Get the data
No download is available for this dataset yet. It is catalogued here so the record layout and code lookups are at least written down.
What this is
GSA020K. The gas proration ledger: for each gas well ID, twelve months of production and fourteen months of allowable, plus the balances the Commission carries forward.
RRC splits it into three files by district group — districts 1-3, districts 4-6 and 6E, and districts 7B through 10 — and publishes them as separate rows on its downloads page. They share one record layout and one MFT folder, so EZRRC catalogues them as one dataset.
What you can do with it
See the allowable the Commission set against what a gas well actually produced, and follow overproduction and underproduction balances.
Gotchas
EBCDIC with packed decimals and implied decimal places — the numbers are not readable without applying the layout's scaling.
Only a rolling window is published. Anything older has to come from the historical ledger.
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.
Record layout
0 columns.
We have not transcribed the record layout for this dataset yet. The RRC manual linked under “Where this comes from” is the authoritative description in the meantime.
