DENR's Oil and Gas Initiative
The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is promoting exploration and development of South
Dakota’s oil and gas resources through its oil and gas initiative. A major component of the initiative is to make state-held information that is pertinent to the exploration and development of South Dakota’s oil and gas
resources searchable and readily available online. Click here or on the map to get started. For help using the interactive map, a slide show tutorial is available.
Therefore, DENR has developed an online, “one-stop shop” for oil and gas information which includes a searchable and interactive map. The map puts geologic information from 1,900 oil and gas holes, 62,245 water well completion logs, 34,350 drill holes, and 1,555 observation wells simply a click away. Online, searchable databases are available at the addresses listed on the fact sheet below.
