Where is your source to find the geographical location of the oil fields you reference?
ReplyDeleteNDIC posts a daily activity report (every day) at this site:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/dailyindex.asp
I link the NDIC webside at the sidebar at the right.
The daily activity report is generally posted about 5:10 p.m. CST.
It is not posted on weekends or holidays. It is an abbreviated report on opening day for deer hunting.
Occasionally (very rarely) a report is a day late.
I started posting a short synopsis a long time ago to a) give me a feeling for the number of permits daily; over time, a nice trend; b) a feeling for the fields that are attracting interest; again a nice trend; and, c) a feeling for the operators that are particularly active.
Other than that, not much use, but I find it very, very interesting, and one of the high points of my blogging day.
Don't mean to be a pain, but I am still not finding what I am looking for. Say you reference for example "heart butte field". Where can I find where this field physically lies?
ReplyDeleteI misunderstood.
ReplyDeleteGo to the NDIC home page:
https://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/
On the home page, there is a sidebar at the left. About halfway down is "GIS Map Server." Click on that. Or:
https://www.dmr.nd.gov/OaGIMS/viewer.htm
A new window will open up with a map of North Dakota covered with green rigs.
At that site, there is a sidebar on the left. Click on "Find Field/Unit" near the bottom of that sidebar.
Then type in the name of the field you are looking for (just use one word like "heart" and then click on the field when it shows up.
You can zoom in, zoom out. It takes awhile to feel comfortable with the GIS map server, but is is quite remarkable. And it is a million times better than what the other states have.
Thank you
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. It's not a bother, if you have other questions.
ReplyDeleteThis gave me an opportunity to add this to the sidebar at the right, how to use the NDIC GIS map server.
