DENR's Oil and Gas Initiative

  • On-line searchable databases contain geologic files from nearly 100,000 holes
  • DENR has added boundaries of
  • il and gas fields to the interactive oil and gas map
  • DENR has added enhanced recovery units to the oil and gas interactive map
  • Built in-house by DENR Geologists; no consultants, no contractors, no BIT

Brian Stambaugh with NNffi. Petrophysics, Inc. , emailed: "J wanted to say to whoever all is responsible for it - "nice job " on the GIS Explorer Online. It is easy to use and easy to access all the records. I think it will help encourage oil and gas exploration in the state. " Don Speaks, \.vho is a consulting engineer for oil companies, \Vas interviewed by KSFY, and said, 'This deal in South Dakota really interests me. South Dalwta is being very aggressive in trying to entice an oil company to drill into this formation. I've never seen a state get behind a program and try to do as much as they are doing in order to get something going on a real good oil play in a particular area. What the state is doing is offering oil companies a ton of geologic research, free of charge, through this on line mapping database. I have never worked with a state that was so willing to help develop an oil industry like South Dakota. "

DEN R's Top Priority Areas

  • 6. Using Technology -

DENR's 37 FoxPro Databases Conversion

DENR's Vision for Using Technology - DENR uses technology to boost productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, connmmication, and se1 v ices to our customers.

  • Drinking \Vater example - a recent EPA performance audit of
  • ur

Drinking Water Program showed DENR uses 64% fewer staff than the staffmg model (i.e. 10.4 vs. 29 FTE). EPA wrote: "A large part ofthis success is based on DENR is one of

  • nly ten states that has built its own

monitoring and compliance database using FoxPro. The EPA Revie\v Team was impressed \'Vith the ease of use as well as many beneficial au- tomation features that DENR has built ·within the FoxPro application."

  • No FoxPro support after 2015; no easy coversion to SQL Server

and .NET, so conversions will take multi- ·ears
