- Description:
-
- Abstract:
- Cell maps for each oil and gas play were created by the USGS as a
method for illustrating the degree of exploration, type of production, and
distribution of production in a play or province. Each cell represents a
quarter-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, both oil and gas-producing, or dry. The well
information was initially retrieved from the Petroleum Information (PI)
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 from WHCS were current as of December
1990 when the cell maps were created in 1994.
- Purpose:
- The purpose of the cell map is to display the exploration maturity,
type of production, and distribution of production in quarter-mile cells
in each of the oil and gas plays and each of the provinces defined for the
1995 U.S. National Oil and Gas Assessment.
- Supplemental_Information:
- Oil and gas plays within province 35 (Wind River Basin) are listed
here by play number, type, and name:

- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- A sampling of cell locations and cell attributes were visually
compared to a hard-copy plot of wells to identify errors.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- The accuracy of the cells, as created by the FORTRAN program of D.H.
Root and R.F. Mast, depends wholly upon the accuracy of the oil and gas well
information in the version of the PI 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.
- Completeness_Report:
- The cells were defined using the well data in the PI 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_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 data for each province in the U.S. was run through
a FORTRAN program written by D.H. Root (ret.) and R.F. Mast (ret.). This
program converted the WHCS data into latitude-longitude points that
represent the center-points of quarter-mile 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 in the
.cls files from the NOGA 95 Spatial Data Disk (DDS 35) were reformatted
into Arc/Info Generate format (ASCII) files. They were then imported
into ArcInfo coverages using the GENERATE command. Region/province/play
numbers and names were appended to the file using lookup information
acquired from tables on the NOGA 95 Tabular Information Disk (DDS36).
Finally, production status from the original .cls file were joined to
the coverages.
