Updated Oil and Gas Well Data Available
WVGES Releases Update of Oil and Gas Well Data Publication
The West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey (WVGES) has released an update (8/3/05) to the digital publication of its oil and gas well data on
CD (see details about the original publication). Since this 8/3/05 version of the publication contains the entire database of
more than 138,000 wells, new customers can obtain the entire current database from this release. But, with each record in the files being date-stamped,
customers who purchased the original (1/31/05) version of the publication can distinguish those records in this updated version which have been added or
modified since the first release of the publication (1/31/05).
Among the changes to the database since the previous version are the addition of a few thousand new data records and many thousands of
changes/modifications made to improve the correctness of the data and its efficiency in operating within user software (see
a more detailed summary about changes/modifications).
Cost:
Cost to new customers is $495; cost to customers who already purchased the original version is $50. The cost, in either case, includes delivery via
first class mail; shipment via other means is available for an additional charge. Credit cards (VISA and MasterCard) are accepted.
Alternatives:
As always, the Survey will still be creating customized database retrievals per a customer's specifications in order to make available smaller, more
manageable files for those customers who don't need all of the well data. These customized "service requests" are available at a small fee.
To Order:
To order the publication or a "service request," contact Susan Kite at (304) 594-2331.
