The Division offers production data in a number of methods including zipped files, searchable oil and gas online database, and older summary production files. Over twenty seven years of Annual Well Status and Production Data is available for free download and manipulation.
For the 2010 calendar year, total reported gas production was 35.802 billion cubic feet (bcf), an 20% decrease from 2009's posted production of 44.849 (bcf). As in recent years, the 2010 production was primarily driven by wells in the Trenton-Black River formation. However, steady production from the Medina, Herkimer, and Queenston formations, continues the return to more traditional gas sources in New York State.
Oil production in New York increased 16% from the previous year for a total of 387,349 barrels reported by purchasers. 772 Well owners also reported a total of 13,534 oil and gas wells. In response to the Department's e-commerce initiatives, owners electronically reported 56 percent of wells and 89 percent of gas production.
