Oil & Gas Field Rules
The spacing, density and allocation rules the Commission adopted for each field.
What this is
An Oracle export describing what the Commission has decided about each field: well spacing, density, the allocation formula that divides a field's allowable among its leases, and the docket that set them.
Field rules are why two wells in the same county have different allowables.
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 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
Find the spacing and density rules governing a field before evaluating a drilling location, and see which docket adopted them.
- 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.
