Oil Annual Report Field Table
Annual oil production, well counts and gravity, per field.
What this is:
OGA100. One row per field per report year: total wells, producing wells, annual oil and casinghead gas, cumulative oil since discovery, formation depth, oil gravity, discovery date and the county the field is in. It is the Commission's own annual field summary — the numbers behind the printed annual report. RRC publishes it as thirteen }-delimited district parts, olf3341 to olf334d.
How it is laid out:
The Railroad Commission publishes this as Delimited text. Separated text, usually with an unusual delimiter such as a brace. We decode it into a table you can open anywhere. It has 25 columns and about 33.9K rows.
The columns you will most likely want:
-
report_yearThe calendar year the totals cover. -
districtRRC district the record belongs to, written the way RRC prints it (01-06, 6E, 7B, 7C, 08, 8A, 09, 10). -
field_nameField name. -
county_nameCounty name. -
multi_county_flagY when the field spans more than one county. -
discovery_dateField discovery date.
…and 19 more, all documented on the full page.
What we add:
Compare fields year over year on production and well count, find fields by discovery date, and get oil gravity by field without sampling wells.
- 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.
- The Commission's single-letter codes translated into words.
Worth knowing before use:
District 10 only, for now. RRC's folder holds all thirteen district parts and upstream is being extended to load them; until it does, a field outside District 10 is not missing from Texas, it is missing from here.
