Frequently asked questions
Where does well-level data for every US state come from?
State regulators hold the deepest records. The Texas Railroad Commission ships weekly Full Wellbore files covering every well ever permitted in the state, Colorado's ECMC publishes a 124,387-well point layer, North Dakota serves 43,824 Bakken wells, and USGS aggregates all US wells since 1817 into 1-mile grid squares.
Which rig count series goes back furthest?
EIA's rotary rig series opens in 1949, split onshore/offshore and by crude oil versus natural gas target from 1973. The Baker Hughes weekly benchmark - the global headline number, segmented by region, well type, drilling method and setting - carries history since 1990.
What is the best dataset for US shale drilling productivity?
The EIA Drilling Productivity Report. Its dpr-data.xlsx workbook holds eight sheets of about 212 monthly rows each from January 2007, covering rig counts, new-well production per rig and drilled-but-uncompleted wells for Anadarko, Appalachia, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Niobrara and Permian.
What is inside the Texas Railroad Commission record?
Weekly Full Wellbore extracts in EBCDIC and ASCII covering every wellbore segment ever permitted, a monthly drilling permit master, a nightly permit trailer carrying latitude and longitude, horizontal permit files and lease-level production ledgers - organized by RRC district and county.
Where can I find offshore well data for the Gulf of Mexico?
BSEE lists 57,482 Outer Continental Shelf well records - 55,549 in the Gulf of America, plus Pacific, Alaska and Atlantic planning areas - with operator, status, field and spud-date filters. The broader BSEE Data Center adds APD drilling permits, platforms, pipelines and OGOR production since 1996.
Can permit activity be tracked across many states at once?
Yes. OilPriceAPI's Drilling Intelligence aggregates more than 2.19 million permit records across 27 state regulators, with North Dakota alone spanning 41,899 permits back to December 23, 1904, plus operator rankings, rig counts, frac spreads and DUC series. Single-state depth comes from the registries themselves.
What data exists on fracking chemicals by well?
FracFocus, the national chemical disclosure registry run by the Ground Water Protection Council and IOGCC, holds 249,495 well disclosures since January 2011 - roughly 7.3 million ingredient-level rows across 16 CSVs, each keyed by CAS number with concentrations at the additive and whole-job level.
Which datasets support machine learning on drilling operations?
DataDRILL provides 2,337 and 2,774 samples with 28 real-time drilling variables each - weight on bit, hook load, flow in and out, depths - built for formation pressure prediction and kick detection. FormationEval packages 1,632 petroleum geoscience exam items with domains, difficulty grades and a public leaderboard.
