New York Oil and Gas Well Production from 1985 to 2000

Annual production records for oil and gas wells in New York State, covering a 16-year period. The dataset provides detailed well-level information including operator, location, formation, and output volumes. It is published by the New York State government organization data.ny.gov.

Use Cases

• Analyzing production trends by 'Company Name' and 'Reporting Year' to assess operator activity over time.
• Mapping well locations using 'County', 'Town', and 'Location 1' fields for spatial analysis of extraction sites.
• Correlating 'Gas Produced (MCF)' and 'Water Produced (bbl)' with 'Producing Formation' to evaluate reservoir performance.
• Studying the operational lifespan of wells by examining 'Months in Production' and 'Well Status' changes.

Strengths

• Provides a 16-year longitudinal record from 1985 to 2000 for analyzing historical trends.
• Includes detailed technical and operational columns such as 'API Well Number', 'Well Type', and 'Producing Formation'.
• Contains production metrics for multiple outputs: gas (MCF), water (bbl), and months of operation.

Limitations

• Key metadata such as exact row count, file size, and license information is unavailable across all sources.
• Data is historical and does not include production after the year 2000.
• Some platform entries list extraneous columns like 'NYS Municipal Boundaries' which may not be core data.
