USGS Maps, and Land Records.

Cell maps for each oil and gas assessment unit were created by the USGS as a method for illustrating the degree of exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in an assessment unit or province. Each cell represents a quarter-mile square of the land surface, and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing, gas-producing, both oil and gas-producing, dry, or the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown. The well information was initially retrieved from the IHS Energy Group, PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, which is a proprietary, commercial database containing information for most oil and gas wells in the U.S. Cells were developed as a graphic solution to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data. No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell maps. The data from PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data were current as of October 2001 when the cell maps were created in 2002.

This dataset shows estimated depth ranges to stratigraphic horizons near the base of the Mesaverde Total Petroleum System, Uinta-Piceance Province, northwestern Colorado and northeastern Utah. The structural horizons used for depth estimates include the top of the Blackhawk Formation (western Uinta Basin), top of the lower Castlegate Sandstone (central and eastern Uinta Basin), and the top of the Rollins and Trout Creek Sandstone Members of the Iles Formation in the Piceance Basin.

This digital data release contains geospatial geologic and paleontological data of the 1° x2 °, 1:250,000 Limon quadrangle covering eastern Colorado and western Kansas. The dataset is a digital reproduction of previously published U.S. Geological Survey field mapping which illustrates the spatial configuration of primarily Quaternary surficial units overlying upper Miocene, Oligocene, Paleocene, and Upper Cretaceous bedrock (Sharps, 1980). This quadrangle contains numerous outcrop of the Ogallala Formation, which is a prolific freshwater aquifer throughout the broader great plains. A structure contour map of the top of the Dakota Sandstone are included, which was constructed using selected oil and gas well logs (Sharps, 1980). The Dakota Sandstone is a productive hydrocarbon reservoir within the Limon quadrangle, and the broader Denver-Julesburg Basin. Point data for Mesozoic invertebrate fossil collection localities are depicted on the map, depicted with either Denver or Washington D.C. U.S. Geological Survey catalog numbers (Sharps, 1980). The digital geologic database presented here is an accurate replication of original US. Geological Survey mapping in the Limon quadrangle (Sharps, 1980). Geologic map polygons, fossil points, faunal zones, and structure contours were digitized and attributed as GIS data sets as part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s ongoing studies on a regional and national scale. The geologic map polygons, fossil point features, faunal zone lines, and structure contour lines are distributed as separate feature classes within a geographic information system geodatabase. Contoured elevation values are given in feet, to maintain consistency with the original publication, and in meters. Nonspatial tables define the data sources used, define terms used in the dataset, and describe the geologic units. A tabular data dictionary describes the entity and attribute information for all attributes of the geospatial data and the accompanying nonspatial tables.

The purpose of this note is to briefly describe a detailed (30 m) spatial dataset that estimates the degree of human modification for the lands of Colorado reflecting ~2020 conditions. The degree of human modification is a well-established method to estimate the proximate human activities or processes that have caused, are causing, or may cause impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems. This includes stressors for: urban and built-up, crop and pasture lands, livestock grazing, oil and gas production, mining and quarrying, power generation (renewable and nonrenewable), roads, railways, power lines and towers, logging and wood harvesting, human intrusions, and air pollution.

Please see the attached PDF -- Technical note on a map of human modification in Colorado for 2020 -- that provides further details.

The purpose of Colorado Geological Survey’s (CGS) Geologic Map of the Rattlesnake Mesa Quadrangle,Rio Blanco County, Colorado is to describe the geology of this 7.5-minute quadrangle located in the vicinity of the town of Meeker in northwestern Colorado. CGS staff geologist Jonathan L. White and field assistants James Hodge and Michael J. Zawaski completed the field work on this project at the end of the summer of 2010. Jon White, the principal mapper and author, created this report using field maps, photographs, structural measurements, and field notes generated by all the investigators. Significant knowledge was also gained by a compilation of the available published geologic literature listed in the references. This map was improved from reviews by Larry Moyer (consulting petroleum geologist), David Noe (Colorado Geological Survey), as well as pertinent edits of the adjacent Meeker quadrangle by Rex Cole (Colorado Mesa University). This mapping project was funded jointly by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the CGS. USGS funding comes from the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, award number G10AC00410, authorized by the National Geologic Mapping Act of 1997, reauthorized in 2009. CGS matching funding comes from the Colorado Department of Natural Resources Severance Tax Operational Funds, from severance taxes paid on the production of natural gas, oil, coal, and metals in Colorado.

