Gas Well Workshop

The Way the Workshop Works

Each class session has one or more assigned videos and documents created for the workshop, and a session exercise.

Additional resources are available for each session for those who want to learn more. These include links to regulations, Office of Oil and Gas documents, and so on.

The Workshop videos, documents and additional resources are what we wished we had available when we first started looking at gas wells. There’s a lot of information in this Workshop, too much to digest at once. The hope is that the “library” of materials will be useful as class members begin to spend time looking at wells or studying databases.

Links to the sessions and other materials are found on the righthand sidebar.
