Typically, active oil and gas wells would include a wellhead, so the best estimate is the same as the number of active oil and gas wells in the US, which is about 1.1 million.

I was wondering if there is any information on how many wellhead facilities there are in the United States? I am doing a project on oil and gas and was asked if we knew that number. Based on your information, I do roughly know how many wells are in the US. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Actually, never mind about the earthquakes. I got that info from USGS.gov. (If I’m looking at the right place–I just took a 100 kn radius around the headquarters of VIRCO. But who knows if that’s where their wells are. In any case there were 19 earthquakes from 2010-2013, when there were only 4 in that area up until 2002. Ever. That seems statistically improbable that it’s a natural phenomenon. Now I just want to know how it’s linked to VIRCO.)

Specifically those owned and/or operated by Viking International Resources Inc., if you have information that specific. And if you do, could I get the location of those wells? Thanks!

You can download a large variety of data directly from the North Dakota Industrial Commission. In the link below, look for the “Download Shape Files” icon in the top-right corner:

Depths might be included in the large “Wells.zip” file.

I’m doing a project focused on Mckenzie county and I am searching for data to be use in a GIS DRASTIC model of ground water vulnerability.

Shannak
What states?
Horizontal wells and Class II Injection wells?
If the latter are you looking for only active SWD or all types of Class II (i.e., Five types of Class II according to US EPA classification). Here in Ohio we have 240+ Active SWD Class II wells.

Hey @Shannak – were you able to get this data together? I’m working on a project and have been looking for a national set of geo coordinates for wells.

Thanks!

Using it, I’ve put together a proof-of-concept mobile/web app for anyone with a web-capable mobile phone in Pennsylvania. The app will use your current geolocation, and display a list of nearby fracking wells. Tapping on a well in the list will display the violations associated with that well. Tapping on a violation will display its details. The app can be launched via this web page: http://fractracker-geo.herokuapp.com (you can also run the app from any HTML5 capable browser).

An android-native version of the app can be downloaded from here (you’ll need to enable 3rd party installs): http://www.ferasinfotech.com/WhereTheFrac.apk

I also have the app running natively on iPhone/iPad devices, but have not made plans to submit it to the app store.

I am considering factoring publically available watershed data into the app, to provide a view of what wells effect which watersheds.

Thanks again for all of the work you folks do….
