New York Natural Gas & Oil Production
On-line Production Data Options
New York requires the operator of an oil or gas well to file an Annual Well Report before March 31st for well status and production values for the previous calendar year. Status and production values are confidential for the first six months after a reporting period. The Division attempts to post that data on our site shortly after July 1. The Division of Mineral Resources has been providing digital production data since 1986. We continue to offer this data in several formats. These formats include our searchable on line database with production histories from 1985 forward, zipped annual production files in dbase format also from 1985 forward and historic summary production data from 1967 through 1999. Please contact us with any questions on these options.
2008 well status and production values were posted to the searchable database and available for zipped downloads on July 1, 2009
Searchable On-line Database
The searchable oil and gas on-line database offers users the ability to tailor information searches. In 2008, the production search capabilities were expanded to include production data from 1985 forward for gas wells and higher volume oil wells and and all oil and gas production wells after 2000. Extensive help on this application is available from within this application.

The files are in db3 format with the following format:
API_WellNo, County, Company Name, Hole Number, Side track, Completion, Well Type, Field Name, Well Status, Well Name, Town, Producing Formation, Months in Production, Gas Volume (mcf), water (bbl), oil (bbl), Year. Each individual years sorted by County, and than by Company Name. Please save the file to your local hard drive before manipulation. This data has been key punched by Department staff or received in an electronic format. From 1985 to 1999 all gas wells are reported and only higher volumes oil wells (typically Bass Island production.) From 2000 forward all oil and gas wells reported by a company are included.
Summary Production Data
The Division first collected oil and gas production data in 1967. This data was collected by Company Name, County, Town, Field, Formation, Lease and Production Volumes. These data were summarized for various reports. the Division has keypunched this summary data and offers it in a zipped dbase file format. The summary production history files (Revised 9/10/2009 zip file 726 MB) contains production records from 1967 to 1999 when the summary system was abandoned.
The files are in db3 format with the following format:
Company Name, Production Year, Date Keypunched, Company Number, County Code, Town, Field Name, Producing Formation, Number of Oil Well Active, Number of Oil Wells Inactive, Number of Gas Wells Active, Number of Gas Wells Inactive, Number of Injection Wells, Number of Disposal Wells, If Wells were for Self Use, Oil Volume (bbl), Gas Volume (mcf), Water Volume (bbl), Buyer Code, Comment. This was summary data keypunched for the Division's use and has not been verified for quality control purpose.
