Comments: The New York State Geological Survey is currently
assembling an oil and gas database that will provide and efficiently
distribute geological information on New York's oil and natural-gas
resources. A relational database allows the Survey to enter oil
and gas data into tables linked by the last five digits of the well's
unique A.P.I. number. Through the computer system and its software,
the Survey can rasterize and vectorize geophysical logs and graphically
display those digital data or put them on spreadsheets for making
geophysical calculations.
The oil and gas database consists of several linked tables including
inventories of paper files and geophysical logs, tops of formations,
oil, gas, and water shows, list of core and well cuttings held in
the Survey's repositories, rasterized and vectorized geophysical
logs, a working list of known subsurface structure contour maps,
a township database for each town having known oil or gas wells,
and a bibliography on New York oil, gas, and subsurface stratigraphy.
The Survey hopes to have its collections accessible on the Internet
by the year 2000. |
