Oklahoma oil and gas data

Wells by status

Status labels are Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC)'s own. They are not standardised between states, so these counts describe Oklahoma only.

Where this comes from

Well records come from Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). 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

• Saltwater Disposal Wells: How Many, and Where to Find Them How many saltwater disposal wells seven states report, why the disposal and enhanced recovery split is not comparable between them, and where the records live.
• 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.
• Oklahoma Earthquake Map: 28,000 Events and What Drives Them Where Oklahoma's earthquakes cluster, how the 2009 surge rose and fell, and what USGS attributes it to. Map every event beside the injection wells.
• 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.
• OCC Well Data Finder, Mapped: Oklahoma Wells and Gas Data OCC splits Oklahoma well records across the Well Data Finder, RBDMS and imaging. See 456,000 wells on one map, with USGS gas composition where sampled.
