| − | Each well is identified by its well number and name. For instance, the [[37-125-22074|Renz No. 1]] well credited with “discovering” the Marcellus is officially assigned well number [[37-125-22074]]. Each well page lists when the well was permitted, the municipality (e.g., township, borough or city) and county where a well is located, and who operates the well, and which well pad it is associated with. If the well was drilled (or “spudded” in industry parlance), we provide that date too. Where available we indicate whether a well is “unconventional” or “horizontal.” Other data typically include inspections, violation and fines, production history and waste quantities and disposal methods. Soon, we will be adding data on hydraulic fracturing treatments.

| − | Each well page incorporates a variety of links, from which users may explore different aspects of the well. For instance, from the [[37-115-20040|37-115-20040]] well, users can see its location and [[148406|well pad]], including associated wells. Following the Municipality link, the [[Dimock Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania|Dimock Township]] page gives a listing of all the wells drilled in this roughly 30 square-mile community. A glance at this page shows that [[CABOT OIL & GAS CORP|Cabot Oil & Gas Corp]] is a major operator in Dimock. One could sort the list of wells by different parameters. For instance, if the user is looking for the wells in the township that have accrued the most violations, they could sort by that parameter and see that one of the wells, well number [[37-115-20040|37-115-20040]], has racked up 14 separate violations. If the user wanted to see the violation details, they could simply click through to that well. If you wanted, you could also visit the [[CABOT OIL & GAS CORP|Cabot Oil & Gas Corp]] page and find out where else this company has oil and gas wells. It turns out that most of Cabot’s Pennsylvania wells are concentrated in [[Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania|Susquehanna County]], which is in northeastern Pennsylvania, along the New York State border.
