Oil and Natural Gas Wells 2023

This feature class/shapefile represents Oil and Natural Gas Wells. An Oil and Natural Gas Well is 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.

本数据集的要素类/形状文件描绘了石油与天然气井。石油与天然气井是指在地球上钻探的孔洞，旨在寻找或生产原油或天然气；或提供与原油或天然气的生产相关的服务。地理覆盖范围包括美国（阿拉巴马州、阿拉斯加州、亚利桑那州、阿肯色州、加利福尼亚州、科罗拉多州、佛罗里达州、伊利诺伊州、印第安纳州、堪萨斯州、肯塔基州、路易斯安那州、马里兰州、密歇根州、密苏里州、蒙大拿州、北达科他州、内布拉斯加州、内华达州、新墨西哥州、纽约州、俄亥俄州、俄克拉荷马州、俄勒冈州、宾夕法尼亚州、南达科他州、田纳西州、德克萨斯州、犹他州、弗吉尼亚州、华盛顿州、西弗吉尼亚州、怀俄明州）以及加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省和曼尼托巴省的石油与天然气井，这些井位于与美国边界100英里范围内。根据能源信息署（EIA）的数据，以下州没有活跃的/生产的石油或天然气井：康涅狄格州、特拉华州、哥伦比亚特区、乔治亚州、夏威夷州、爱荷华州、爱达荷州、马萨诸塞州、缅因州、明尼苏达州、北卡罗来纳州、新罕布什尔州、新泽西州、罗德岛州、南卡罗来纳州、佛蒙特州和威斯康星州。某些州设有地下天然气储存设施，当这些设施被识别时，它们也被纳入其中。本图层由各州和省以及美国机构的井数据衍生而来。本图层在美国方面已经完整，但加拿大两个省份和墨西哥缺失的数据的进一步开发正在进行中。本次更新发布包括覆盖德克萨斯州的497,036个井数据。德克萨斯州的石油和天然气勘探利用钻井技术，在单一地面井钻井位置钻多个井底井连接以提取石油和天然气。添加德克萨斯州的井数据导致添加了一个相关表格，以支持单一地面井与多个井底连接的关系。此相关表格提供了与地面井相连的多个井底记录。
