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_date -
oil_extract_date -
ingested_atWhen the upstream pipeline last wrote this row.
What we add:
Check what period a PDQ release actually covers before trusting a 'latest month' figure derived from it.
- 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.
Worth knowing before use:
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.
