What is Atlas by TetraSoft?
Atlas serves as a specialized online GIS platform designed specifically for the onshore oil and gas sector in the United States, removing the necessity for installations or desktop licenses. By simply logging in, users can view a detailed map that outlines well locations, operational statuses, production figures, permits, pipelines, inspections, and emissions. Covering an extensive network of 2.6 million wells across eight states—Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Colorado—the platform enables users to conduct searches based on various criteria, including operator name, county, well designation, or API number. Each search result provides complete records rather than just links to state portals, thus enhancing accessibility. A notable obstacle within the industry is the fragmented nature of data, as each state maintains its own systems with distinct schedules and identifiers, making it difficult to perform cross-state searches that often require manual data reconciliation. Atlas effectively mitigates this challenge by aggregating data from official sources and updating it on a monthly basis. Beyond the essential data, Atlas also offers extensive details like Colorado's emissions data, equipment specifications, and enforcement history, as well as records related to injection and seismic activity in Oklahoma, and inspection and waste documentation from Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection. Created by TetraSoft, a spin-off from Colorado State University, this cutting-edge platform not only simplifies data access for professionals in the oil and gas industry but also significantly improves operational efficiency and decision-making processes. As a result, Atlas stands out as a crucial tool for industry stakeholders, facilitating informed choices and strategic planning.
