# Layers, heatmaps & basemaps

> Turn map layers on and off, read heatmaps, and change the background map.

Hover the **Layers** icon on the right side of the map to open the layer list. **Permits**, **Completions**, **Texas Counties** and **Texas Basemap** (survey lines) are on from the start.

## Wells

| Layer               | Shows                                                                                                                                       |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Permits**         | New drilling permits.                                                                                                                       |
| **Completions**     | Recently completed wells.                                                                                                                   |
| **Well Pads**       | Wells grouped by the pad they were drilled from.                                                                                            |
| **Injection Wells** | Underground injection wells: Disposal, EOR, Storage and Other.                                                                              |
| **Satellite Pads**  | New ground cleared, detected from satellite imagery. Colors show whether there is a permit, a spud, older wells only, or nothing on record. |
| **Rig Watch**       | Watched sites, tagged by what the radar sees: rig on site, frac spread, equipment, facility, or nothing on site.                            |

## Analytics

| Layer                 | Shows                                                                                                                                |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Production Spikes** | Leases whose production jumped.                                                                                                      |
| **Producing Zones**   | Producing formations. Switch on **Producing wells only** to hide the rest.                                                           |
| **Lease Footprints**  | Lease outlines drawn on the survey grid. Label them by net asset value, PV-10, production, wells or acres, and choose a bench.       |
| **Well Heatmap**      | Hexagon heatmap of well metrics: infill opportunity, well density, lateral spacing, production, IP, completion intensity or vintage. |
| **Injection Heatmap** | Injection volumes, pressures, EOR share, permit density and capacity.                                                                |
| **Lease Valuation**   | PV-10, net asset value, PDP reserves, production, producing wells and lease counts.                                                  |
| **Well Tests**        | 26 metrics from well test filings, grouped by oil, gas, trend, fluid quality, shut-in and allowables.                                |
| **Frac Disclosures**  | Proppant intensity, job size, water and chemistry from FracFocus.                                                                    |

Only one heatmap shows at a time. Turning one on turns the others off. Each heatmap has a **metric picker** and a **color legend** once it's on. Click a hexagon to open its wells (or leases) and totals.

<Note>
  Lease footprints are drawn on the survey grid. They are an approximation, **not a title opinion**. The legend shows how exact each outline is: real survey lines, an inferred interior split, or an approximate outline.

## Reference

* **Texas Counties**
* **Texas Basemap**: survey lines and abstracts
* **RRC Districts**: switch on **Fill by district** to color each district
* **Pipelines**
* **Surface Tracts**

## Basemaps

Hover the **Basemap** icon (the stack) to choose a background: **Default**, **Dark**, **Light**, **Streets**, **Satellite**, **Topo**, and several plain grays.

## Well filters

Hover the **Filters** icon (the pin) to show only some **well types** (Permit, Oil Well, Gas Well, Dry, Injection, Shut-in Oil…) or a **wellbore** (**Vertical** or **Horizontal**). These apply at every zoom level. **Clear all filters** turns them off.

<Tip>
  For richer filters, like operator, dates, production or depth, use the [data tables](/maps/filters). The map follows those filters too.
</Tip>

## Well labels and icon size

Under **Settings** (the gear), choose **Well Labels** (operators, lease names, completion dates, total depth, well numbers) and **Well Icon Size**.
