What this is

One of the sixteen delimited tables inside the monthly Production Data Query dump. RRC publishes the dump as a single archive; EZRRC publishes each table inside it separately so you can take the one you need instead of a 3.6 GB zip.

Production, allowable, ending balance and total disposition rolled up to the county and month.

How it is laid out

The Railroad Commission publishes this as CSV. Comma-separated text. We decode it into a table you can open anywhere. It has 25 columns and about 146.2K rows.

  • cycle_year Production cycle year, four digits.
  • cycle_month Production cycle month, two digits.

  • cnty_oil_prod_vol The amount of oil in BBL produced by county as reported by the operator on a production report. …

…and 19 more, all documented on the full page.

What we add

Chart county production without aggregating 64 million lease rows yourself.

  • 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.

A lease number is only unique with the oil/gas code and the district in it. Oil lease …
