- Abstract:
-
The USGS Central Region Energy Team assessed the
oil and gas resources of the United States. Cell maps for
each oil and gas production area were created by the
USGS as a method for illustrating the degree of exploration,
type of production, and distribution of production in a play.
Each cell represents a one-mile square of the land surface,
and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells
included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing,
gas-producing, or dry. The well information was initially
retrieved from the Petroleum Information Well History
Control System (WHCS), which is a proprietary, commercial
database containing information for most oil and gas wells in
the U.S. Cells were developed as a graphic solution to
overcome the problem of displaying proprietary WHCS data.
No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell
maps. The data used to generate the cells are from WHCS
and are current as of December, 1990.
- Purpose:
-
The purpose of the cell map is to display the exploration
maturity, type of production, and distribution of production in
one-mile cells for each of the oil and gas plays defined in
the 1995 U.S. National Oil and Gas Assessment.

- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
The accuracy of the cells, as created by the FORTRAN
program of D.H. Root and R.F. Mast, depends on the
accuracy of the oil and gas well information in the version of
the Petroleum Information System (PI) Well History Control
System (WHCS) database. For the national scale of the
1995 Oil and Gas Assessment, the assumption was made
that the data in WHCS were of sufficient accuracy for such
a national-scale analysis.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
A sampling of cell locations and cell attributes were visually
compared to a hard-copy plot of wells to identify errors.
- Completeness_Report:
-
The cells were defined using the well data in the
Petroleum Information System (PI) Well History Control
System (WHCS) database. The WHCS database contains
over two million wells for the U.S., which, although not a
complete tabulation of all U.S. wells, is the most complete
well database available for the United States.

- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
A visual comparison was made using a sampling of cell
locations and cell attributes with well locations and
attributes. In particular, the values of latitude and longitude
for the wells in WHCS were assumed to be accurate.

- Process_Description:
-
Oil and gas well information for each petroleum province in
the U.S. was analyzed with a FORTRAN program written by
D.H. Root (ret.) and R.F. Mast (ret.). This program
converted the PI WHCS data into latitude-longitude points
that represent the center-points of one-mile square cells.
The cells were then assigned an attribute based on the
type of production of the wells located within the cell. The
latitude-longitude center points were converted to an
Arc/INFO coverage using the GENERATE command.

was contained within the cell, the value was assigned
from the earliest completed well within the cell (e.g., code
98 means that the earliest well in the cell was completed in
the 1980's). A code of 81 (1810) indicates no data.
