USGS Produced Waters Geochemical Database and Map Viewer

USGS Updates the National Produced Waters Geochemical Database and Map Viewer!The USGS has updated the National Produced Waters Geochemical Database and Map Viewer "to include trace elements, isotopes, and time-series data, as well as nearly 100,000 new samples with greater spatial coverage and from both conventional and unconventional well types, including geothermal. The provisional database is a compilation of 25 individual databases, publications, or reports."

The data for Arizona [right] come from oil exploration wells on the Colorado Plateau and what the USGS describes as 'geothermal' sources in the northwest corner of the state.

The database is expected to be updated with new data as provided and needed.
