PA Data Updates, New DataTool Charting Functionality

Several oil and gas datasets from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have been updated on the FracTracker DataTool, including:

• Active MS Permits in PA (2011-10-26)
• 2011 Drilled Wells in Pennsylvania (2011-10-26)
• All MS Drilled Wells in PA (2011-10-26)
• 2011 Marcellus Shale Violations in PA

Additionally, a Pennsylvania zip code dataset from the US Census has been added, but it appears to have some errors, with some zip codes inside Pennsylvania missing, and some outside of the border included.

PA zip codes. Please click the “i” tool then any map feature for more information.

Also, Rhiza Labs, the software developer of our DataTool, has been working hard to add new charting functionality to their Upshot platform. Any data that is classified as numeric upon upload can be charted. Play around with it, and let us know what you think.
