Here is an overview map of active (“producing”) gas wells in Chautuauqua County. I would have made a map up of the whole state, however Google Maps is currently limited in the number of points it can have plotted, so I did a join against the county lines of Chautuauqua County, by far the largest oil and gas producer in NY State.

• Google Maps: Active Gas Wells in Chautauqua County
• Google Earth KML File of Chautauqua County Wells, with more detailed information from Oil and Gas database.
• ERSI Shapefile of May 2011 Oil and Gas Wells for a statewide perspective, including shut-in and abandoned wells, derived from NYS DEC Oil and Gas Database

Google Maps, zoomed into the Town of Ellery, showing producing gas wells, allows one to see how they are all over. Play around, zoom into individual well pads to see what a working one looks like up close.

Here is a Google Map Zoomed in further onto “Ulrich 2” Natural Gas Well, showing the access road, condensate tank, and well pad for a newer well.

Oil and Gas Wells on State Forests.

Last month, I did an fodder essay with List and Google Map of Gas Wells on NY State Forests.

Gas Well Overview and Printable Maps.

I have done many more printable maps of gas wells in NY State.

Here is an overview of all producing natural gas wells in the state, with each tiny dot on this state-wide map representing a producing gas well. There are over 6,600 dots plotted on this map.
