Unique ID in this database. Note that these values will change between database versions.

Samples are classified by the play type / reservoir type of the sampled formation. "Shale" are shale and mixed-shale plays as d

conglomerates, and evaporites. Nearly all conventional hydrocarbon production falls into this category, yet it also includes som

Total Dissolved Solids, in mg/L. Value is the reported measured value (1), reported calculated value (2), or the value calculated
If not already in mg/L, TDS was converted from ppm using the specific gravity (1) or an empirical relationship of total dissolved
specific gravity, and then convert from ppm to mg/L.

Latitude. Uses latitude of the source information (where available). If the source dataset is missing location information, then
order: latitude of county centroid (where the county of the well is known), latitude of the approximate center of the field base
information is available), latitude of the centroid of the basin within the state of the well location (where information is availa

Longitude. Uses longitude of the source information (where available). If the source dataset is missing location information, th
