Free. You will be asked to confirm an email address before the files are built — that is the only gate, and it is there so we can tell you when a large export is ready.
What this is
One of the sixteen delimited tables inside the monthly Production Data Query dump. RRC publishes the dump as a single archive; EZRRC publishes each table inside it separately so you can take the one you need instead of a 3.6 GB zip.
Production, allowable, ending balance and total disposition rolled up to the county and month.
What you can do with it
Chart county production without aggregating 64 million lease rows yourself.
Gotchas
Upstream has loaded only a token slice of this table so far, so the row count is far short of what RRC publishes. The lease and county-lease tables are complete; roll those up if you need full coverage.
A lease number is only unique with the oil/gas code and the district in it. Oil lease 027587 in District 08 and gas lease 027587 in District 08 are different leases; so is oil lease 027587 in District 09.
district_no here is RRC's INTERNAL district numbering (01-14, 20), not the designation the industry prints. Internal 07 is District 6E, 08 is 7B, 09 is 7C, 10 is District 08, 11 is 8A, 13 is 09 and 14 is District 10. The district directory is the lookup; reading the number as a label is wrong.
Volumes are whole numbers in the reporting unit — barrels for liquids, MCF for gas. There are no implied decimals here, unlike the EBCDIC ledgers.
Cycle year and cycle month are separate columns; cycle_year_month is the two of them concatenated as YYYYMM and is the cheapest thing to range on.
Production is reported by lease, not by well. A lease can be one well or two hundred.

Code lookups used here
Every coded column in this dataset resolves to a real lookup table, so
a well code of G can be read as what it actually means.
Texas county code 277 values
Read by county_no
The three-digit county code RRC uses, which is also the county's FIPS code. `canonical_value` carries the full five-digit state plus county FIPS, so a county joins straight to Census geography. There are 254 Texas counties and 277 codes; the extras are offshore areas and administrative entries.

RRC district (internal number) 14 values
Read by district_no
RRC's internal sequential district numbering, 01 to 14 plus 20 for statewide. The production data, the UIC database and the high-cost gas certifications all use this.

Oil or gas schedule 2 values
Read by oil_gas_code
Which schedule a lease is carried on. This is not decoration: an oil lease number and a gas lease number can be the same digits and mean different leases, so a lease key is only unique with this code and the district in it.
| Code | Means |
|---|---|
O |
Oil Carried on the oil proration schedule; lease numbers are oil lease numbers. |
G |
Gas Carried on the gas proration schedule; lease numbers are gas well IDs. |

What this joins to
The Railroad Commission never states these keys anywhere in the files. They are the reason the data is hard to use, so here they are with the exact columns on both sides.
PDQ County Production by Cycle joins to PDQ County Directory on County number — many rows here share a single row there.
