Summary
Abstract: Adapted from the National Geoscience Data Repository System

The Alabama Geological Survey Well Information data set within the
National Geoscience Data Repository System (NGDRS) contains a large
amount of information on the various oil/gas/water wells throughout
Alabama and the northeastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico. For each
well an Alabama State Oil and Gas Board (ASOGB) permit number and
location is given. Lists of the available well logs and core
samples are also available.

As the NGDRS web site states, the above data set is part of the
larger effort to provide information that was obtained from a
geological study of the Mississippi Interior Salt Basin, which is, in
turn, part of the Department of Engergy's (DOE) Advanced Geologic Basin
Analysis Program.

According to the NGDRS web site, the data set was obtained from
"http://www.agiweb.org/ngdrs/techfacts/dataproviders.html". Similar types of
data may also be found at the Geological Survey of Alabama and the
State of Alabama Oil and Gas Board web sites (please see the related URL
information below).

he NGDRS is maintained by the American Geological Institute (AGI) and
is made possible through the joint sponsorship of the petroleum
industry and the Department of Energy. The development of the
NGDRS was inspired by the need to preserve the large volumes of
geologic data that were collected by the petroleum industry and its
associated agencies during the assessment and development of well
sites.

Description: This web site for the State Oil and Gas Board of Alabama provides
access to several data sets. Among those, three searchable databases
are presented for well file information, production data, and
engineering data.
