Summary

The polygons representing fields were created by constructing a grid of ¼ sq. mi. cells and proximal polygons centered on all wells in southern Louisiana and then combining and merging the adjacent polygons having the same value for field name. The wells data used to create these fields in southern Louisiana were obtained from a public database provided by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (LDNR), Office of Conservation. This dataset contains basic data and interpretations developed and compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey's Framework Studies and Assessment of the Gulf Coast Project. Other major sources of data include publicly available information from state agencies as well as publications of the U.S. Geological Survey [...]

Purpose

The polygons created from the Louisiana State wells database give a generalized representation of oil and gas fields in southern Louisiana. The dataset was developed primarily to facilitate the synthesis and analysis of various data types required in the assessment of energy resources and to aid in the study and visualization of framework elements and processes. In addition the datasets provide access to the information in an easily usable format for those outside of the USGS.
