Scott Kinney 2015 Unknown Downloadable GIS Data Data Release DR-F74747WB Denver, Colorado USGS https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F74747WB This dataset represents the producing, dry holes, wildcat wells and wells that have other well type categories other than the ones mentioned previously in Louisiana. These wells were used to create gas and oil field polygons. The field polygons include discovery data, number of producing wells in the field, average measured depth of those well, total gas and oil production from 1977-2014, gas oil ratio (GOR), and field type. Also, included is a table with historic gas and oil production from 1977-2014. The purpose for creating this data is to provide the public with an overall view (Spatially) of the extent of gas and oil fields in Louisiana. Also, the type of field (i.e. gas or oil) and the cumulative production in the field from 1977-2014. The state of Louisiana provides this data from the Sonris web site within the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources. Using the information the state of Louisiana has provided it was collated into a cumulative and geospatial form for general public use.

This geodatabase based on the available data is as error-free as possible. This geodatabase contain the most current and up to date data the state of Louisiana has available for public use. The accuracy of the data depends upon the accuracy of the data sets from the state of Louisiana used to construct the database in Access.

The cumulative production files for gas and oil by field ranking by year (1977 – 2014) were copied from the Louisiana Sonris site and pasted into excel by year. These Excel files were imported into Access. The Oil and Gas wells database and field center points were downloaded from the Sonris GIS access site as geodatabases. These geodatabases were opened in ArcMap and there tables were exported as dbf files and imported into Access. In Access the field production numbers were summed. From the sums a gas/oil ration (GOR) was calculated to determine the field type i.e. gas field or oil field. The USGS standard is below 20,000 equal’s an oil field and above 20,000 is a gas field. This table was linked (on field name) to the field center point table to pull in the discovery year. Using the wells file the measured depth was averaged on field name and this was added to the fields (cumulative production) file by linking on field name as was the field code ID. A well count (total of wells in a field) was also added by summing the field name column. The wells file was used to pull out dry holes (based on the legend description field) and wildcats based on the field name of wildcat. This file (wells file) was also used to create the field buffers in ArcMap based on buffering field name with an extent (buffer) of 2,000 feet and using dissolve all. The polygon buffering file that was created in ArcMap was joined to the cumulative production file based on field name. After the join the file was exported to a geodatabase. That geodatabase was brought into ArcMap and edits were done. Most of the edits were due to wells having the wrong field name assigned to them. If a polygon was far away from the main group it was deleted. An example is the Monroe Gas field in northern Louisiana. Many well are assigned to it and it creates a large polygon, but some of the well that were assigned to the Monroe field were all over the state. No guesses were made the extra polygons were deleted.

Field ID: numeric code assigned by the state to the field. Discovery year: the year the field was discovered. Well Count: the number of wells associated with a particular field. Casinghead Gas: the cumulative amount of casinghead gas (in Mcf) a field has produced from 1977 – 2014. Natural Gas: the cumulative amount of natural gas (in Mcf) a field has produced from 1977 – 2014. Gas Total: the total amount of gas (casinghead gas plus natural gas in Mcf) the field has produced from 1977 – 2014. Condensate: the cumulative amount of condensate (in barrels) a field has produced from 1977 – 2014. Crude Oil: the cumulative amount of crude oil (in barrels) a field has produced from 1977 – 2014. Oil Total: the total amount (condensate plus crude) a field has produced from 1977 – 2014. GOR: Gas Oil Ratio. This is a number for determining if a field is a gas field or an oil field. The gas is divided by the oil. The standard for the USGS is below 20,000 or equal to it is an oil field if the number is higher than 20,000 it is a gas field. Field Type: based on the GOR the field become “Gas” or “Oil”. If the field has no reported production it is classed “Unknown”. Average of Measured Depth: this is the average of the wells in a field measured depth. U.S. Geological Survey GS ScienceBase mailing address
