What this is

The repeating production-interval rows of a completion packet: from-depth, to-depth, the bottomhole and lateral labels for multi-lateral wells, and the open-hole flag.

How it is laid out

The Railroad Commission publishes this as Fixed-width ASCII. Columns are byte ranges with no separators, described only in a scanned record layout. We decode it into a table you can open anywhere. It has 9 columns and about 558.2K rows.

The columns you will most likely want:

  • tracking_no The completion packet's RRC tracking number.
  • packet_id Identifier of the completion packet this row belongs to.
  • parent_id Identifier of the G-1 or W-2 record this row hangs off.
  • row_no Sequence number of this row within its parent record. Part of the key.
  • from_depth Top of the producing interval, feet.
  • to_depth Bottom of the producing interval, feet.

…and 3 more, all documented on the full page.

What we add

Identify the completed interval per lateral, which matters for any horizontal well with more than one branch, and measure completed length.

  • Decoded out of the Commission's original format into something Excel opens.
  • Filterable before you download, so you can take one county instead of the whole state.

Worth knowing before you use it

The lateral label is how a multi-lateral completion distinguishes its branches. Ignoring it double-counts intervals for the same well.
