Summary

The depth to top of perforated intervals and depth to base of freshwater for oil and gas injection wells in California were compiled from an Access database provided by the California Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) in February 2015 as a retrieval from the California Well Information Management System (CalWIMS) database for Underground Injection Control (UIC) wells. This digital dataset contains 19,322 records for injection wells, of which 17,278 wells have a recorded depth to top of perforated intervals and 5,248 wells have a recorded depth to base of freshwater. The original dataset included the depths, American Petroleum Institute (API) numbers, oil and gas field, and well location. Wells were attributed with [...]

Purpose

The depths to top of perforated intervals for injection wells were used to characterize the shallowest depth of petroleum resource development in each oil and gas field. The depths to base of freshwater reported in the database were used to characterize the depth of groundwater resources in each field. Vertical proximity, which is the vertical distance between petroleum resource development and groundwater resources, was calculated by using these values in combination with other data.
