Beginning with the 2017 sands, the column P_J has been removed. The columns P_RECOIL, P_RECGAS, P_RECBOE, J_RECOIL, J_RECGAS, and J_RECBOE have been combined and renamed to Original Oil, Original Gas, and Original BOE, replacing the former DISCOIL, DISCGAS, DISCBOE columns. The columns P_CUMOIL, P_CUMGAS, and P_CUMBOE have been renamed Cum Oil, Cum Gas, and Cum BOE. The columns P_REMOIL, P_REMGAS, and P_REMBOE have been renamed Oil Reserves, Gas Reserves, and BOE Reserves. These changes were made in order to more closely align with the Estimated Oil and Gas Report. Estimated Oil and Gas Report 2018: https://www.boem.gov/BOEM-2021-052/

As of 2017, two additional columns, LAT and LONG have been included to provide the bottomhole location of the discovery well for each sand. In order to align with BOEM’s current biostratigraphic chart, the Plio-Pleistocene boundary was adjusted, as well as some units within the Paleogene. This change may be reflected in the chronozone designation of some sands. Within a downloadable geodatabase file, an ArcGIS feature dataset for well location has been provided. A brief workflow for accessing this GIS feature dataset has been included in the zipped file.
