- Areas in purple are also federal public lands leased for oil & gas but here the leases will expire unless the oil and gas companies start producing oil or gas there.
- The black areas are oil & gas wells on all types of lands — federal, state, and private lands.

If you would like to look at the oil and gas leasing data yourself, go to our Upcoming Oil and Gas Leases page for Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, or Wyoming and find the data in Google Earth kmz or GIS Shapefile format at the bottom of the page.
