Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), certain information related to gas and oil wells may be protected from disclosure for various reasons, including national security, environmental concerns, and proprietary interests. Specifically, the location of gas and oil wells may be protected in some instances to prevent undue disclosures that could lead to environmental harm or exploitation.
While profitability, type, and reliability of wells could be considered sensitive, they are not necessarily classified under the same exemptions related to national security or environmental concerns. Thus, among the options provided, location is the most likely piece of information that is protected under exceptions related to gas and oil wells in the context of FOIA.
