Computer-Aided Data Management and Analysis at Ohio Division of Geological Previous HitSurveyNext Hit

Lawrence H. Wickstrom

The Ohio Division of Geological Previous HitSurveyNext Hit has been actively working toward computerization of selected records and processes for the past 2 years. Much of this work has been accomplished under sponsorship by the Gas Research Institute. Currently, hardware includes a network of microcomputers, VAX minicomputers, and an Intergraph Corporation graphics workstation.

Records that are in the process of being entered into computer data bases include: production, geologic, and permit data for all Devonian shale wells; records of all wells reaching the Mount Simon Sandstone or deeper; selected geochemical brine analyses; and mineral-industry statistics. As these projects are completed and additional computer equipment becomes available, the scope of the geologic data bases will grow.

Processes that now utilize computers include: word processing and publication preparation, data-Previous HitbaseNext Hit management, statistical analyses, Previous HitbaseNext Hit-map digitization, and interactive geologic map production.

As more and more state, federal and local agencies and private individuals and companies enter into the use of computers, the Ohio Division of Geological Previous HitSurveyTop intends to continue to supply services in a usable format.
