Since 1970, the Petroleum Data Library has served as a trusted resource for oil and gas professionals seeking historical and hard-to-find data.

Located in the heart of East Texas, our Tyler facility houses extensive archives focused on Districts 5 and 6, and extends into District 3, Northern Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas.

Concerned about the lack of available drilling data—such as electric logs, scout tickets, and mud logs—a group of geologists founded the Library in 1970 to preserve critical information that might otherwise have been lost. Their vision created a lasting resource that benefits consultants, major and independent operators, and the broader energy industry.
