PDQ District Production by Cycle
Queryable CSV
District-level monthly production totals.

Free. You will be asked to confirm an email address before the files are built — that is the only gate, and it is there so we can tell you when a large export is ready.
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.
Oil, gas, condensate and casinghead gas production summed to the RRC district and month — the grain the Commission's own published statistics use.
What you can do with it
Reproduce RRC's headline district production numbers, and compare districts over time on a consistent basis.
Gotchas
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.
RRC district (internal number) 14 values
Read by district_no
RRC's internal sequential district numbering, 01 to 14 plus 20 for statewide. The production data, the UIC database and the high-cost gas certifications all use this. 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. There is no internal 12.

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 District Production by Cycle joins to PDQ District Directory on District number — many rows here share a single row there.
totals the district
The internal district number resolved to the designation the Commission actually prints. Internal 11 is District 8A.
