This week, a new public website was unveiled that provides participating states’ well data. The site is called National Oil & Gas Gateway and it can be found here – www.noggateway.org
One stop shopping for well data. It is basically a consolidated source for oil and gas well data from the states that participate. In short, “[t]he Gateway is the first publically available website of well-level data across the nation” and its information is submitted by individual participating states.
According to the “About” section of the website, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) collaborated with the Ground Water Protection Council (“GWPC”) and its member states, along with the Office of Fossil Energy, to put the Gateway together.

What info does it provide?
The Gateway reportedly includes, “data on well identification, production, completion, well tests, underground injection control, geologic information, and other data elements determined by each state” and it “also integrates the hydraulic fracturing chemical disclosures from FracFocus.”
According to NGI’s Shale Daily, “[w]ell data is to be updated monthly by participating states.”
The Gateway reportedly only includes well data from participating states. While all oil and gas producing states can participate, so far, ten states are submitting their well data information, including the following:
-
Alabama
-
Arkansas
-
Colorado
-
Kentucky
-
Mississippi
-
Nebraska
-
New York
-
Oklahoma
-
Utah
-
West Virginia
Problem: You’ll note that some of the major producing states are currently absent from this list…
This is pretty rad and it is a great new resource. Having easy access to oil and gas well data in one place is a serious benefit instead of having to go to each state’s oil and gas commission website, as noted by the article in NGI’s Shale Daily. According to Daily Energy Insider, “Gateway users can view, analyze, and export data on oil and gas wells, including well location, name, unique API number, operator, current status, type, production, injection, and disposition.”
Hopefully more producing states participate!
