This option allows researchers to search for, view, and
download scanned logs for Utah wells. Currently there are
approximately 47,000 logs from about 14,000 wells available
for viewing
Many of these logs were scanned and made available to the
state of Utah through a generous donation by
TGS Geological Products and Services
(formerly A2D Technologies). TGS and the Utah Geological
Survey continue to scan the remainder of our existing paper
logs and new logs being received. These images will
periodically be added here to our web collection. Individual
logs may be downloaded from our site, but in an effort to
avoid competing with TGS, we do not offer batch downloads of
multiple logs.
Original paper logs are also available for viewing at
the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining and Utah Geological Survey
offices in Salt Lake City. Call our Public Information Center
at (801) 538-5283 or (801) 538-5279 for more information.
LAS FILES NOW AVAILABLE
In recent years, the Utah Division of
Oil, Gas and Mining has received LAS logs (Log ASCII Standard)
for some new wells. These logs are now available for
downloading. Currently, only one log can be downloaded at a
time. To locate these logs, go to the "Search Well Logs"
option in the blue navigation bar above. Then, enter an API
number for a specific well in the 3rd drop-down box and select
"submit," OR, change the 1st drop-down box to "Log Type," then
enter "LAS" into the 3rd box, and click on "submit." The first
option will show you all logs for the well of your choice,
whereas the 2nd option will give you a listing of all LAS
files currently available. Once an LAS log is downloaded, you
will need to use a special viewer to view and interpret the
contents of the file.

NOTE: Using a well's API
Number (American Petroleum Institute standard format for
numbering) is usually the most acurate way to pinpoint
searches for individual wells. All API numbers for Utah wells
begin with 43 (the API state code for Utah). The next 3 digits
represent the county (
see county codes
). Digits 6 thru 10 are a sequential number assigned when a
new well is permitted for drilling. A search done where
"API Well Number is Like 43037" will retrieve all
wells in San Juan County.
