1. Advancing Public Access to Oil and Gas Data using Web GIS Harold H. Rogers, III Research Scientist Associate II harold.rogers@beg.utexas.edu Aaron R. Averett Research Scientist Associate III aaron.averett@beg.utexas.edu October 27, 2016 Texas GIS Forum
2. Outline What is the STARR Program at the Bureau of Economic Geology Why it’s important to care about oil and natural gas severance tax East Texas Field What’s in this Application Test Drive the application with Aaron
3. Mission: Increase income to the State through working with operators to… •  Characterize new hydrocarbon plays •  Recommend drilling new wells •  Recommend enhanced recovery programs
4. Who is a Stakeholder? STARR partners (Oil and Gas Companies) State Government Counties And YOU, the general public
5. What is the Severance Tax? What is the Severance Tax? The severance tax is charged by the state of Texas to anyone who extracts, produces, or has a royalty on the extraction of any nonrenewable resource
6. State of Texas Direct Income from oil and gas production Severance Tax for Texas (State Comptroller, RRC of Texas) Gas severance tax = 7.5% of market value of gas produced and saved Oil severance tax = 4.6% of market value of oil produced
7. How Texas Use Severance Funds •  Roads •  Social Programs •  Education •  Police
8. STARR return on State’s investment was ~16:1 for 2012-2014 biennium
9. Texas Oil Production by Year 0 200,000 400,000 600,000 800,000 1,000,000 1,200,000 1,400,000 1935 1945 1955 1965 1975 1985 1995 2005 2015 OIL PRODUCTION ( MBBL ) Crude Oil Production (Mbbl) Crude Oil Production (Mbbl)
10. Significant Oil and Gas Areas
11. Recent Oil & Gas Production in Texas 125,157 active gas wells 293,595 active oil wells Overlapping Active gas and oil well areas 200 miles
12. Vital Statistics: East Texas Field • Discovered in 1930 • ~31,000 wells over 134,000 acres (~210 square miles) •  7.03 Billion bbl oil in place, most productive oil field in the U.S. lower 48 states •  5.42 Billion bbl produced so far •  23% oil remaining
14. East Texas Field: Reservoir Model Oil-stained core 2 inches
15. What is in the Web Application? •  Track oil and Gas production by county by year •  See STARR’s activity by year •  See Oil and Gas revenue over time by county •  See the price of oil through time and how it effects revenue by county
16. Why is this application important to you? The Bureau of Economic Geology is developing a web-based, interactive mapping application that will provide information to STARR stakeholders on the special distribution of oil and gas production in Texas.
17. The Web Application – AJAX Pattern Asynchronous Client-server Communication (“AJAX”) A traditional, stateless web application and it's ajaxified counterpart on the right site Daniel S. Hasicht, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AAjax-vergleich.svg
18. Web Application – MVC Pattern •  Model-View-Controller •  Separates data, application logic and presentation Model View Controller
19. Application Architecture – Server Side SQL Server 2012 ArcGIS Server 10.3.1 (REST API, Map Server) Internet Information Services 8 Client The Internet
20. Application Architecture – Client Side Browser - Javascript Host Leaflet D3 Angular Angular-Material ArcGIS REST API The Internet ArcGISService (Custom Module)
21. Client Design – Map View
22. Client Design – Data
23. Client Live Demo http://coastal.beg.utexas.edu/starrproduction/
