What is CO Energy & Carbon Management Commission?

Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (ECMC, formerly COGCC). DJ Basin / Wattenberg / Piceance operator-side data. ECMC was renamed from COGCC in 2024 to reflect added carbon-management jurisdiction. Authoritative AGOL service is martinwi-owned `COGCC_VIEW` (same hosting org as the SLB layers — services5.arcgis.com/rqsYvPKZmvSrSWbw). Probed 2026-05-02. Layers: Well Spots (~120,701 — primary inventory), Pits (~13,683), Tank Batteries (~1,764), Directional Bottom Hole (~38,100), Directional Lines (~38,100). **Spec drift caught at probe**: searchSpills + searchSetbacks were DROPPED — ECMC does NOT publish a spills Feature Service (the data.colorado.gov dataset is `viewType=href`, just a link to the COGCC website) and the 2000ft setback is a regulatory rule, not a layer. Replacements: searchPits (env-relevant proxy) and searchDirectionalBottomHoles (Wattenberg/Niobrara horizontals). Wells layer has NO `County` text column — only `API_County` as a 3-digit FIPS subset (123=Weld, 045=Garfield, 103=Rio Blanco, 125=Yuma, 121=Washington, 001=Adams, 067=La Plata, 071=Las Animas, 075=Logan, 087=Morgan, 077=Mesa, 081=Moffat, 017=Cheyenne, 005=Arapahoe, 083=Montezuma). Handler maps both directions. Facil_Stat 2-letter codes (probed): PR=36844 (Producing), PA=23685 (Plugged & Abandoned), DA=20830 (Dry & Abandoned), AL=19458 (Abandoned Location), SI=9466 (Shut-In), XX=5229 (Closed), TA=2725 (Temp Abandoned), DG=1269 (Drilling), IJ=664 (Injecting), AC=324 (Active), WO=106, SU=56, DM=44, AB=1. Citing_Typ: ACTUAL=81259, NOTICE=2099, PLANNED=1625, HISTORICAL=383. Top operators: NOBLE ENERGY INC (9944), KERR MCGEE OIL & GAS ONSHORE LP (8960), TEP ROCKY MOUNTAIN LLC (6550), PDC ENERGY INC (6467), CAERUS PICEANCE LLC (5368). API_Label format `05-001-05000`. ECMC native server at `ecmc.state.co.us` does NOT publish an ArcGIS REST endpoint.
