Identify Wells
The Identify Wells option allows you to click on a well to view its GIS wellbore attributes in a popup. Additional well information, if available, may be viewed by clicking on the Operator/Wellbore/PDQ, Well Logs, or Drilling Permits links located at the bottom of the popup. These links will not be available if the API number has not been identified in the GIS.
Note: Be sure to click directly on the well. If you don't, the message box below will appear.
- Operator/Wellbore/PDQ - This popup displays completion and plugging data, if available, for the identified well. It contains a link to Production Data (PDQ) for the oil lease or gas well.
Click the Print button at the top of the popup to print the Operator/Wellbore Attributes.
The Production Data Query (PDQ) link in the Completion Data table opens a new browser window to the Commission's Interactive Online Oil & Gas Production Data Query (PDQ) system and then perform a Specific Lease Query for the most recent 12 months of production for the oil lease or gas ID specified in the Completion Information.
The Data Ranges in the Specific Lease Query can be modified to view production data for other months and years. 
The Oil/Gas Imaged Records links in the Completion Data table accesses the Neubus image application. Through the Neubus screen you can view images of oil and gas records including drilling permits and plats (W-1s) filed before 5/2/2005, completion reports and attachments (W-2s and G-1s), plugging reports (W-3s), directional surveys, P-4s, and other miscellaneous documents that have been filed with the Commission.
In the future, you will also be able to view images of other forms filed with the Oil and Gas Division such as H-1s, H-5s, H-10s, and W-14s, as well as hearings files.
- Well Logs - This popup displays well log information and a link to view any scanned well log images if available for the identified well. The Commission began scanning well logs in June of 2004. Logs will be available through this link if they were filed in or after June 2004.
To download the well log image, click the View link on the left. This brings up a Windows File Download popup which asks if you want to open the file or save it to your computer.
Click the Open button to view the well log .TIF image file, or click the Save button to save it it to your computer.
Note: the actual well log can be up to 125 feet long which may make the file size very large. TIF files can take some time to download, especially with a dial up connection. If you have problems viewing these TIF files, refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for suggestions.
- Drilling Permits - This popup displays drilling permit information, if available for the identified well, using a link to the RRC Online Drilling Permit Application Query System. Drilling permit information in the online system dates back to 1977.

This tool can be useful when applying for an injection permit to identify wells within a ¼-mile of the proposed well location. The shaded area will remain in your display at the last location drawn until the Entire State button is selected or you close the GIS viewer window.
