Description:
Abstract:
A cells polygon feature class was created by the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) to illustrate the degree of exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in the State of Indiana. 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 the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown or dry. The well information was acquired from the Indiana Geological Survey, Petroleum Database Management System (PDMS). Using the table viewer at <http://igs.indiana.edu/pdms/getdata.cfm>, oil and gas well events and locations tables were downloaded for the entire state of Indiana. Cells were developed as a graphic solution to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary well data. No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell maps. The data are current as of 2006.
Purpose:
This Geographic Information System (GIS) dataset was created to display present and past oil and gas production in the United States, as well as the location and intensity of exploratory drilling outside producing areas. This map compilation is an updated version of the USGS map that was published by Mast and others (1998). This product differs from other oil and gas maps of the United States in the following ways: (1) the oil and gas data sources are current as of 2004 through 2006, (2) base cartographic reference data are included, using the USGS National Map and a World Shaded Relief map service from the ESRI geography network, (3) an internet map service is available online, (4) Alaska oil and gas data are included. To construct this map, digital data were used from more than 3 million wells in IHS Inc.'s PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, current through 10/1/2005. In some areas, the PI/Dwights data tend not to be complete, particularly for pre-1920 production. IHS data was supplemented with state wells databases for Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois, and Ohio, (current as of 2004 to 2006).

Access_Constraints:
There are no constraints on the access of this data layer. Also, the Petroleum Database Management System (PDMS) is available to anyone, subject to current freedom of information statutes in the state of Indiana.
Use_Constraints:
This database may not be distributed in whole or in part without acknowledgement of the Indiana Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey. The Petroleum Database Management System (PDMS) wells data set that serves as the source for these cells was compiled by Indiana University, Indiana Geological Survey, using data believed to be accurate; however, a degree of error is inherent in all data. The PDMS is distributed "AS-IS" without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of suitability of a particular purpose or use. No attempt has been made in either the designed format or production of these data to define the limits or jurisdiction of any federal, state, or local government. They are not to be construed as a legal document or survey instrument. A detailed on-the-ground survey and historical analysis of a single site may differ from this data.

Data_Set_Credit:
To aggregate well data into quarter-mile cells, oil and gas well data were run through an Arc Macro Language (AML) program written by L.R.H. Biewick, S. Weiler, and C.C. Skinner. The source wells data set is from the Indiana Geological Survey, Petroleum Database Management System (PDMS) <http://igs.indiana.edu/pdms/>

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The cell locations and cell attributes were visually compared to the hard-copy map: Mast, R.F., Root, D.H., Williams, L.P., Beeman, W.R., and Barnett, D.L., 1998, Areas of historical oil and gas exploration and production in the conterminous United States: U.S. Geological Survey Oil and Gas Investigations Map I-2582, 1 sheet; <http://energy.cr.usgs.gov/oilgas/noga/oilgasmap.htm> and <http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/ofr-95-0075-c/>
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The accuracy of the cells, as created by the Arc Macro Language (AML) program of L.R.H. Biewick, S. Weiler and C.C. Skinner, depends upon the accuracy of the locatable oil and gas wells GIS data layer from the Indiana Geological Survey, Petroleum Database Management System (PDMS). For the USGS map compilation showing Areas of Historical Oil and Gas Exploration and Production in the United States, the assumption was made that the data from the Indiana Geological Survey were of sufficient accuracy for such a national-scale analysis.
Completeness_Report:
The Indiana Geological Survey is anxious to provide the most complete and accurate petroleum well information in the PDMS, which was used as the source wells data for these 1/4-sq. mi. cells. The current version of the PDMS contains a wealth of useful information, however, it will take considerable time and resources to enter and review all available data. Users of the PDMS should bear in mind that it has not been "finished." <http://igs.indiana.edu/pdms/Help/pdmshelpindex.htm>
Positional_Accuracy:
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. Although well locations in the PDMS are normally staked by a registered surveyor, the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) has determined that the locations and elevations reported are occasionally erroneous. Consequently, in the 1950s, the IGS began checking the locations and elevations of new and older wells in the field. Most well locations in Indiana have been verified in the field. The field checking process is performed with a surveyor's altimeter and USGS topographic map, and is subject to the abilities of the geologist, the accuracy of the altimeter (generally in the range of 3 feet) and the reliability of the base elevations posted on the topographic map and of the map itself. A staked location that has been field checked is sometimes moved a short distance when the well is drilled, so the field checked location will be slightly inaccurate (generally less than 30 feet off). A location checked after a dry hole has been plugged is subject to some error, the amount depending on the situation.

Process_Description:
Oil and gas well data for the State of Indiana were run through an Arc Macro Language (AML) program written by L.R.H. Biewick, S. Weiler, and C.C. Skinner. This program aggregated and converted the 2006 Indiana oil and gas well data into quarter-mile cells and latitude-longitude points that represent the center-points of the quarter-mile cells. The Indiana cells were then assigned an attribute based on the type of production of the wells located within the cell. The SYMBOL attribute was used to populate wellsymb and ultimately cellsymb (<http://igs.indiana.edu/pdms/Help/pdmshelpindex.htm>).
