The primary way to access data begins by entering a block number to see summary information on leases, fields, wells, completions, platforms, planned sites, and pipelines on that block.

1. Enter an area-block in the upper left corner. If you know an ID of a particular feature like a field name or well API, you can enter that as well.
2. You can now view all leases, fields, wells, completions, platforms, planned sites, and pipelines on that block. The number on the right indicates the number of records of each dataset.
3. Selecting a feature will take you to the feature info page to access other functions and more detailed information.

GOMsmart is an exhaustive compilation of data for oil and gas development in the Gulf of Mexico. Both current and historical records are accessible. It is updated hourly: 24/7. so you can check the update status to see when new records were added to a dataset or check what datasets are currently being updated.

GOMsmart provides an interactive map of all leases, fields, wells, completions, plans and facilities. Layers can be turned on/off to easily locate the relevant information. Clicking on the map will retrieve a list of features in the area (this is called a “Hotlink”) if you want more information. Maps can also be exported for viewing off-line or printing.
