Florida interactive oil & gas map
Illinois interactive oil and gas map - with fields, apis, cores, logs, contours, etc marked. Nicely done but production data is not available.
Illinois well database - An Oracle Java 7 application. Difficult (or impossible) to get running. It now appears to have vanished and cannot be found. There is also a Well Permit database but you have to know what month you want.
Indiana Dept of Natural Resources - Oil & Gas data
Kansas Digital Petroleum Atlas - field summaries, geology, cores, maps, etc. Ambitious plan but looks like they stopped in 1999, except the field map below appears current.

Louisiana DNR Glossary of terms
Michigan Oil & Gas database - Dept of Environmental Quality.
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement Also field reserves data or might be better production and lease data here
Mississippi on line production and well information -2010 old system, summary capable - some data also on DEQ Geology Dept (scout images) and easier to work with - see geological survey lists
Mississippi production and well information - new system after April 2010.
Mississippi new mapping system - Looks like a similar system to Nebraska's . Better with MS Explorer.
Mississippi field maps, by county - color coded by formation - 2001
Mississippi scout ticket and log images - recently much improved
Montana Production data - new online system is better but not great. Has a map server.
Nebraska well and production data
Nebraska data mining GIS system - impressive mapping application with clickable well information - hover over a well and you'll get a scout ticket, etc.
New Mexico Oil Conservation Division
New Mexico Production Data (Go-Tech)
North Dakota well data - not much there unless you subscribe to premium ($175/yr) or basic ($50/yr) services
North Dakota interactive map - new. Appears most useful options are only with Basic or Premium subscription
Ohio Dept of Natural Resources - Oil & Gas Division - Very informative Annual reports, Well database, Permits, Unconventional information
Ohio Oil & Gas Database - also a mapping application (link below) with access to scout tickets. Ohio Geological Survey has good current info on Utica, Marcellus and Point Pleasant.
Ohio map of Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) Study of the Utica / Pleasant Point Shale. July 2021
Oklahoma Geological Survey - data sources
Oklahoma Corporation Commission main page - you can access databases but it requires Java's Jinitiator and Internet Explorer (and a fix for Windows 7). The OCC makes it very difficult to get running.
Oklahoma Corporation Commission - OLD SYSTEM BEFORE 6/2010 - production data, sometimes flawed -Click on Oil & Gas Database and wait for Java app to load.
Oklahoma Corporation Commission - NEW SYSTEM AFTER 6/2010 - shows some promise as improved. It is not obvious, but use the magnifying glass to display and expand results.
Oklahoma Oil & Gas Data Files - injection, completions, production, operators, drilling intent, old waterfloods, etc.
Oklahoma Tax Commission Gross Production System - does not seem to be able to look up production, just file forms. Free, but you will have to register.
Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection - Oil and Gas management - Production data, GIS mapping
app, can search by API number. Apparently no completion details. There is an "IRIS" subscription
avail. fm Geol Survey.
Pennsylvania Oil & Gas Mapping - well mapping and data

Texas Field Rules (rules can also be found on the proration schedules or on the RRC Well Data site.
Texas completion query system - for wells after November 2009. (check document image system for old stuff)
Texas RRC Well mapping system Turn on Visibility (upper left) of survey lines, pipelines, well logs, etc. Search API like "485-01752" without "42"
