Wyoming WOGCC — Powder River + Niobrara + Greater Green River. ~68.7K wells, ~28K horizontal lateral vectors, ~61K plugged & abandoned. Spec drift caught: gis.wogcc.wyo.gov DNS dead, WOGCC pits + APD permits not published as Feature Services.

What is WY Oil & Gas Conservation Commission?

Wyoming Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC). Powder River + Niobrara + Greater Green River — heavy CBM legacy + modern shale (Anadarko, Devon, EOG, BP, True Oil). Probed 2026-05-02. **Spec drift caught at probe**: native server `gis.wogcc.wyo.gov` does NOT resolve from public DNS. Authoritative public surface is the WyomingGeoHub-published WOGCC layers hosted at `services.wygisc.org/HostGIS/rest/services/GeoHub/`. Three services confirmed: WOGCCActiveWells (~68,746 — despite name includes ALL statuses), WOGCCBottomHoles (~28,064 — horizontal lateral polylines), WOGCCPluggedAndAbandonedWells (~61,209 P&A subset). WOGCC pits and APD permits are NOT published as Feature Services — searchPits dropped, replaced with searchPluggedAndAbandoned (orphaned-well/legacy-CBM proxy). searchPermits redirected to STATUS codes on the main Wells layer (AP=Active Permit, NI=Notice of Intent). COUNTY field is INTEGER FIPS subset (1-45 odd numbers, 23 WY counties): 5=Campbell (Powder River core, 18,276 wells), 19=Johnson (7,595), 35=Sublette (Pinedale Anticline, 8,048), 37=Sweetwater (Greater Green River, 4,818), 25=Natrona (Salt Creek, 3,658), 9=Converse (6,871). STATUS distinct (probed): SI=17245 (Shut-In), FL=13893 (Flowing), PR=8477 (Producing), WP=7845, PA=5140 (Plugged & Abandoned), PS=4507, WD=4100, AI=2676, TA=1024, NI=643, SP=635, SR=626, GL=578, AP=385, plus stray case-mixed (Ai/Fl/ep/eP). WELL_CLASS distinct: G=34223 (Gas), O=28343 (Oil), I=3865 (Injector), LW=831, D=504, NA=395, S=280. maxRecordCount=1000 enforced — handler paginates. API_NUMBER format `49-005-05036` (12-char dashed). LATITUDE/LONGITUDE may be 0 on legacy records — handler falls back to geometry. BLAT/BLON are bottom-hole lat/lon for HORIZ_DIR='Y' deviated wells.

Available Tools

searchWells
WOGCC wells (~68.7K). Filter county (FIPS or name), operator, status (2-letter or descriptive), wellClass, fieldName, township/range, horizontalOnly.
searchPermits
Drilling permits — STATUS codes AP+NI on Wells layer. WOGCC has no separate APD Feature Service.
getWellByApi
Lookup single well by API_NUMBER (12-char dashed) or APINO integer.
searchHorizontalLegs
Bottom Hole Vectors (~28K) — horizontal lateral polylines (Niobrara/Turner/Dakota). NO county column.
searchPluggedAndAbandoned
Plugged & Abandoned Wells (~61.2K). Replaces dropped searchPits — pit data isn't published as a Feature Service.
getServiceInfo
Schema + record counts for any of the 3 services.
