It contains the data found in the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Oil and Gas Well Database (NVOILWEL). Nevada oil and gas well records, logs, and other information located at the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Information office. Purpose: File index and small scale map presentation, 1:1,000,000 scale, of Oil and Gas Wells drilled in Nevada. Supplemental_Information: Data sources include the public oil and gas records depository at Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, consisting of drilling permits, drilling reports, completion reports, lithologic and drillers logs, electric logs, professional papers, other open-file reports, and various company transmittals. Data are far from complete for many well records. UTM location information plotted from approximate township and range locations at 1:100,000 scale. UTM coordinates are in zone 11, NAD 27 projection. Records with a UTM location of "0" and "0" are permits of wells that had not been drilled at the time of publication. This information should be considered preliminary. It has not been edited or checked for completeness or accuracy.
