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
OLA001K. The last twenty-six months of W-10 status reports — the periodic test filing that keeps an oil well's allowable current.
What you can do with it
Track how a well's tested potential has moved over the last two years, and find wells whose W-10 is overdue.
Gotchas
The window rolls. A test that was in last month's file may not be in this month's, so history has to be accumulated by keeping snapshots.
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.
