PDMS Basic and Premium Subscription Versions
Basic Subscription
The Indiana Geological and Water Survey maintains extensive geologic records, well data and sample collections for the state. The Petroleum Database Management System (PDMS) provides information on nearly 75,000 petroleum wells at its online website. Users can access and search the database to find, obtain, and print reports, maps, and other well data. The Survey does not charge for viewing or downloading drilling reports and other types of records submitted by operators, geologists, landowners, government agencies or industry; we strive to make these records conveniently accessible at no charge via the PDMS Basic Service.
Premium Subscription
Other features, reports, and interpretations in the PDMS are created by geologists and other professionals employed by the Survey. Value-added features such as these are only included in the PDMS Premium Subscription Service. To help offset the cost of providing and maintaining the PDMS, the Survey now charges an annual subscription fee for participating in the Premium Service.
