Where this comes from
Well records come from Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC). 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
- 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 Wells: What the Six Classes Mean and Where to Find Them What a UIC well is, how EPA's six injection well classes differ, why Class II dominates the count, and how to find UIC well records by state.
