GIS data based on an Oil & Gas Data model

Creating GIS data based on a standard data model across the spectrum of data offerings is a challenging job. Over the last few months we, at US Land Grid, have been working hard to produce a standard data model for our GIS datasets. This means that our landgrid, our Texas Survey data, our tax parcels or surface ownership data, and our Oil and Gas wells all inherently belong to that standard data model. This is going to make it easier for you, the GIS consumer, to use and relate our data within just your software platform, or multiple GIS / mapping platforms. 


Providing useful GIS data that is easy to use and manipulate - without having to rework the data - is important to us at US Land Grid. The data we provide has been built by Oil and Gas professionals who understand the data models and needs of organizations that want accurate on-demand data.
We also believe that land grid is just that - land grid. We provide the full story of the land. This includes sections, townships, quarters, surveys, lots, abstracts, blocks, surveys and sub-surveys. In Texas, you get the comprehensive Texas land survey. In the PLSS states, you get the comprehensive public and blm land survey. We don't leave any GIS data out - especially when you look at our Texas Survey our our section township range data.
The same goes for our Tax Parcels and Surface Ownership data. It's based on the same data model allowing for easy integration and relational abilities. Currrently, we have 300+ county tax parcels, focused on Oil and Gas producing areas. One last point... we get our Tax Parcel data directly from each county assessor helps us rest easy that you will enjoy the quality and updates provided with our Surface OWnership GIS Data.
Our Oil and Gas wells are taking some time as we confirm to the standards of our multiple data GIS data model. Each state provides US Land Grid the well data, permit data and production data in different formats and different data models. This makes it challenging for us, but easpecially for GIS professionals who are trying to make the data work within organizations. Our Oil and Gas wells will be ready for release before year end, but they will be complete with consistency across our other datasets, with a full menu of attributes from completion dates to directionals. We excited to bring this special GIS dataset to you, and we think it will be enjoyed by oil and gas GIS professionals US wide.
It's hard not to focus on our data... I think one of the things that makes US Land Grid different from the others is price, and the fact that the data is delivered immediately. If you need to speak to someone you can, but you don't need to. You can buy the GIS data (which is affordable) and download it within seconds. For the oil and gas community, it's the first services focused on them that provides anything similar to this.
The story doesn't end there. Within the next twelve months you will see new offerings, both paid and complimentary, coming from US Land Grid.
The focus will remain - complete - easy to use - updated - GIS data.
