Mapping Your Well At Google Maps

For newbies.

Someone asked about mapping Bakken wells.

Lots of options.

One method (previously posted):

If you have the GPS coordinates, simply "cut and paste" the coordinates into Google Maps.

For example, #22405, conf, Hess' BW-Hagen-149-100-1522H-1, is in Ellsworth oil field.

I highlight the GPS coordinates: Latitude: 47.731730     Longitude: -103.463448

Cut and paste all of that into Google maps, and then delete the words (latitude and longitude) and place a comma and a space between the first number and the second number (be sure to keep the "minus" sign."

It will look like this: 47.731730, -103.463448

Click on the little magnifying glass and the map will take you to the site. You can zoom in, zoom out, satellite view, etc.

If you don't have the GPS coordinates, let me know; for onesies and twosies, I can provide those numbers. I get the GPS coordinates from "Basic Services" at the NDIC web site, but I assume they are readily available elsewhere.
