Oil and Gas Directional Well Actual and planned directional wellbore survey surface projections as reported by the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission. Prior to January 1, 2012, straight-line wellbore traces (from surface hole locations to corresponding bottom hole locations) were automatically generated for directional and horizontal wells. The generated wellbore traces do not represent the true wellbore path. After January 1, 2012, directional lines have been generated using operator-submitted well survey information.
