APIs for oil and gas well location/production data?

Question

I've been hunting for something like this but haven't found anything yet:

for oil and gas.

Any ideas?

I judged a student poster at AGU in either 2011 or 2012 on a database collecting info about petrochemical samples ... I can't remember the name of the project though. You might find something at EarthCube -- they have a specific group for Petrology & Geochemistry : workspace.earthcube.org/petrology-geochemistry — Joe, Mar 14 '14 at 18:52
