R-3 Gas Processing Plants (EBCDIC, retired)
Retired on 2025-08-25 and replaced by the JSON dataload.
What this is
GRA001, the original EBCDIC R-3 extract. RRC retired it on 2025-08-25 and now publishes the same reporting as JSON.
It is catalogued here because the historical series only exists in this format.
How it is laid out
The Railroad Commission publishes this as EBCDIC (IBM cp037). IBM mainframe encoding (cp037). Opening it as text gives you nonsense; it has to be transcoded first. We mirror the Commission's file exactly as they published it, byte for byte. We have not decoded this one into a table yet, so reading it needs the right tooling.
What we add
Recover gas plant reporting from before the JSON release began.
- Mirrored so the file is here when the Commission's own link is not.
- Documented — what it is, where it came from, and when we last fetched it.
Worth knowing before you use it
Retired. RRC no longer refreshes it, so anything here is frozen at 2025-08-25.
EZRRC does not parse this file. Upstream has not built a reader for it yet, so the catalog documents it and links to the Commission's own copy rather than pretending to serve rows it does not have.
