Data Mining Enhancements - Updated 07/31/2009
GIS Data Mining has been significantly enhanced both in the look and feel as well as the functionality. We have been working very hard to provide you with the best possible information from our in house data store.
You will notice the printer icon on the map tools section. Yes you can now generate a pdf printout of the map. You will need to do some experimenting with the scale function in order to get the exact output you want.
Printer icons will begin showing up next to items throughout the site. These will allow you to generate context sensitive reports on the wells and data you have located. Plans for the future include the addition of
orthographic photos map layer, Field - Unit - Lease map layer, Quarter/Quarter map layer and much more. The site will not run properly with Internet Explorer 8 except in compatibility mode. It has been tested and
certified with Internet Explorer versions 5.5 through 7, Mozilla Firefox version 3.5 and Apple Safari.
LANDSAT Photogeologic-Geomorphic Study
On August 1, 2007 the Nebraska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has formally released a LANDSAT Photogeologic-Geomorphic
study compiled by David Koger of Fort Worth, TX. These data sets are now available for download from our Well Data and
Publications link. A companion online GIS presentation is also available. See also Commission
Memorandum No. 119 for complete details on this study.
Nebraska Well Data Delivery System (Data Mining)
The Nebraska Well Data Delivery System was designed to provide up-to-date oil and gas information from the Commission's oil and gas database. From this system you can access well data, lease/unit data, production data, UIC monitoring data and reference information. Images of scanned
documents, logs and scout tickets for all available wells are available. Landowner information is not available through our database. You must still
contact the local county court houses for that information. Currently there are two unique sites available for mining of this data.
Please be aware of the requirements for utilizing these Data Mining sites. You must be using IE 5.5 or greater. All popup blockers must be disabled. Cookies must be enabled. You can avoid having to change your system settings for popups and cookies each time you access data mining by adding
our site to your list of Trusted Sites. In addition, each 3rd-party popup blocker installed must be configured to allow popups from the nogcc.ne.gov. Instructions for adding a trusted site are available by clicking on the Data
Mining Requirements link below. These sites are best viewed at a resolution of 1024x768
or higher.
Text Data Mining
The Text Data Mining System provides full data exporting and reporting of all information contained in our databases at the cost of sacrificing
the ease of use and searching capabilities of the GIS counterpart. The logon User ID for this system is "public" without a password.
Drilling Permits
Scanned drilling permits are available from either Data Mining site. For
Text Data Mining: Under the
Wells Menu select Well Data. Filter on 'Well Status' 'equal to' 'pw'. Images may be obtained from the Well Images tab. For GIS Data Mining: Enter
'pw' in the text search area and click on find. An expandable list of all permits will show in the search pane. Click on Wells to expand the list
and then click on the well you are interested in. Scanned permits may be obtained by clicking on the View Image in the resulting Details Pane Images tab.
Our Mission
The Nebraska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission was founded in 1959. Its mission is to foster, encourage and promote the development, production and
utilization of natural resources of oil and gas in the state. The mission will be accomplished in such a manner as will prevent waste, protect correlative
rights of all owners, and encourage and authorize secondary recovery, pressure maintenance, cycling, or recycling, in order that the greatest ultimate
recovery of oil and gas may be obtained within the state while protecting the environment. To this end the landowners, producers, and the general public
will realize and enjoy the greatest possible good from these vital, irreplaceable natural resources.
