HOUSTON, Oct. 30
– The Kentucky Geological Survey at the University of Kentucky has completed scanning a data base of more than 590,000 records from Kentucky oil and gas drilling operations.

The data base is publicly accessible on the KGS website (http://www.uky.edu/KGS/emsweb/data/ogdata.html).

Scanning began in 1984, and the first scanned records became available at the KGS web site in the summer of 2002, and in 2008 worldwide users conducted more than 83,560 searches.

The project, the culmination of more than 25 years of work, makes available the former contents of 530 file drawers of records.
