Oil, gas and water produced, and water used for hydraulic fracturing treatments for wells in and near the Permian Basin during 2000-2019 was estimated using data reported in IHS Markit (TM) (2020). Hydraulic fracturing treatment data from IHS Markit (TM) (2020) may include volumes in a variety of measurement units, and they may include multiple treatments per well. All listed treatments within the study area were converted to gallons and summed on a per-well basis, discounting any treatments for which the specified measurement units were unclear (for example, “sacks”, or “feet”), which were minor. The per-well treatment volumes and oil, gas, and water production were then aggregated via summation to a 1-mile grid using ArcGIS functions. The annual aggregated hydraulic fracturing treatment data were exported as annual GeoTIFF images with a resolution of 1 square mile per pixel and bundled into a archive file. This data is not part of the USGS Aggregated Water Use Database (AWUDS) or the National Water Information System (NWIS).
