DCNR’s Pennsylvania Geological Survey manages the Exploration and Development Well Information Network (EDWIN) to provide users access to the state’s 180,000-plus oil and gas wells of record.
EDWIN includes both scanned oil and gas well documents from DEP and associated digital and interpreted data through a single, web-based application.
The information in the database includes location, survey reports, completion reports, fracking fluid composition, completion reports, plugging certificates and well cards.
The network was recently upgraded to include a new subscription module making it simpler to keep track of recurring annual subscriptions; and adding an alternate online payment method for customers to gain quicker access to the network instead of mailing in a physical check.
This GO-TIME project has a net savings of $7,000 per year, plus an additional $26,000 in staff productivity savings.
GO-TIME is an effort to modernize government operations to reduce costs and deliver better and faster services.
EDWIN is accessible free of charge by visiting either of the Bureau of Geological Survey’s offices (Pittsburgh or Middletown) during normal business hours.
EDWIN is named for Edwin Drake who was the first American to successfully drill for Oil in 1857 in Titusville, Pennsylvania.
EDWIN also is available as a subscription service for those desiring the convenience of 24/7 remote access to Pennsylvania’s oil and gas well information. Additional information is available at DCNR’s Oil and Gas webpage.
