PDQ County Lease Production by Cycle
Queryable CSV
Lease production split by county, for leases that cross a county line.

What this is
One of the sixteen delimited tables inside the monthly Production Data Query dump. RRC publishes the dump as a single archive; EZRRC publishes each table inside it separately so you can take the one you need instead of a 3.6 GB zip.
64 million rows. The same lease-month production as the lease cycle table, but allocated to counties — because a Texas lease can straddle a county boundary and the Commission apportions its production.
What you can do with it
Produce county-level production totals that are actually correct for multi-county leases, which a naive lease-to-county join gets wrong.
Compare county production over time without double counting.
Gotchas
Summing this table by lease double counts a multi-county lease. Use the lease cycle table for lease totals and this one for county totals.
A lease number is only unique with the oil/gas code and the district in it. Oil lease 027587 in District 08 and gas lease 027587 in District 08 are different leases; so is oil lease 027587 in District 09.
district_no here is RRC's INTERNAL district numbering (01-14, 20), not the designation the industry prints. Internal 07 is District 6E, 08 is 7B, 09 is 7C, 10 is District 08, 11 is 8A, 13 is 09 and 14 is District 10. The district directory is the lookup; reading the number as a label is wrong.
Volumes are whole numbers in the reporting unit — barrels for liquids, MCF for gas. There are no implied decimals here, unlike the EBCDIC ledgers.
Cycle year and cycle month are separate columns; cycle_year_month is the two of them concatenated as YYYYMM and is the cheapest thing to range on.
Production is reported by lease, not by well. A lease can be one well or two hundred.

Code lookups used here
Every coded column in this dataset resolves to a real lookup table, so
a well code of G can be read as what it actually means.
Texas county code 277 values
Read by county_no
The three-digit county code RRC uses, which is also the county's FIPS code. `canonical_value` carries the full five-digit state plus county FIPS, so a county joins straight to Census geography. There are 254 Texas counties and 277 codes; the extras are offshore areas and administrative entries.

Oil or gas schedule 2 values
Read by oil_gas_code
Which schedule a lease is carried on. This is not decoration: an oil lease number and a gas lease number can be the same digits and mean different leases, so a lease key is only unique with this code and the district in it.
| Code | Means |
|---|---|
O |
Oil Carried on the oil proration schedule; lease numbers are oil lease numbers. |
G |
Gas Carried on the gas proration schedule; lease numbers are gas well IDs. |

What this joins to
The Railroad Commission never states these keys anywhere in the files. They are the reason the data is hard to use, so here they are with the exact columns on both sides.
PDQ County Lease Production by Cycle joins to PDQ Lease Production by Cycle on Oil gas code and District number and Lease number and Cycle year month — many rows here share a single row there.
is the county split of
A lease that crosses a county line has its production apportioned between counties. Summing the county split by lease double counts; use the lease cycle table for lease totals.
pdq-county-lease-cycle.oil_gas_code = pdq-lease-cycle.oil_gas_code AND pdq-county-lease-cycle.district_no = pdq-lease-cycle.district_no AND pdq-county-lease-cycle.lease_no = pdq-lease-cycle.lease_no AND pdq-county-lease-cycle.cycle_year_month = pdq-lease-cycle.cycle_year_month
PDQ County Lease Production by Cycle joins to PDQ County Directory on County number — many rows here share a single row there.
