ell Information and Data Available in ASCII Files for Downloading
The files in the table below are very large files. (Please note the file size before downloading.)
Well Information and Data includes information on borehole activities such as drilling activity, counts on the number of boreholes completed, and number of shut-in's.
Additional information includes the lease number, well name, spud date, the well class, surface area/block number, and statistics on well status summary.
Additional files are available on well completions and well tests.
Please read our disclaimer prior to downloading files.
Download a copy of the file you want by clicking on Fixed or Delimited under the Download column of the table below.
The Fixed Format provides a defined length for each field within the file and the Delimited Format provides the data fields delimited with quotes (") and separated by commas (,). Once you have downloaded the data and have decompressed the file using PKZIP or
WinZip, the data can then be imported into a variety of database or spreadsheet packages to facilitate queries or reports.
For additional information, visit FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) about importing files.
For a complete record layout and associated data definitions click on the File Name of interest.
NOTE: All surveys are referenced to
grid north in the native map projection of the block containing the surface
location of the survey. For some old surveys the
north reference was not marked and was assumed by MMS to be grid north.
NOTE: In an effort to improve the quality of
our downloadable data, we are now exporting bottom hole locations as calculated
from the directional survey associated with the well.
NOTE:
The coordinate values were derived using the North American Datum
(NAD) 1927.
NOTE: Internet files are
scheduled for updates on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. If an update has not
completed after 24 hours of the stated schedule, an email should be sent to
GulfPublicInfo@mms.gov providing the
webpage address for further investigation.
