Researchers compared the maps of 33 U.S. cities to records of oil and gas wells dating to the late 1800s. The maps assigned grades to neighborhoods from A to D. Overall, redlined, or D-graded ...

These georeferenced maps provide critical clues about early oil and gas drilling activities. The challenge, however, is sifting through this vast archive to pinpoint potential UOW locations.

Between 1947 and 1992, these maps also used consistent symbols for oil and gas wells: a hollow black circle. "For a human being, looking at this circle and recognizing it is extremely easy ...

This map depicts H2S concentrations measured on each oil and gas lease, not at the location of every well. It also does not depict whether, or where, any leaks are occurring or have occurred.

Of the roughly 118,000 western oil wells in high fire risk areas, 103,878 of them — more than 87% — are in California, with 2.6 million residents living in close proximity to them, according ...

When the well opens up again, it may end up producing more water than oil, because the accumulated H 2 O impedes the movement of oil. Shale wells typically operate on thin profit margins, so even ...

HOUSTON—The boom in oil production that over the last decade made the U.S. the world’s largest producer is waning, suggesting the era of shale growth is nearing its peak.

A Times analysis shows that increasingly complex oil and gas wells now require astonishing volumes of water to fracture the bedrock and release fossil fuels, threatening America’s fragile aquifers.

The steep drop in output from US shale wells is turning out to be worse than expected, forcing oil drillers to work even harder to keep production from slipping, research firm Enverus said in its ...
