What is AL State Oil & Gas Board?

Alabama State Oil & Gas Board canonical inventory served from agency data services (CMP/Natural_Resources/data services). Five curated layers: Layer 28 Complete oil and gas well inventory (~2,890 wells with structured fields — Permit/API/WellName/Operator/FieldName/PoolName/WellStatus/WellType/CountyName/SecNum/Township/Range/PermitDate/SpudDate/FirstProdu); Layer 35 Well bottomhole locations (~409 lean BH points — no operator/well-name); Layer 36 Offshore structures (~35 platforms with Operator/Type/Structure/Tract); Layer 37 Alabama lease blocks (~355 polygons); Layer 32 Field units (~165 producing-horizon polygons). The data services also serves Mississippi (39-43) and Florida (45-50) data — handler scopes only to Alabama group (parentLayerId 27). Top counties: Mobile 1,116 (39%), Escambia 848, Baldwin 400, Clarke 177 — 81% of records in 5 counties. Region distribution: SW (Mobile/Escambia/Baldwin) 2,803 (97%), OFFSHORE 82, SE 3, BWB 2. Mobile-OS / Baldwin-OS suffix marks offshore wells. §0 spec drift caught: build-plan brief said 'layer 39' — that's actually Mississippi data on the same data services. AL canonical wells are at layer 28. Field labels are confusing upstream: WellStatus is a 2-letter code (DA/PA/PR/CA/CV/TA/UN/AC/SI/PB), TypeDesc is the descriptive STATUS string ('Dry and Abandoned', 'Producing'); WellType is product code (OIL/UN/GC/GAS/WI/SWD/GI/GS/WS), StatusDesc is descriptive TYPE ('Oil', 'Gas Condensate', 'Water Disposal')..
