Arkansas Production Data - awkward JDesignerPro system - requires multiple searches to put a single well together. Some by API but mostly you'll need Permit No. first.
Colorado Production data - select DATABASE on left side - then Production
Kansas Production data - select Lease Production on upper right side
Lousiana DNR on line production and well information (click on Sonris Lite in the upper left corner)
Louisiana well log TIF files - Supposedly requires a 20 meg "IDM" file viewer downoad - but scroll right and you'll see a .tif download link.
Minerals Management Service well data - good luck. Also field reserves data or might be better production and lease data here
Mississippi on line production and well information - some also on DEQ Geology Dept - see geological survey lists
