Resource Abstract:
- description: Cell maps for each Paleogene oil and gas assessment unit were created by the USGS to illustrate the degree of
exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in an assessment unit or province. Cell maps were also created
to illustrate the distribution of dry wildcat wells for each assessment unit. Each cell represents a quarter-mile square of
the land surface, and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing,
gas-producing, both oil and gas-producing, dry, or the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown.
The well information was initially retrieved from the IHS Energy Group, PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, which is a proprietary,
commercial database containing information for most oil and gas wells in the U.S. Cells were developed as a graphic solution
to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data. No proprietary data are displayed or included
in the cell maps. The data from PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data are current as of 2004.; abstract: Cell maps for each Paleogene
