The Railroad Commission publishes these as EBCDIC, fixed-width ASCII, dBase and shapefiles, described only in scanned COBOL manuals. Here they are with the record layouts, code lookups and join keys spelled out — and exports in formats a spreadsheet can open.
W-3 plugging reports: when a well was plugged, to what depth, and with what.
A rolling window of W-10 oil well status tests, one row per test filed.
Where 1.38 million Texas wells are, at the surface, with the API number.
Named geological formations and the depth each was encountered at.
When each form was filed against a wellbore, plus elevation and plug-back depths.
The same wellbore database, in the raw IBM mainframe encoding.
Every gas well on the proration schedule, with its allowables, G-1 completions and G-10 tests.
Every well ever assigned an API number in Texas, with casing, tubing, perforations, formations, plugging and inactive-well tests.
Fourteen months of gas allowable against reported production, well by well.
Fourteen months of allowable, acreage, potential and gas-oil ratio for every scheduled oil well.
What was pumped into the well, over what interval, at completion.
Every oil well on the proration schedule, with 26 months of allowables and its W-10 tests.
Every drilling permit number ever issued against a wellbore.
42.9 million gas well-months, 1993 to 2024: allowable, word allowable, production, overage and the well's type that month.
Annual oil production, well counts and gravity, per field.
Waterflood and secondary-recovery groups that take a lease allowable instead of well allowables.
RRC's tight-sands file — which is the whole high-cost gas record, not a subset.
