The analysis necessary to complete the above-described work requires a broad coverage of data and information concerning drilling rig activities in the U.S., well locations, drilling and completion status, permitting activity, and production data all within one website location. The DEMD’s analysis needs requires this web-based information be supported by accompanying analytical tools for decline curve analysis of well production data and creation of maps depicting these attributes. Additional data regarding electrical grid infrastructure such as capacity, substations, and locations are of interest but not required. A key requirement is that the database must provide comprehensive national coverage (information wherever oil and gas development exists), unlimited data access for the subscription period (no usage-based access limit) and the deliverables specified in the Statement of Work.

The CDF represents a technical solution to the complex challenge of sharing data in the DIE, constrained by networks, cyber policies, and human behavior.
