P-5 Organization (ASCII)
Every organization with an RRC operator number: name, status, type and address.
What this is
ORA001. The operator directory — 71,796 organizations with their P-5 number, organization name, P-5 status, organization type, mailing address, phone, the date the organization was created and the date it went inactive.

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 13 columns and about 78.2K rows.
The columns you will most likely want:
-
idThe RRC P-5 operator number. This is the join key that turns an anonymous permit, lease or completion … -
nameOrganization name exactly as filed on Form P-5, 32 characters. -
p5_statusWhether the organization's P-5 is active, inactive, delinquent or annotated. -
org_typeLegal form of the organization: corporation, partnership, trust and so on. -
address1First line of the P-5 master mailing address. -
address2Second line of the P-5 master mailing address.
…and 7 more, all documented on the full page.
What we add
Turn an operator number into a company, an address and a regulatory status — the join that makes every other dataset in the catalog readable.
Find every organization whose P-5 has lapsed, count operators by organisation type, and map the industry by mailing address.

Worth knowing before you use it
The P-5 status is a single letter and it matters: A is active, I inactive, D delinquent. Most of the 71,796 organizations on file are inactive — the file is a historical register, not a list of operating companies.
The operator number is the join key, not the name. Names change, get re-registered and are …
