Welcome to the MMS eWell
Permitting and Reporting System

MMS is entering the world of online data exchange with business partners across the country. Electronic data submissions are a growing, vital part of the MMS's mission.

The use of electronic business (E-business) tools will greatly reduce the time involved in processing information, reduce the errors incurred during the data input process, and reduce the overall cost of doing business for both the Oil and Gas Industry and the Federal Government.

Many types of information (business objects) are submitted to the MMS on a daily basis, requiring significant human intervention. Working jointly with industry representatives and other regulatory agencies, MMS is testing solutions that provide both a standard regulatory reporting format and a more direct interface with our databases.

For eWell user support, call your local MMS District Office
or the help desk at 1-504-731-1550.
