Hi Tom,

Below is a list of the files we have downloaded that are in question. 

- Well Header Data 111412 (Available at: 

http://wogcc.state.wy.us/urecordsMenu.cfm?Skip='Y'&oops=ID24928)

- Production Data (Available at: http://wogcc.state.wy.us/WebUpFileapis.cfm?oops=1) 

For this, we uploaded a file of well API numbers and downloaded the resulting excel file. 

We would like to publish the excel file with production data and the whole well header database in the public 

record. It would be greatly appreciated if you could respond to this email specifying whether or not these data 

files are copyrighted or not. If not, these files will be made available to the public on www.regulations.gov at 

the time of proposal. If the data is copyrighted, it will only be made available to the public at a read only 

computer station in Washington D.C..

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Sincerely,

Daisy Wang

Hi Mr. Kropatsch, 

 

My name is Daisy Wang and I work for Eastern Research Group, Inc., a contractor for the 

United States Environmental Protection Agency. We are supporting EPA with a rule making that 

will cover the unconventional oil and gas extraction industry 

(http://water.epa.gov/scitech/wastetech/guide/oilandgas/unconv.cfm). 

 

As part of the rulemaking process, we downloaded data from the Wyoming Oil and Gas 

Conservation Commission website for analysis. EPA has determined that they would like to 

make these analyses and the raw data available in the public record to support the rulemaking. 

We noticed that the website has a blanket copyright claim, but it is unclear what is covered under 

this claim. Could you help us to clarify if specific data files are copyrighted or not? If so, I can 

send you a list of the data files that are in question. If not, could you please point us to the best 

person who can answer our question?

I recently left you a voicemail with this same information, but hopefully it will be easier to read 

in an e-mail! Thank you in advance for your help.
