Oil and Gas Field Static Maps

Use these links to find static maps of oil and gas fields and associated statistics

Oil and Gas Leases by State: Bureau of Land Management. Maps show producing, non-producing, and suspended leases as of November 2007. Maps are in .pdf format.

Detailed Oil/Gas/Coalbed Methane Field Maps: United States Energy Information Association. Basin-specific oil and gas field maps are included and show the locations, boundaries, names, and either the barrel-of-oil equivalent (BOE), the liquid hydrocarbon (crude oil plus lease condensate), or the natural gas reserve size for each field (2001 data). Additional maps include the 100 volumetrically largest oil and/or natural gas fields for proved resources and the status of coalbed methane in the United States. Maps are in .pdf format.

Oil and Gas Fields and Pipelines of Utah: Good, large map showing oil and gas fields, reservoir rock types, oil and gas pipelines, and operators. Map is in .pdf format. Web site contains additional geologic maps.

Interactive Web Mapping

Use these links to explore interactive maps and create your own purpose-built maps. Interactive maps allow users to search and explore available data, which can then be dynamically mapped and exported.

National Integrated Land System Geocommunicator: GeoCommunicator provides searching, accessing and dynamic mapping of BLM activities including Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Leasing, Coal and Other Solid Mineral Leasing, Right-of-way (ROW) Corridors, Stipulations (no surface occupancy etc.), Mining Claims (unpatented), Land Use Permit, Land & Mineral Title, and many more.

USGS National Oil and Gas Assessment: Interactive map showing oil and gas basins of the US with links to full geologic reports and individual assessments for each basin with information on discovered and undiscovered oil and gas resources.

Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Interactive Maps: Provides searching accessing, and dynamic mapping of Colorado oil and gas leases, wells, pits, stipulations, water wells, groundwater, well samples, land ownership, methane seeps, soils, etc. Includes an additional interactive map for wildlife habitat. (Mapguide 6.5 plug-in required)

Colorado Division of Water Resources-Decision Support System:
Interactive map tool for making water resource decisions. Includes stream gauge data, water diversions, climate data (evaporation, precipitation, radiation), instream flow, hydrography, land use, groundwater levels, and groundwater wells.

Utah Oil and Gas Well Locator: Interactive map tool for locating oil and gas wells in Utah. Shows oil and gas fields, wells, and associated data.

Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation Webmapper: The WebMapper was developed to provide the citizens of Montana, the oil and gas industry, and other interested persons the ability to visually examine the spatial location of oil and gas producing wells throughout the state as related to roads, townships, rivers, and other cultural features.

Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Map Server: Interactive mapping for Wyoming

New Mexico State Land Office-Geographic Information Center
LOGIC (Land Office Geographic Information Center) provides a web map-viewer for general land status and oil/gas/minerals. The map viewer allows users to search and view by township, range, lease number, and well API number. 

SAGEMAP Interactive Map: Sagebrush And Grassland Ecosystem Map Assessment Project. SAGEMAP provides spatial data for the management of shrubsteppe and associated wildlife (sage grouse) in the western U.S. SAGEMAP is in the process of creating an improved interactive map, but the old one is still available for use.

Downloadable GIS Data

Use these links to find, access, and download spatial data for use in a geographic information system. Most data are in shapefile format for use in GIS software, such as ArcGIS.

SAGEMAP: Includes thousands of data files related to shrubsteppe management and wildlife including sage grouse.

Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission GIS Download: Includes shapefiles for wells, facilities, permit locations, wildlife habitat, Roan Rim buffer, etc.

Natural Diversity Information Source: Colorado Division of Wildlife. Includes shapefiles of statewide wildlife species activity, vegetation, hydrography, and administrative boundaries.

Statewide GIS Layers for BLM Colorado: Includes some oil and gas data and land designations.

BLM Wyoming GIS Data Layers: Includes oil and gas sale parcels for different periods, no surface occupancy data, wildlife habitat, groundwater wells, ROWs, soils, and vegetation.

Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center: This clearinghouse provides browsing and query tools for locating and downloading spatial data. More than 200 data sets are available.

Wyoming Energy Resource Information Clearinghouse Data: This data catalog includes more than 600 data sets for download. Data themes include biology/ecology, energy, environmental, facilities/structures, wildlife, economic, cultural, and geologic.

Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative -Data Clearinghouse:
More than 600 data sets are available for download. Data themes include energy (oil/gas and renewables), mining, hydrology, geology, habitat, wildlife, land management, census, etc. Most layers are ArcIMS feature classes or Open GIS Consortium Web Map Service Layers. Some layers can be added and viewed on the included interactive interface, while others are available for download.

Utah’s State Geographic Information Database: The State Geographic Information Database (SGID) contains files and links to many different categories of data sets including environment, geology, energy, wildlife, hydrology, land cover, and cultural.

Utah Division of Wildlife Resources GIS Data: Available data include threatened, endangered, and sensitive species occurrences, bird and mammal habitat coverages, hunt boundaries, and management units. Data are in shapefile format.

Free/Open Source GIS Software

These free GIS applications allow users to view data layers and perform simple analysis.

ArcReader
ArcReader is a free, easy-to-use desktop mapping application that allows users to view, explore, and print maps and globes. Anyone with ArcReader can view high-quality interactive maps authored by a higher level ArcGIS Desktop product and published with the ArcGIS Publisher extension. ArcGIS is the preferred GIS software used by over 80% of all GIS professionals.

GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System)
GRASS is used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization.

Quantum GIS
Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user-friendly open source GIS that runs on GNU/Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and MS Windows. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats and is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

QGIS lets you browse, edit and create a variety of vector and raster formats, including ESRI shapefiles, spatial data in PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GRASS vectors and rasters, or GeoTiff. You can create customized plugins and GIS enabled applications using Python or C++. Maps can be compiled for printing using the print composer.
