Colorado oil and gas data

Where this comes from

Well records come from Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) for wells, and CDPHE's Air Pollution Control Division for ONGAEIR emissions reports. Facility and emissions layers, where present, come from EPA programs including GHGRP, NEI and ECHO, and from PHMSA for pipeline incidents. Atlas normalises these into one schema and joins them on the well API number.

Regulatory data has limits worth knowing. It does not capture failure-mode emissions, it can carry operator reporting errors, and it lags current conditions. Every figure above is a count of what the agency published, not an independent measurement.

Analysis

• Colorado Well Permit Search: Where ECMC Keeps the Records Colorado calls two unrelated records a well permit. Which agency holds yours, why the oil and gas search covers only 12 months, and where older permits sit.
• Oil Field Map: How to Find Any Named Field's Wells An oil field is one state agency's label, not a national object. What a field name means in the well records, and how to map one in Texas, Colorado, or Wyoming.
• UIC Well Classes: Class II, Class VI, and Where to Look What a UIC well is, how EPA's six injection well classes differ, why Class II dominates and Class VI carries carbon storage, and where records live.
• COGCC (ECMC) Data: Wells, Permits, Emissions in One Search The ECMC portal, formerly COGCC, looks up one record at a time. Search Colorado wells, permits and production in one box, linked to emissions and enforcement.
• Colorado Oil & Gas Map: Emissions and Enforcement Data Search 40,000+ Colorado oil and gas wells on one map, cross-linked with production, emissions, and enforcement from ECMC and CDPHE records. Try it free.
• Colorado Regulation 7: GHG Intensity Verification Factor How Colorado Regulation 7 Part B Section VIII scales ONGAEIR methane by CDPHE's 2025 verification factor of 1.164, plus the intensity targets through 2030.
• How to Get a Colorado Operator-Specific Verification Factor How Colorado operators replace the state default verification factor with an operator-specific one under Reg 7 Part B Section VIII, and when it pays off.
• Colorado ONGAEIR Due June 30: A Practical Filing Checklist Colorado ONGAEIR report for CY2025 is due June 30, 2026. Which facilities must report, required source categories, and a pre-submission checklist for operators.
