Recent Additions and Ongoing Features of the Indiana Geological Survey's Online Petroleum Database Management System

Abstract of Poster presented at the 35th Annual Meeting of the Eastern Section Meeting of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, held at Buffalo, New York, October 8-11, 2006.The Indiana Geological Survey's (IGS) Petroleum Database Management System (PDMS) was made available online in 2003 (http://www.igs.indiana.edu/pdms). At that time the PDMS contained one module which provided (and continues to provide) extensive data on more than 71,000 petroleum test wells drilled in Indiana. This module is at present termed the "Well Record Tables" of the PDMS. Well records can be searched and sorted by various criteria. Complete data for individual wells is printable in a convenient well history report. For those who wish to incorporate PDMS data into their own databases or mapping programs, all the PDMS well data tables can be downloaded, in whole or in part, as ASCII spreadsheet files. In 2005, a second module, the Map Viewer, went online. It offers an interactive map interface that presents considerable well data in map view, as well as other supporting spatial data such as topographic maps, aerial photographs, and cultural and natural features. The map view may be configured to show productive formations (pay zones), wells with samples or cores, and wells which have been designated as "Type Wells" (so designated for their particular geologic significance). The Fields and Production module, added in 2006, summarizes information on more than 800 oil, gas, and gas storage fields in the state. A table and accompanying graph portray current and cumulative primary and secondary oil production for each oil field. Links to available field studies are also presented. Additional resources in the PDMS include IGS Petroleum Topic Reports (short single-topic reports related to petroleum geology in Indiana) and an extensive interactive Help.2006 Eastern Section Meeting, American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG

Improvements to the Indiana Geological Survey’s Petroleum Database Management System

This poster was presented at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Eastern Section, in Arlington, Virginia, in September 2011.The Indiana Geological Survey’s Petroleum Database Management System (PDMS) is a web application that provides online access to petroleum-related geological information. Since its debut in 2004, the application has been widely used by the petroleum industry, academia, government agencies, and the general public. On June 6, 2011, a significantly enhanced version of the PDMS went online. New features include a robust search menu that permits elaborate queries of more than 74,000 petroleum wells, rapid and convenient online viewing and downloading of PDF-file well reports and both PDF- and TIFF-file geophysical and other well logs, and streamlined menus for easily accessing extensive well data. An interactive, context-driven web help explains every concept or term used. The PDMS is organized in three main sections. The Well Tables Section includes such information as well location descriptions, completion zones, logs, operators, lease names, tests, reports, hydrocarbon shows, samples, cores, geologic formations and tops, and directional survey data. The Map Viewer Section contains many user-selectable layer options for showing well locations, petroleum fields, producing formations, aerial photographs, and topographic maps. Wells shown in the Map Viewer are hyperlinked to the Well Tables for easy access to the well data. The Fields and Production Section summarizes oil, natural gas, and gas storage field data, including historical oil production volumes in both tables and charts

A remote sensing evaluation of potential for sinkhole occurrence

The relationship between lowering of the water table and sinkhole development in Pierson and in Hillsborough County, Florida was investigated. The locations of recently developed (1973) collapses were examined with respect to lineaments or fracture traces that are expressed in the terrain and visible in aerial photography and satellite imagery. It was anticipated that these relationships would provide the basis for establishment of criteria for mapping those land areas that have the greatest potential for sinkhole development. A very good correlation was found between mapped lineament intersections and known location of sinkhole occurrences for both study areas. This indicates that lineament and fracture trace mapping may be very useful in locating zones with the greatest potential for sinkhole development. It is further shown that this information is quite beneficial in land use planning applications
