Subject: Keep up the god work

The digital petroleum atlas is one of the few worthwhile petroleum sites on the internet. You are demonstrating what can be done with the Web. We need more states to start doing what you are doing. Until we see more products like this the small independent will not be one the internet.

I examined the new digital petroleum atlas (Stanton Co., KS) and I am very impressed. Congratulations on a great product. I am currently working for NARCO on a consulting job in KS and have found the info in the digital atlas to be of great help.

Best Regards,

Subject: Kansas Petroleum Data

I think the Kansas Digital Petroleum Atlas and O&G database is great and wish the project much success. I wanted to know when monthly well and field data would be available. Also will injection data also reside in the database eventually? Have you thought about writing Java applets that would plot data various ways and do decline analysis.

Will log and well completion data also be available someday?

Hey KGS:

I really like the direction you're taking with the Digital Petroleum Atlas. This is the kind of information I've been hoping for from KGS and PTTC. Can't wait for you to start on other counties (like Lane and Ness for example hint, hint). Keep up the great work.

One of the few projects that DOE has supported that has been really useful in my work.

You do not realize how much of the Digital Petroleum Atlas that I have downloaded and used in a current prospectus. Also I noted DPA maps and x-sections were in evidence at the latest NAPE Conference (North America Petroleum Expo).

A Success Story

The Kansas Geological Survey's Digital Petroleum Atlas (DPA) played an important role in helping Denver geologist, Gary Wilkins discover new production from the Morrow formation at the Dietterich Field (Discovery well is Stelbar 1-25 Roberts, 25-28S-41W). Mr. Wilkins used the geological, geophysical, and production data in the DPA to demonstrate the potential for reservoir quality sandstone in the Morrow formation at the Dietterich Field area.

Quote from Gary Wilkins. "The regional geological maps available on the DPA Web site are a tremendous help in defining new play areas in the Morrow formation. I also appreciate the comprehensive Arroyo Field Study. The geological information does an excellent job of clearly demonstrating the trapping mechanism and reservoir distribution. The geophysical information allowed me to demonstrate that the reservoir was clearly imaged by both 2-D and 3-D seismic. The easily available production data on the field and wells is a time saver."
