This multivariate layer represents the density of wellbore infrastructure, summarized by record count and key characteristic, within a 400 square kilometer hexagon grid. Proprietary wellbore data were utilized to create this layer with the intention of supporting validation of the public wellbore inventory in the <\/span><\/span>Wellbore Exploration and Location Logistic System (WELLS; formally CO2-Locate)<\/span> Database. The layer contains information including wellbore record density per grid cell, as well as combinations of select well characteristics; these include density of wellbore records by spud year ranges (e.g., pre-1975, post-1975), true vertical depth ranges (e.g., greater than 2,500 feet), status (e.g., active, plugged and abandoned), and type (e.g., oil/gas, injection). Each attribute (i.e., field) within the layer represents a unique combination of well characteristics, which are layered on top of one another to create this multivariate layer. Hexagons with no overlapping wellbore records were removed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>
