Summary
The United States Gulf Coast Basin Curated Wells and Logs Database (CWLDB) is an online repository with stratigraphic information for petroleum wells in the United States portion of the onshore Gulf of Mexico Basin that provides several of the following attributes: a) deep penetrations (generally, total depth of 10,000 feet or more), b) high quality and diverse geophysical well log suites, c) lithostratigraphic logs, d) biostratigraphic units (biozones) and reports, and/or e) core or cuttings samples. First release: March 2023 Revised: November 2023 (ver. 2.0) Revised: July 2024 (ver. 3.0)

This database is meant to expand the scope of USGS public-facing petroleum and subsurface geologic and geophysical data offerings. This database is a work in progress and is expected to be updated with additional wells as new interpretations are generated. Therefore the spatial, temporal, and depth ranges are set to account for well locations throughout the Gulf of Mexico Basin. Additional entity and attribute columns are included to allow for future data types and interpretations.
