DDS 69-Q: Areas of Historical Oil and Gas Exploration and Production in the United States

Information For Advanced Users

     Although this application provides a number of useful and sophisticated geoprocessing and cartographic functions, some users might find the need for more advanced Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis. Some of this functionality may include sophisticated queries and advanced cartographic functions including labeling and annotation. Given the interoperable nature of this product, these data can be used in a variety of applications. The following options are available:

  1. ArcGIS Information HereUsing ArcGIS Desktop—The services implemented in the Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Interactive Map Service application and interface can be easily integrated into your existing data in a 9.x version of ArcGIS Desktop. Add an internet server by using the "Add Internet Server" dialogue in ArcCatalog. The internet host name will be http://certmapper.cr.usgs.gov. Once the internet server has been successfully added, select the map service name, "US_Production." This service can be used in either ArcCatalog or ArcMap. For more details related to ArcGIS Desktop products, visit the ESRI ArcGIS product overview homepage at http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/.
