About the data & interpretation

Well paths come from the North Dakota DMR survey dataset. Display colors and line widths help explain the geometry; they do not represent physical wellbore diameter or reservoir drainage.

Relative TVD is measured from each well’s own reference. It is not a common elevation datum across wells.
