No download is available for this dataset yet. It is catalogued here so the record layout and code lookups are at least written down.
What this is
OGA040. The field directory: field number, field name and the district the field is in.
A Texas field number turns up on permits, completions, production reports and severance-tax filings, and on none of them is the name spelled out. This is the file that makes the rest readable.
What you can do with it
Decode field numbers anywhere they appear, and find every field whose name matches a play or a formation.
Gotchas
Field numbers are eight digits and are frequently written without leading zeros elsewhere; pad before joining.
The PDQ field directory carries the same numbers with far more attributes and is queryable here.
EZRRC does not parse this file. Upstream has not built a reader for it yet, so the catalog documents it and links to the Commission's own copy rather than pretending to serve rows it does not have.
Record layout
