PDQ Cycle Date Range
One row saying which production cycles this PDQ release covers.
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.
A single row: the oldest production cycle, the newest production cycle, the newest schedule cycle, and the dates the gas and oil extracts were taken.

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 6 columns and about 1 rows.
The columns you will most likely want:
-
oldest_prod_cycle_year_monthOldest production cycle present in this PDQ release, YYYYMM. -
newest_prod_cycle_year_monthNewest production cycle present in this PDQ release, YYYYMM. -
newest_sched_cycle_year_monthNewest schedule cycle present in this PDQ release, YYYYMM. -
gas_extract_dateThe current date the gas data is extracted from the database. -
oil_extract_dateThe current date the oil data is extracted from the database. -

What we add
Check what period a PDQ release actually covers before trusting a 'latest month' figure derived from it.

- Filterable before you download, so you can take one county instead of the whole state.
Worth knowing before you use it
The newest production cycle is typically two to three months behind today. Texas production data is never current — operators have filing deadlines and amend for months afterwards.
