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
OLA013K. The oil proration ledger: per lease, twelve months of production and fourteen months of allowable with the carried balances.
RRC splits it into ten files, one per district or district pair, listed separately on its downloads page. One layout, one MFT folder, one dataset here.
What you can do with it
Compare oil lease production against allowable month by month, and find leases running an overproduction balance.
Gotchas
EBCDIC with packed decimals and implied decimal places.
Twelve months only. The historical ledger is where the long series lives.
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
0 columns.
We have not transcribed the record layout for this dataset yet. The RRC manual linked under “Where this comes from” is the authoritative description in the meantime.
