Statewide Gas Well Database
Testing and technical data for every gas well on the statewide schedule.
What this is
WLA001K again, for the gas schedule: technical and test data for gas wells, including the G-10 back-pressure test data behind gas allowables.
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
Read the deliverability tests that set a gas well's allowable, and compare tested deliverability against reported production.
- 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
Gas wells are identified by district and gas well number, not by lease number — the gas and oil schedules use different keys for the same physical field.
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 …
