Item Identification

Title: Oil and Gas Wells
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2018-06-06
Abstract:

This dataset contains surface locations of oil and gas wells located in the waters surrounding the United States and associated territories. This feature class is intended for use with the accompanying table titled Oil and Gas Wells (Table). It was necessary to separate the data into an feature class and table because some wells have more than one well record associated with it, each identified by a unique API (American Petroleum Institute) number. These diverging paper trails are often due to co-leasee relationships between multiple operators. Because one geospatial point feature can represent multiple wells, the accompanying table should be joined to this feature in a one-to-many relationship to ensure all data is displayed correctly and completely.These data were retrieved from many different State and Federal Government sources, and there was great diversity of attribution, quality and recency among the sources. This resulting dataset represents the best possible effort to create a temporally relevant data collection with a unified schema appropriate for the intended audience. All users are encouraged to visit the source agencies websites listed in the attributes for the most updated and complete records on individual wells and specific areas of interest. It may also be helpful to consult the lineage section of this document for additional information on each data source.
Purpose:

To support coastal and ocean planning and other activities pursuant to the Energy Policy Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Rivers and Harbors Act and the Submerged Lands Act.
Supplemental Information:

The native coordinate system for this layer is WGS 1984 World Mercator (ESPG: 3395). Please note: all MarineCadastre.gov data served by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management and hosted through Esri REST services are in the WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (EPSG: 3857) projection.

Process Date/Time: 2018-06-04 00:00:00

Process Step 8

CC ID: 791972
Description:

Again using the Find Identical Tool, assign geographically coincident well records the same Match_ID number.
Process Date/Time: 2018-06-04 05:00:00

Process Step 9

CC ID: 791973
Description:

Merge all layers together. Call the new file OilGasWells.
Process Date/Time: 2018-06-04 04:00:00

Process Step 10

CC ID: 791974
Description:

Delete all attributes from OilGasWells feature class. Use Delete Identical tool to find and delete records with duplicate Match_ID numbers.
