Welcome to WellWiki.org.
Currently, WellWiki.org contains data on over 727,000 oil and gas wells in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and New York. Coming next are Alberta, British Columbia and Texas. Eventually, we plan to provide data on all oil and gas wells ever drilled in North America – an estimated 4 million wells since the Drake well in 1859.

72,095
Wellpads:

Wells
Each well is identified by its well number and given a “well page.” A well page provides information on location, permits, associated wellpad, spudding and drilling information, violation and inspection data, production data, and waste information.
Communities and Companies
A well page links to the details of the municipal community hosting a well, the operating company that owns a well, or the waste operator associated with the waste from that well. You will be able to find major operators of a region.
Search
Search, one of the site's most powerful features, lets you search for anything you know about a well and produce relevant results. Find information about a well by searching it's region, company name, well number, and other details.
To unleash the site’s full potential, we need interested stakeholders like you to complement these numbers with narrative-driven content, just like with Wikipedia. For instance, in the case of the
Chevron Lanco explosion, one of our editors put together a summary of the incident. In another case, an editor created a page about
forced pooling, a different type of issue. If you are interested in becoming a WellWiki.org editor,
