Databases
A group of databases that together provide information on Oklahoma's natural resources is the Natural Resources Information System (NRIS)(bold black). The largest components of the NRIS system are the oil and gas databases, which contain well-history information, production data from 1979 to present, plugging report data, and lease and field data. These searchable databases can be found at http://welldata.oil-law.com.
The following databases are available from the Oklahoma Geological Survey in spreadsheet format. Contact Jane Weber at 405/325-3031 or 800/330-3996 for more information.
Slimhole Cores (Excel format) 905 records from shallow, mostly 2"-diameter core holes drilled for studies in coal, minerals, tar sands, shale hydrology, lithology for missile and Superconducting Super Collider sites, Meers Fault, subsurface geology, and mapping.
Brine(Produced Water) 8151 analysis reports. This database is also available at http://energy.cr.usgs.gov/prov/prodwat/
Coal - Analytical, stratigraphic, and production data.
Coalbed Methane Completions (Excel format) New completions added regularly.
Field Discovery Wells (Excel format) 5226 records of Oklahoma oil and gas field discovery dates and discovery wells as determined by the Oklahoma Nomenclature Committee.
Gas Shales (Excel format) New records added regularly.
Petroleum Cores (Excel format) 9243 records from over 4800 wells.
Petroleum Core Analyses (Excel format) A listing (header only) of 8370 core analyses from 7662 wells. Measurements of permeability, porosity, oil and water saturation are stored on microfiche available for inspection at OPIC.
Petroleum Samples/Cuttings More than 45,000 records, with wells added on an ongoing basis.
OPIC Facilites
The Oklahoma Petroleum Information Center (OPIC) is located at 2020 Industrial Boulevard in Norman. It houses the OGS Publication Sales Office, the OGS Well Data Library, and the OGS Core and Sample Library. Other facilities at OPIC include a Conference Center for workshops and meetings, and equipment for analytical work on cores and samples. A number of offices are available for temporary usage when examining data from the facility.
The OGS Publication Sales Office provides over-the-counter and mail-order purchases. It also is the contact point for OPIC-related activities.
All facilities at OPIC are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday except on scheduled holidays of the University of Oklahoma. For more information, call 405/325-1299.
OGS Well Data Library
The OGS Well Data Library (previously known as the Log Library) is the State's official repository for full-scale (5 inches to 100 feet) paper logs from more than 367,000 wells. The library also has the collection on microfiche. In addition, the library maintains a hardcopy file of 1002A completion reports (accessible digitally at http://welldata.oil-law.com or at http://www.occ.state.ok.us/), one set of scout tickets and two sets of completion cards for Oklahoma wells. Hardcopy aerial photos of the State, dating from 1940-1960 and filed by county, township and range, are also available for viewing.
There is no cost to use the collection. Copies are 15 cents for photocopies and microfiche. For more information, contact:

In addition to the above material, holdings of the OGS Core and Sample Library are continually increasing. The original OGS collection of cores from over 4600 wells and cuttings from almost 38,000 wells has been expanded with more than 7400 records of cores and rock samples donated by BP America. A separate database lists about 8500 cores for which standard core analysis data is available. Click here to view or download the core or core analysis header data. Contact the Publication Sales Office for a list of cuttings currently computerized, In addition to the above material, the Library is cataloging 25,000 boxes of samples donated by the Ardmore Sample Cut and Library. Other rock material being incorporated into the system includes donations from Chevron Texaco and the Midland library. OPIC maintains samples not only from Oklahoma but also has collections representing 35 other states and the Gulf of Mexico.
Cores and samples can be borrowed for $10 per box for 30 days, or they can be examined in the library for $5 per box (cost subject to change). There is examination space available to library patrons. Library personnel will assist customers in finding the material they need. Specialized searches can be conducted by the staff for a small charge.
Non-petroleum-related core material, such as for coal, minerals, and special stratigraphic studies, is maintained by OGS in a card file.
