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.

An oil and/or gas lease is an agreement between a mineral owner (lessor) and a company (lessee) in which the owner grants the company the right to explore, drill and produce oil, gas, and other minerals below the surface of the earth. Oil and gas leases are created so that property owner can maintain their mineral rights while leasing their land to an extraction company.The Kansas Geological Survey maintains and publishes this GIS data. The Kansas Department of Revenue is the data originator, and they send updates to the KGS monthly.

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.

Class II injection wells come in two varieties: disposal wells and secondary/enhanced oil recovery wells. Disposal wells are used to inject fluids into rock formations that do not produce oil or gas. The formations are isolated from usable quality groundwater and are sealed above and below by unbroken and impermeable rock formations. Secondary/enhanced oil recovery wells are used to inject fluids into formations/reservoirs that produce oil or gas. The formations are also isolated. Injection of fluid into these formations often allows for increased recovery of oil or gas reserves. For more information, see the Kansas Corporation Commission's FAQ on Class II Injection Wells. To query Class II wells, see the interactive KGS query tool.Class II injection wells in Kansas are regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission. The data is collected and distributed by the Kansas Geological Survey.

This layer shows locations of oil and gas wells that were designated to be part of the Type Logs Project. This project was conducted by the Energy Research Department of the Kansas Geological Survey.This project created extended data for wells. Some of the extended data includes the well tops for each well and the owner of the tops, the result of the Type Log Committee evaluation of the tops, the Stratigraphic Units for the Type Log Project & CO2 Project, the Committee members for the Type Log Project that are selecting & evaluating the tops, and Log LAS 3.0 files. This type Log LAS 3.0 file contains the Log ASCII Standard (LAS) 3.0 File Information for the final files containing the Log Data, Tops Data and, if present, the Geologist Report Data. These files are part of the final deliverables for the Type Log Project and are also part of the CO2 Project mapper program to allow the user to build General Cross Sections with these files.

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 Washingt ...

These data show the elevation in feet above mean sea level of the base and top, the extent, the elevation in feet above mean sea level for the potentiometric surface, and the concentration in milligrams per liter (mg/L) of total dissolved solids in ground water of the Dakota aquifer in Kansas. The data presented can be used to delineate the dominant features of the regional flow system within the Dakota aquifers. Such information is valuable in studies focusing on the management of water resources in the Dakota aquifers and other hydraulically connected sources of water. This data is from the Kansas Geological Survey - Geohydrology. The Dakota aquifer consists of sandstone bodies in the Cretaceous Dakota Formation and Cheyenne Sandstone. The coverages were developed from 1:100,000-, 1:175,000-, 1:500,000-, and 1:1,000,000-scale information. The data used to construct the top and base altitude coverages are from oil and gas exploration and production wells penetrating the Dakota aquifer. The data used to map the altitudes consist primarily of gamma ray logs and supplemented by drillers' logs in the Salina basin of north-central Kansas.

Welcome to the KDHE / KCC Chloride Contaminated Sites Viewer. This web app displays the Public Land Survey (PLSS) sections in Kansas that contain sites undergoing remediation for chloride contamination. This map does not show the exact area of contamination, but only highlights the legal boundary within which the contamination took place.Please note:Chloride contamination on state-led contaminated sites, voluntary sites, orphan sites, and state-led federal Superfund sites are regulated by the Bureau of Remediation at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (affected sections are orange on the map).Chloride contamination resulting from oil and gas exploration and production activities are regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) through the Abandoned Oil and Gas Well/Site Remediation Program (affected sections are purple on the map).The remediation locations are approximate only.KDHE and KCC make no assurances of the accuracy or validity of information presented on this map. Data is updated as needed.For further information, please contact the Bureau of Remediation . More information about KDHE can be found on the Kansas Department of Health and Environment website .
