Daily Activity Dashboard (DAD)
What is the Daily Activity Dashboard?
The Daily Activity Dashboard is a tool that provides you with an easier pathway to access data. It's a visual, interactive tool. You can generate custom statistical charts, graphs, tables, and simple maps in near real-time. Plus, because the information found in many of the tables has been linked to associated COGIS data (e.g. scout cards), you can access more detailed information. That said, please use our COGIS database if you seek more robust data. The dashboard does not replace the existing web-based data search tools (e.g. COGIS or eForms).
Datasets
There are nine datasets on the Daily Activity Dashboard. Please read the descriptions of the datasets before you use the Daily Activity Dashboard.
The 'pending permits' page on the Daily Activity Dashboard displays a map, chart, and tables of pending Forms 2As, grouped by county. The Form 2A is the Oil and Gas Location Assessment permit application. This is the application an operator must submit if they want to do extraction in Colorado.
On this page, you can view permit applications that are within the public comment phase of the application. Clicking on the link icon for these records (in the table) will take you to ECMC's Public Comments interface, where you can directly comment on the permit application. Read more about how to submit comments.
Also on this page you can view records for permit applications for which the public comment phase is closed. These are posted in red. Clicking on the link icon for these records (in the table) brings you to the permit application in our database where you can view all imaged documents.
Read more about the Form 2A and the ways in which ECMC's team of Location Assessment Specialists rigorously review each application prior to the application being heard by the Commissioners.
The 'Well Status' page on the Daily Activity Dashboard shows you the status of all wells in our ECMC database.
Active Wells
Pre-production Wells
- Drilling (DG): A well that is being drilled (i.e. under construction) and is not yet reported as completed.
- Waiting on Completion (WO): a well that has been drilled but the operator has not submitted nor obtained 'completed' permitting status from ECMC engineers.
Production Wells
- Producing Well (PR): a well for which extraction is occurring.
- Shut-in (SI): a shut-in well is completed and capable of production, yet no production is occurring.
- Injection Well (IJ): an injection well is a well used for waste disposal or secondary recovery.
- Shut-in Injection Well (SI-IJ): an injection well that has been shut in.
- Temporarily Abandoned (TA): a well that is temporarily abandoned cannot produce without mechanical intervention. Said plainly, the operator has removed equipment from the well, which makes extraction not possible until that equipment has been returned. Abandoned means there is no chance the well will return to being a producing well. Despite its label, there is still an operator of record associated with the well.
- Active (AC): no extraction is actively occurring from active wells. Nor is anything being actively injected into an active well. Typically these wells are for gas storage or they are used as a monitoring well.
Inactive Wells
- Plugged & Abandoned (PA): this type of well is not producing nor will it ever produce again. It is not only abandoned (see definition above), but also it is plugged. A plugged well is sealed with casing at the surface. Abandoned means there is no chance the well will return to being a producing well. Despite its label, there is still an operator of record associated with the well.
Other Well Status
- Abandoned location (AL): the location on which the well is proposed is vacated by the operator. No drilling occurs nor is even initiated. When an operator initiates drilling, the work is called spudding.
- Approved Permit (AP): the operator has obtained approval for its engineering permit but has not initiated drilled. When an operator initiates drilling, the work is called spudding.
- Expired Permit (EP): the previously approved engineering permit has expired. The operator cannot operate the well without re-applying for a new permit.
- Suspended Operations (SO): drilling/construction ceases before reaching planned depth.
