One Platform. Every Colorado Well.
Built for Analysis.
Colorado O&G data, structured for the questions that matter. CWIP normalizes, links, and continuously updates the full corpus of ECMC (Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission) public data into a single analytical foundation — built for operators, analysts, land men, reservoir engineers, and researchers.
The Data Exists.
The Analytical Layer Didn't. Until Now.
Colorado's oil and gas data is public record. But public record and usable data are not the same thing. Production history lives in annual ZIP files. Well documents exist as scanned TIFFs in a Laserfiche archive most analysts don't know exists. Environmental records are buried in separate forms. Facility data lives in a GIS shapefile. There is no common layer connecting any of it — no way to query across wells, compare operators, or analyze trends without assembling the pieces yourself. For analysts and operators, that friction is the difference between insight and guesswork. CWIP is that common layer.

ECMC's Laserfiche archive contains scanned completion reports dating to the 1950s. CWIP's OCR pipeline converts these image files into structured records linked to well_master by API number — available to all active subscribers upon release.
Built for Analysis.
Not for Excel.
Query CWIP Parquet files directly with standard SQL. No installation complexity — single executable, free, works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The fastest path to answers for SQL-comfortable analysts.
Full programmatic access via pandas and the Arrow library. Every delivery package includes a quickstart guide with copy-paste ready code for loading, joining, and querying all CWIP tables.
Native Parquet support via the arrow and dplyr packages. R users can query CWIP data at full speed without loading entire datasets into memory.
CWIP data is delivered in Parquet format. The full production dataset (15.6M rows) exceeds Microsoft Excel's row limit. Excel-compatible CSV summary files are included in every delivery package for well registry and annual production data.
Research-Grade. Documented.
Defensible.
Every dataset in CWIP is validated before delivery. Row counts, null rates, primary key uniqueness, and foreign key resolution rates are verified and documented for every table. Known limitations are disclosed explicitly — not buried in footnotes. Every delivery includes a SHA-256 checksum manifest so file integrity can be confirmed on receipt. Every data point traces directly to ECMC primary sources — no aggregators, no intermediaries, 100% documented source lineage. The goal is a dataset you can cite, not just query.
Every data point in CWIP traces directly to its ECMC primary source — no aggregators, no intermediaries. Collection method, URL patterns, transformation steps, and ingestion dates are documented in the methodology report included with every delivery package.
Foreign key resolution rates are verified across every table. Production records resolve to well_master at 100%. Plugging documents resolve at 100%. Known gaps — such as sidetrack wellbores absent from the ECMC well registry — are documented with row-level counts and root cause explanations.
Every column in every delivery table has a documented null rate. Expected nulls — such as oil volumes for gas-only wells, or depth fields absent from the source shapefile — are distinguished from data gaps and explained in the validation report.
Every delivery package includes a SHA-256 checksum manifest, a full validation report, a methodology document, a data dictionary, a quickstart guide, and a schema reference. Customers can verify file integrity on receipt and trace every analytical output back to its source.
The Questions
CWIP Answers
CWIP is not a dashboard. It's a data foundation. You bring your own tools — DuckDB, Python, R, Excel. CWIP brings every Colorado well, normalized, linked, and documented. No per-seat pricing. No sales call. No platform lock-in.
Production history, formation breakdown, and operator activity for every well within your area of interest — in a single query.
Clean, portable, documented data you can load into any tool and cite in any deliverable.
Operator ownership history, drilling permits, and well registry data linked by API number.
Inspection records, NOAVs, spill reports, environmental chemistry, and bradenhead tests — linked across tables.
22M+ rows of normalized production, compliance, and regulatory data with no platform dependency and no per-seat pricing.
Primary source regulatory data with full methodology documentation and SHA-256 verified delivery.
"What is the production history, formation breakdown, and operator activity for every well within 5 miles of this lease?"
This is the first query any landman or E&P analyst wants to run before a lease decision. Without CWIP, answering it means navigating multiple ECMC interfaces, downloading separate files, and assembling the picture manually — a process that takes days. CWIP makes it a single operation.
Read the full walkthrough →"Which operators in the DJ Basin are achieving the best 12-month cumulative production per lateral foot, and what completion parameters correlate with outperformance?"
Understanding which operators are outperforming in a basin — and why — normally requires assembling production data, completion records, and well details from multiple sources by hand. CWIP normalizes production and completion data into a common format so the comparison is tractable without a dedicated research team.
"Which wells within this operator's portfolio have environmental chemistry records showing elevated TDS or benzene, and do any overlap with plugging or spill report filings?"
Cross-referencing water quality records against spill history and plugging status on the same wells is exactly the kind of screen an environmental consultant or prospective acquirer needs to run. Without CWIP, it requires pulling data from separate ECMC systems and assembling it manually — a process most teams skip because the effort is prohibitive.
"How many wells in Weld County have active production status but no plugging record on file, and what is their combined estimated abandonment liability?"
Identifying wells with active status and no plugging record on file is a standard liability screen for operators, investors, and regulators alike. CWIP links production status, well registry data, and plugging records so this screen runs in seconds — rather than requiring manual record-by-record checks across separate state databases.
"Which wells in this operator's portfolio have been shut-in for more than 3 years with no plugging record on file, and what is their combined estimated bond exposure?"
Wells that have been inactive for years without a plugging record represent real financial exposure — for operators, for bondholders, and for the state. CWIP links well status, plugging documentation, and bond records so operators and investors can quantify that exposure across an entire portfolio without manual research.
"Before acquiring this operator's Colorado assets, what is their inspection violation rate, spill history, and outstanding NOAV count over the past 5 years?"
Before acquiring an operator's Colorado assets, any buyer wants to know their compliance track record — inspection history, spill incidents, and enforcement actions over the past several years. CWIP makes that a fast, documented screen rather than a weeks-long records pull across multiple regulatory databases.

Colorado Is the
Starting Line.
CWIP is architected for multi-state expansion. Every state oil and gas commission maintains comparable public data at similar depth — production records, well registries, environmental filings, and regulatory documents. The platform Colorado subscribers use today is the same platform that will serve every producing state in the portfolio.
Planned state releases: North Dakota, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, California, and Pennsylvania. Each state release multiplies the analytical surface area available for cross-state comparison, acquisition analysis, and regional research.
