Save wellDOS.zip to a directory. wellDOS.zip contains two files: a zipped database file wellspublic.csv and a documentation file OilandGasMetadata.html. Unzip the database file and open it using a spreadsheet application. The documentation file can be viewed directly using an internet browser. The .csv file is the same data offered through the on-line searchable database.
| Description |
This dataset contains information and locations of oil, gas, storage, solution salt, stratigraphic, disposal, monitoring, and geothermal wells.
The Division of Mineral Resources maintains information and data on more than 40,000 wells,
categorized under New York State Article 23 Regulated wells. Additional information and data is
available online through the Oil and Gas Searchable Database at http://www.dec.ny.gov/cfmx/extapps/GasOil/.