This digital dataset was created as part of a U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic resource assessment and development of an integrated numerical hydrologic model of the hydrologic system of the Upper Colorado River Basin, an extensive region covering approximately 412,000 square kilometers in five states: Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. As part of this larger study, the USGS developed this digital dataset of geologic data and a three-dimensional hydrogeologic framework model (3D HFM) that define the elevation, thickness, and extent of seven hydrogeologic units in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The hydrogeologic setting of the Colorado Plateau consists of thick Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic aquifers, predominantly sandstone and limestone, that are separated by regionally extensive confining units of fine-grained siliciclastic rocks, all overlain by generally thin Quaternary sediments. Based in part on the need to maintain consistency with previously published USGS hydrogeologic studies in the region (Craigg, 2001; Freethy and Cordy, 1991; Geldon, 2003; Glover and others, 1998), seven hydrogeologic units (HGUs) were modeled across the Upper Colorado River Basin: (1) TIPCG, Tertiary Intrusions and Precambrian Granite, a confining unit that includes crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks of all ages; (2) PZAU, Paleozoic aquifer unit, including Mississippian and Pennsylvanian carbonate rocks and Permian sandstones and conglomerate; (3) CMCU, the Chinle-Moenkopi confining unit, including red Triassic fine-grained sandstone, siltstone and shale; (4) MZAU, Mesozoic aquifer unit, including thick, dominantly eolian Triassic and Jurassic sandstones of the Glen Canyon Group and overlying dominantly fluvial and alluvial sandstones and shales of the San Rafael Group; (5) MCU, Mancos confining unit, including thick sections of Cretaceous marine shale; (6) KTAU, Cretaceous-Tertiary aquifer unit, including marginal marine to continental siliciclastic sections with locally thick Cenozoic volcanic rocks; and (7) QAU, Quaternary alluvial unit, consisting predominantly of alluvial sediment along modern washes and drainages. Surface and subsurface data compiled include a digital elevation model, geologic contacts shown on geologic maps, reported formation tops from oil and gas wells, and structure contour and isopach maps. Input surface and subsurface data have been reduced to points that define the elevation of the top of each hydrogeologic units; these point data sets serve as digital input to the 3D framework model. Surfaces representing the elevation of the top of each hydrogeologic unit were created through standard interpolation methods of input data points using two-dimensional horizon gridding software. Data were interpolated using faults as two-dimensional boundaries that acted as a barrier to information flow during interpolation. Resultant HGU elevations were mapped to an x, y array of 1-km polygonal cells in geographic information systems (GIS) software. Each cell within the array was assigned attributes representing the top elevation thickness of each hydrogeologic unit. This polygonal cellular array is essentially a “flattened”, 2.5D (multiple z values stored at each x,y coordinate) representation of the digital 3D HFM, defining the elevation, thickness, and extent of each of the 7 HGUs at every cell centroid. The digital dataset includes a geospatial database that contains the following data elements: (1) a digital hydrogeologic map and map of fault locations for the model domain, (2) compiled digital input data to the 3D HFM for each hydrogeologic unit; (3) the 3D HFM, stored as interpolated elevation and thickness of the seven hydrogeologic as attributes of an XY array of polygonal cells; and (4) elevation surfaces of each HGU interpolated as triangular irregular networks (TINs) and extruded volumes (“multipatch”). The spatial data are accompanied by non-spatial tables that describe the sources of geologic information, a glossary of terms, a description of model units, and a Data Dictionary that duplicates the Entity and Attribute information contained in the metadata file. Spatial data from the geodatabase are also saved in shapefile format and nonspatial tables from the geodatabase are also provided in CSV format.

This dataset shows depth contours to the top of the Frontier Formation within the Southwestern Wyoming Province, southwestern Wyoming, northeastern Utah, and northwestern Colorado.

This dataset shows depth ranges to the top of the Dakota Sandstone within the Uinta-Piceance Province, northwestern Colorado and northeastern Utah.

This publication presents a tabulation of the temperature and associated data of subsurface rocks and two maps showing the location of wells for which temperature information is available in the files of the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. Most of this information consists of the bottom hole temperatures measured by geophysical log surveys of wells drilled for oil, natural gas, and helium in the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau tectonic province of Arizona. It represents the first phase of a subsurface temperature project designed primarily for the use of earth scientists interested in the geothermal-energy potential of the state. The second phase of the project will present surface water temperature and associated data of numerous wells drilled for irrigation and other purposes located mostly in the Basin and Range tectonic province of Arizona.

Cell maps for each oil and gas assessment unit were created by the USGS as a method for illustrating the degree of exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in an assessment unit or province. A cell map was not created for the Menefee Coal-Bed Gas (50220381) assessment unit because it was considered a hypothetical assessment unit. The Mesaverde Updip oil had production wells associated with it but resource totals were below the minimum and wasn't quantitatively assessed. Each cell represents a quarter-mile square of the land surface, and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing, gas-producing, both oil and gas-producing, dry, or the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown. The well information was initially retrieved from the IHS Energy Group, PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, which is a proprietary, commercial database containing information for most oil and gas wells in the U.S. Cells were developed as a graphic solution to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data. No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell maps. The data from PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data were current as of October 2001 when the cell maps were created in 2002.
