Kansas Geological Survey, Open-file Report 2001-14
2000 Digital Petroleum Atlas Annual Report

Figure 9. A well query to fields in the Digital Petroleum Atlas accesses numerous relational databases. The DPA personnel maintain the main well list for individual fields in the atlas, but other Kansas Geological Survey staff maintains and updates the other tables. The result is that updated data is automatically available to the user and overhead of maintaining the DPA is significantly reduced.
