Locations of drillholes for minerals (substances such as quartz and gemstones) in NSW and associated information such as depth and date drilled. This is the mineral subset of the NSW drilling dataset available from Geoscientific Data Warehouse. The drillhole data has been compiled over time from various sources including mineral exploration reports and departmental records. It provides drill collar information for mineral drillholes and associated data including classification of drilling purpose, drill type, licencee/driller information, date the hole was drilled and depth of hole drilled, azimuth/dip and references. This data is part of the New South Wales Geoscientific Data Warehouse (NSW GDW) series.

Information about and locations of wells drilled to explore for and assess geology and/or potential petroleum resources. The petroleum drillholes dataset stores information about conventional petroleum wells within NSW. The dataset has been developed to record summary data on petroleum exploration and development drilling for holes drilled in New South Wales. The dataset contains summary information about each drillhole such as location, total depth, azimuth/dip, wireline logs, core availability and library location and DIGS references. This data is part of the New South Wales Geoscientific Data Warehouse (NSW GDW) series.

Information about and locations of wells drilled to explore for, assess or extract potential coal seam gas resources. The coal seam gas boreholes dataset stores information about CSG sites within NSW. The dataset has been developed to record summary data on CSG exploration and development drilling for holes drilled in New South Wales. The dataset contains summary information about each drillhole such as location, total depth, azimuth/dip, wireline logs, core availability and library location and DIGS references. This data is part of the New South Wales Geoscientific Data Warehouse (NSW GDW) series.

Locations of over 31,000 types of minerals throughout NSW, including coal, gas, gemstones and construction materials. This spatial dataset is a derivative product of the New South Wales Mineral Occurence Database (also known as New South Wales MetIndEx). It records over 31,000 known mineral occurrences throughout NSW. These records have been compiled from resource and production data compiled from both historic and current mining operations records held by the Geological Survey of NSW. Data records start from a state-wide Metallogenic Mapping program developed by the Survey in the late 1960s and are continuously improved via mandatory reporting. The alternative name MetIndEx refers to the METallics, INDustrial minerals and Exploration discoveries database of economic mineral deposits and occurrences in New South Wales. The data has been migrated over various databases from Microsoft Access to Oracle and SQL Server. The location data has also had multiple datum changes since the original database was compiled. The data is being continuously improved and refined by the custodians on an irregular basis. This data is part of the New South Wales Geoscientific Data Warehouse (NSW GDW) series.

This coverage contains a representation of the well locations in the Gillette Coalfield. This theme was created specifically for the National Coal Resources Assessment in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Great Plains Region.

Coal exploration drill-hole data from 5,037 wells located in Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Virginia, and Wyoming are provided in this data release. The wells are located in sixty-eight counties and were drilled between 1971 and 1981, primarily by Phillips Petroleum Company (Phillips). The hard-copy paper data were donated to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2001 by the North American Coal Corporation, which purchased the Phillips assets as part of a larger dataset. Under the terms of the agreement with North American Coal Corporation, the data were deemed proprietary until February 2011, a period of 10 years after the donation. The drill-hole data contained in this release were not previously included in USGS Open-File Report Series 2011-1261: Shallow Coal Exploration Drill-Hole Data -- Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Virginia, and Wyoming data are made publicly available by this report.

This ArcView shapefile contains a digital point data representation of the public drill hole data used in coal resource calculations for the Knobloch coal resource unit. This theme was created specifically for the National Coal Resources Assessment in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Great Plains Region.
