What features are included with Lite plan?

The Lite plan provides free, ongoing access to WellDatabase so you can search public well data, explore wells on an interactive map, and quickly access state-reported well information. 

Lite is designed for users who need convenient access to public well information without searching multiple state or regulatory websites. It includes basic search, mapping, and well viewing capabilities, while advanced tools and additional data access require a paid subscription. 

Included Features

With Lite, you can:

  • Search public well data using the available filters.

  • Explore wells on the interactive Map.

  • Zoom to an area on the map to view nearby wells.

  • Switch between Map, List, and Analytics views.

  • View the Overview dashboard for your current search results.

  • View state-reported well and production data. (Allocated production data requires a paid subscription.) 

  • Open and view up to 50 unique well detail cards each month.

Search Filters Available With Lite

Lite includes the following search filters:

  • API/UWI: Search for one API/UWI at a time. Searching multiple API/UWI values at once requires a paid plan.
  • Well Name: Search for one well name at a time.
  • Leases: Search for wells by lease.
  • Area of Interest: Search within the current Map Bounds or select No Restrictions. Creating a Custom Area of Interest requires a paid plan.
  • Land Grid: Search by land grid values, including multiple Section/Township/Range combinations or, in Texas, Surveys and Abstracts.
  • Counties: Select and search multiple counties.
  • States: Select and search multiple states.

Discover Additional Features

Throughout WellDatabase, features available with a paid subscription are clearly identified.

Lite includes essential search, mapping, and well viewing capabilities. As you use WellDatabase, you'll also see opportunities to unlock advanced features that support more detailed analysis and workflows.

Depending on where you are in the application, you may see:

The Filters panel also highlights additional search categories that are available in a paid plan.

Well Detail View Limit

Lite includes access to 50 unique well detail cards each month. Once you reach this limit, you will see the “Well Detail Views are currently unavailable” message when attempting to open another well detail card.

Your available well detail views reset monthly. You can also upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited well detail views.
