Texas oil & gas data

The Railroad Commission of Texas publishes drilling permits every day and production by lease every month, with wells, completions, operators, fields, formation tops, and injection beside them; TexNet locates the earthquakes. Petrora loads each file as filed, joins them on API number, operator number, and lease, and serves them as pages, an API, and connector tools.

About this data

Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC). Permits daily; production monthly, two to three months behind. Counts are rows on file; volumes are sums of what operators filed, over the twelve months ending in the last month whose filings are in. Nothing is estimated.
