EIA’s mission and main functions
Adam Sieminski, Energy Council March 09, 2013 2
Independent Statistical and Analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy
– EIA collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.
– By law, its data, analyses, and forecasts are independent of approval by any other officer or employee of the U.S. Government
[EIA] …is the gold standard for energy data around the world, and the accessibility of it is so much greater than other places – Dan Yergin, Platts Inside Energy
An average well in shale gas and other continuous resource plays can also have steep decline curves, which require continued drilling to grow production

Groundwater Protection Council (GWPC)
Adam Sieminski, Energy Council March 09, 2013 20
• The Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC) consists of state ground water regulatory agencies (spun out of the IOGCC)
• The purpose is to promote and ensure the use of best management practices and fair but effective laws regarding comprehensive ground water protection
• FracFocus Website – FracFocus is the national hydraulic fracturing chemical registry and is managed by the GWPC and Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC)
Risked Based Data Management System (RBDMS)
Adam Sieminski, Energy Council March 09, 2013 21
• More than 22 regulatory agencies use the RBDMS data management system for tracking oil, gas, injection well and water protection activities
• Since 1992, development of RBDMS software underwritten through grants from the DOE. Funding has also been provided by state agencies including in-kind services
• Provides access to data for well history, tracking ownership, bonding, permitting, location, construction, inspection, production, and plugging/ restoration, and compliance
• RBDMS development is directed by the Technical Committee, a users’ group whose participation is drawn from multiple states
Adam Sieminski, Energy Council March 09, 2013 22
Oil and gas wells drilled in 2012 and RBDMS partners
Currently talking to TX, CA, LA, and WV
Objectives of EIA-GWPC partnership
Adam Sieminski, Energy Council March 09, 2013 23
• Increase public availability of timely, accurate, and comprehensive U.S. oil and gas production data
• Continually strive to meet emerging data needs such as current need for shale production data
• Provide timely analyses of oil and gas production trends through geospatial analysis
• Collaborate with RBDMS partners to develop tailored data systems
EIA – GWPC/RBDMS Working Together to Improve Oil/Gas Data Availability and Quality
Adam Sieminski, Energy Council March 09, 2013 24
• Phase 1: Central data repository consisting of the latest available data from each RBDMS state
– pilot project, proof of concept for 4 states underway now
– future expansion to all 22 states
– data not as timely as EIA-914 expansion but will be used for EIA-914 QA
• Phase 2: Improved data collection – establish common/standard data definitions/translation across states
– improve QA processes
– expand number of states
– provide more timely analyses of oil/gas production using geospatial analysis and other GWPC/RBDMS data

Adam Sieminski, Energy Council March 09, 2013 26
• ND Dept of Mineral Resources provides timely, complete and reliable oil and gas data and information
• Data collection – streamlined and automated – electronic only
– advanced edit procedures applied
– collection at multiple points provides checks and balances and ensures consistency
– enforcement provides for timely responses from respondents
• Data reporting – timely and accurate – monthly data published 45 days after end of the month
– few/minor revisions to data
– public accessibility: comprehensive data posted on internet site
– continuous process and reporting improvement expand the public’s understanding of oil/gas developments in the state
– interactive GIS map server available to public with well level and field level data

Why EIA matters to you
Adam Sieminski, Energy Council March 09, 2013 27
• Data from all states in one location: comparisons/rankings/maps
• Data-mining to routine monthly data retrievals
• Context and perspective: short and longer term outlooks
• Webinars, workshops, conferences
• Energy Explained and Energy Kids
My Challenge as Administrator: Improving the quality, timeliness and accessibility of EIA information – data, analysis and outlooks Building on data information management systems like RBDMS could be a way for all of us to benefit
