Abstract:
This is the dBase III+ digital file that contains the data
used to develop NBMG open-file report 04-1. 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.
