MMS, Top Oil Producing Wells, Gulf of Mexico, 8/22/2008

This data set displays the monthly production figures for the top Oil producing wells in the Gulf of Mexico. The well production information submitted by oil and gas companies to the MRM in Denver, Colorado. This data has not been verified by MMS (1-800-525-7922x3675). This production data was joined to the locational well data on the boreholes in the Gulf. They were joined according to the API well number. The borehole data set was used to locate the wells according to the associated surface Latitude and Longitude Coordinates.

Wells producing 300 or more units of oil for the month are displayed in this data set.

Contract Number 0 - 550008420 540023190.00 335943186.90 263073684.22

Contract Number

"The number assigned to a lease or unit by the regulatory agency having jurisdiction over mineral activity in the territory where the wells are located. The OGOR requires wells be reported either on a Lease or Unit. Therefore, this file does not provide both. The MRM lease or unit number is 11 digits. To convert the MRM lease number to the OMM format, do the following:

If characters 1-3 of the MRM Contract Number are equal '054'

replace the '054' with letter G' then add to characters 5-9 of contract number; e.g., 0540011010 = G01101

If characters 1-3 of the MRM Contract Number are equal to '055';

replace '055' with a space ' ' then add to characters 5-9 of contract number; e.g., 0550008420 = (space)00842

If characters 1-3 of the MRM Contract Number are not equal to above values, the number could be a unit or could be an invalid number."
