Public GIS Map Viewer for Oil, Gas, and Pipeline Data
Welcome to the RRC’s GIS MAP VIEWER.
This geographic information system combines detailed information and location coordinates for oil wells,
gas wells, and pipelines from the Commission's files with base map data captured from U.S. Geological
Survey 7.5 minute quadrangle maps. These interactive maps were developed using Environmental
Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) ArcIMS software, and interface with the Commission's
Production Data Ouery and drilling Permit Query applications.
NEW! High Cost Gas Production and Wells associated with Enhanced Oil Recovery Projects are now
available! With a click of the mouse you will now be able to highlight wells associated with High Cost
Gas Production and Wells associated with Enhanced Oil Recovery Projects. Make your selection from
within the “display” option of our GIS Mapping Program. Designations will be as follows:
•Well Logs designations - yellow
•Enhanced Oil Recovery - H13 designations - green
•High Cost Tight Sands designations - pink
•High Cost Tight Sands greater than 15,000 ft designations - blue
•Active Commercial Disposals - orange
Please note: Well Log highlighting has been integrated into the new menu and is no longer a default
setting.
LPGAS Installation Sites are now available! To view these sites you will need zoom to street level.
The GIS application is updated nightly, Monday through Friday beginning at 8:00 pm.
