The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) publishes unconventional oil and gas production data twice a year. In its raw form, the data show the production values per well for a given six month period, either January to June or July to December. The FracTracker Alliance has aggregated the five most recent unconventional production reports […]
In the wacky world of oil and gas data, you never know what unexpected treasures there are to be found. For that matter, you never know what standard data will remain out of reach.

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) maintains datasets that are updated nightly for permits, drilled wells, and violations.

Last week, I took a quick look at the newly released, semi-annual unconventional production report published by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) Office of Oil and Gas Management. The results were fairly stunning: it showed a decrease in production from 607 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the period from July to December 2011 […]

Permits data for Marcellus Shale wells in West Virginia has recently been updated on FracTracker’s DataTool [map archived] Astute viewers will note that there is a well drawn in the Athens, OH area, a good 20 miles from the West Virginia border as […]

Sometimes, however, it seems like the simplest questions have an answer that starts off with, “Well, it’s complicated…” Such is the case when it comes to fines issued by […]
