I am stupid to offshore fishing but no one maps these wellheads by cord & shares them with garmin? Hope that’s not a silly question.

Mapping/keeping an updated map with all the wellheads out there would be a difficult job. There are wellheads being removed everywhere. Simrad does not have the well heads all marked. I don’t believe Garmin does either.

What scares me is when well heads are not lit (as they should be) or are damaged by storms, disrepair etc and have some debris barely sticking out above the water line.

It’s a miracle this doesn’t happen more.

BOEM maitains an accurate database of all OCS platforms, including platforms that have been removed. This only applies to platforms and wellheads in OCS waters outside the 3 mile line. The database can be used to import these locations into any gps system with the use of com software.
