Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy oil and gas surface and bottom-hole locations, directional starts, and gas-storage field polygons. ~92K surface holes plus ~96K bottom-hole records with operator, formation, and depth.

What is MI Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy?

Michigan EGLE oil and gas well registry served via the EGLE MiStar data services + DEQ DataMiner / DataMinerWells2 data services. Surface holes (~92,375) live on layer 0 with a lean schema and code-based WellStatus (PLA, PR, TP, ACT, SI, TA). Bottom-hole locations (~96,566) and directional starts (~95,295) live on layer 0 and /2 with the rich schema — operator (co_name), descriptive well_stat (Producing, Plugging Approved, Terminated Permit), well_type (OIL/GAS/MTW/DH/WIW/GS), drilled total depth (dtd), true vertical depth (tvd), and deepest formation (deep_fm). Gas storage field boundary polygons (~61) on layer 6. §0 spec drift caught: brief said EGLE_MiStar layers 0-3 = surface/bottom/dir/fields; actual layout has NO surface-hole layer in EGLE_MiStar — surface lives on DataMinerWells2 instead. No county column on any wells layer; spatial scoping uses bbox or near. ; responses normalized to WGS84. Last verified live 2026-05-07.

Available Tools

searchSurfaceHoles
Surface-hole locations (~92.4K). Filter apiNumber, permitNumber, wellName, wellType (OIL/GAS/MTW/DH), status code (PLA/PR/TP/ACT). Lean schema — no operator/formation/depth.
searchBottomHoles
Bottom-hole locations (~96.6K). Filter operator (co_name), leaseName, formation (deep_fm), wellType, descriptive status (Producing, Plugging Approved). Includes dtd, tvd.
searchGasStorageFields
Gas storage field boundary polygons (~61). Filter fieldName + bbox/near.
searchDirectionalStarts
Directional start (kickoff) points (~95.3K) — same schema and filters as bottom holes.
getWellByApi
Single well lookup by API number — checks both surface (DataMinerWells2/0) and bottom-hole (EGLE_MiStar/0) layers.
getServiceInfo
Schema, record counts, and enum values for any of the 4 services.
