Gas Ledger
Twelve months of gas production and fourteen months of allowable, by district group.
What this is
GSA020K. The gas proration ledger: for each gas well ID, twelve months of production and fourteen months of allowable, plus the balances the Commission carries forward.
RRC splits it into three files by district group — districts 1-3, districts 4-6 and 6E, and districts 7B through 10 — and publishes them as separate rows on its downloads page. They share one record layout and one MFT folder, so EZRRC catalogues …
How it is laid out
The Railroad Commission publishes this as EBCDIC (IBM cp037). IBM mainframe encoding (cp037). Opening it as text gives you nonsense; it has to be transcoded first. We mirror the Commission's file exactly as they published it, byte for byte. We have not decoded this one into a table yet, so reading it needs the right tooling.
What we add
See the allowable the Commission set against what a gas well actually produced, and follow overproduction and underproduction balances.
- Mirrored so the file is here when the Commission's own link is not.
- Documented — what it is, where it came from, and when we last fetched it.
Worth knowing before you use it
EBCDIC with packed decimals and implied decimal places — the numbers are not readable without applying the layout's scaling.
Only a rolling window is published. Anything older has to come from the historical ledger.
EZRRC does not parse this file. Upstream has not built a reader for it yet, so the catalog documents it and …
