The Ground Water Protection Council (GPWC), with the support of the U.S. Department of Energy and The Energy Information Administration have developed the National Oil and Gas Gateway. The Gateway is the first public website where well level data from all participating States can be viewed, aggregated and retrieved from one location. Prior to the development of the Gateway, the only way to see a national picture of well level data was to visit each producing State’s website and consolidate the data or purchase commercial databases. With the Gateway, this data is available via one websitts.
The Gateway website is an invaluable tool for government, industry and financial analysts, scientific researchers, and others who want a simple way to obtain and analyze well level data across the United States.
Benefits of the Gateway for States include a more robust portrait of State activity within a national context, data to view intra- and inter-basin activity in adjoining States, fewer staff hours spent responding to external inquiries, and increase transparency.
