PDQ District Production by Cycle
District-level monthly production totals.
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.
Oil, gas, condensate and casinghead gas production summed to the RRC district and month — the grain the Commission's own published statistics use.
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 10 columns and about 5.3K rows.
The columns you will most likely want:
-
district_noRRC's INTERNAL district number, 01 to 14 plus 20 for statewide. This is not the district name the … -
cycle_yearProduction cycle year, four digits. -
cycle_monthProduction cycle month, two digits. -
cycle_year_monthProduction cycle as YYYYMM. This is the column to filter a date range on. -
district_nameRRC district as the industry writes it, e.g. 7B, 8A, 6E. -
dist_oil_prod_volThe amount of oil in BBL produced by district as reported by the operator on a production report.
…and 4 more, all documented on the full page.
What we add
Reproduce RRC's headline district production numbers, and compare districts over time on a consistent basis.
- 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.
Worth knowing before you use it
A lease number is only unique with the oil/gas code and the district in it. Oil lease 027587 in District 08 and gas lease 027587 in District 08 are different leases; so is oil lease 027587 in District 09.
district_no here is RRC's INTERNAL district numbering (01-14, 20), not the designation the industry prints. Internal …
