Geological Survey of Alabama - ESIP-II (primarily a research center)

Application excerpt:

Key to the mission of both agencies is developing, maintaining, and providing access to information related to the above activities.

Currently, the agencies maintain online databases of oil and gas well records and forms, drilling and workover reports, production history, engineering records, and core catalog information. We have been working with the AASG Geothermal project to add to the National Geothermal database, including cataloging available bottomhole temperatures for oil and gas wells throughout the state. Additionally, we maintain a GIS database of oil and gas well locations (surface and bottomhole when available), well unit and field boundaries, and infrastructure, and provide an ArcGIS MapService that contains geologic data.
