As we recently learned with unconventional production report, one never quite knows when Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) datasets are complete. According to the Post-Gazette, PADEP considers the reports to speak for themselves, and information is shared with the public without preamble or fanfare as it becomes available. Therefore, we can’t know that self-reported […]
This information is out of date. Please visit our FracMapper page for updated PA maps. There are two new Pennsylvania watershed available for download on FracTracker’s DataTool: Pennsylvania Watersheds (HUC12), which shows the boundaries of watershed boundaries within the state at relatively fine level of detail. In general, the higher the number associated with the […]
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 […]
Usually, I try to let readers know the state of affairs related to oil and gas extraction by taking a hard look at publicly available data. 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 […]

A few days ago, I talked about the nebulous situation in trying to determine just how many Marcellus Shale permits there are in Pennsylvania. Many of the same concerns with permits can lead to multiple occurrences on the spud report which is the source of the drilled well data in Pennsylvania. Without going into all […]
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has updated their delivery mechanism of violation data, and it is now possible to search all inspections, including those that do not result in violations. To test it out, I downloaded all oil and gas inspection data from January 1, 2011 to January 16, 2012. Here is a summary […]
by Josh Knauer, CEO of Rhiza At Rhiza, we love to experiment with new ways of visualizing data that help tell better data stories. In most of our work environments, using data is kind of difficult and visualizing is usually left to data experts. We’d love to see a future where sharing data visualizations (maps, charts, explanations, […]
Three drilled wells datasets for Pennsylvania have been updated or created, including: 2011 Drilled Wells in Pennsylvania (2011-12-16) (all oil and gas wells) All MS Drilled Wells in PA (2011-12-16) (Marcellus Shale only), and PA Municipalities with MS Wells: Count and Density (Marcellus Shale only) The last of the three datasets is the most unique, […]
