Historical Ledger — Statewide Gas
Statewide monthly gas production from 1993 to the present.
What this is
LAD001. The long gas series: monthly production from 1993 onwards, statewide, in the Commission's mainframe ledger format.
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
Build a thirty-year gas production history without stitching together rolling ledger windows.
- 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, packed decimals, implied decimal places. The PDQ lease cycle table covers the same period in a format you can actually open.
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 …
