Oil Information Library of Ft Worth

The library was founded in 1985, to encourage, foster, and promote scientific research in the fields of geological science and engineering. Since then we have generated reciprocal agreements with numerous additional libraries to expand coverage for our members. We have extensive historical collections of scout cards, driller’s logs, electric logs, core reports and maps for Texas RRC districts 5, 6, 7B, 7C, 8, 8A, 9 and 10. There is also coverage for districts 1 through 4 as well as texts, treatises, field guides, and periodicals from all over the country, many of which have been "buried" as data sources have merged and publications have gone digital. We have excellent data in Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Wyoming and Rockies historical scout ticket coverage. New Collections and Data are always coming in. In 2019 alone, OIL-FW received six contributions, including extensive Rockies cards, logs, and publications, as well as unique Texas logs. We provide Daily, Monthly, Quarterly or Annual memberships which include access to our research as well as workstations and our qualified librarian. We now have an incredible Member Discount Program where we've partnered with local businesses and service providers who will offer OIL members exclusive discounts on their respective services.
