Anyone looking for some general information on the oilpatch will find a 6,000-word overview of the industry on Wikipedia. Anyone wanting a bit more detail should look to WellWiki.org. The site recently launched with a focus on well data, but its ultimate goal is to become the Wikipedia of the patch. Currently, it holds information on over 400,000 wells from nearly 12,000 different operators in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and New York and has more on the way. There are also articles on companies and primers on popular topics like the concerns associated with hydraulic fracturing-ail written and edited by eager online collaborators, much like any other wiki.
