Question 1

Which dataset has oil and gas production by country?

Accepted Answer

EIA International Energy Statistics. It publishes crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products, reserves, imports, exports and consumption series across 218 countries and territories at monthly, quarterly and annual frequencies, with regional aggregates alongside the national series. JODI adds a second, country-reported monthly vintage of the same flows across 52 participating economies.

Question 2

Which government publishes the most complete oil and gas data?

Accepted Answer

Norway is the benchmark. The Norwegian Offshore Directorate's FactPages cover about 140 fields with monthly production, roughly 700 discoveries, several thousand wellbores, licences, facilities and CO2 storage - every entity under one schema, and the only quality-10 record in this slice. Britain's NSTA counters with 733 UKCS datasets reporting production daily where Norway reports monthly.

Question 3

How far back does historical rig count data go?

Accepted Answer

To 1975 for the worldwide monthly master series, with weekly North American detail carrying more than 110,000 rows in the current workbook back to January 2000 and earlier archive files extending further. Counts break out by country, state, province, county, basin, drill-for target and trajectory, which makes the archive long enough to test drilling signals against several full price cycles.

Question 4

What is the best dataset for training machine learning models on oil wells?

Accepted Answer

Three serve different jobs. The 3W Dataset 2.0.0 ships roughly 2,228 labeled Parquet instances across ten undesirable-event classes from 42 real Petrobras wells - the direct match for anomaly detection. Equinor's Volve release offers about 40,000 files of logs, seismic and production for reservoir work, and the ROGII competition set adds around 200 labeled horizontal laterals for geosteering.

Question 5

How do I get Texas oil and gas production data at lease level?

Accepted Answer

Through the Texas RRC record in this slice. It carries the PDQ production dump spanning 1993 to present at lease level, every drilling permit since 1976, more than 1.5 million wellbores and district, county and field rollups - with summary production statistics extending back to 1935. Request a sample cut to your districts and counties and judge the rows directly.

Question 6

Is there a database of orphaned and abandoned wells?

Accepted Answer

The FracTracker Oil & Gas Wells Data Portal aggregates roughly 4.88 million individual well records across 33 US states into one filterable inventory, with spud dates and plug dates reaching back to the 1800s. Each row carries latitude and longitude plus state-assigned identifiers, which makes it usable both as a screening map and as a plugging-liability panel.

Question 7

Can I compare North Sea positions across Norway, the UK and the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and that is precisely what the register layer is for. Sodir FactPages covers the Norwegian shelf, the NSTA UK Data Centre covers the UKCS with 733 records, and the NLOG portal covers the Dutch shelf with borehole logs released after a five-year confidentiality window and monthly production since January 2003. Three jurisdictions, one field-dictionary logic, every licence screenable side by side.

Question 8

How is Datadory's integrated oil & gas data delivered?

Accepted Answer

As files, scheduled feeds, or written straight into your warehouse - daily, weekly, or hourly, your call. Extraction, typing and schema stability happen upstream of you, and the field dictionary travels with every delivery, so changing frequency later is a configuration change rather than a migration. Historical depth ships under the same contract as current rows.
