I have been watching the Railroad Commission web site to see if any new permitted locations have been granted, and I still have not seen any production numbers on their 347-33215, although it was reported that they actually started production back in June.

 

How long does it take for the Railroad Commission web site to be updated?  Is the delay in reporting by the drilling companies, or is there a delay at the Commission in doing the updates?

 

Thanks to anybody that has any info.

Mr. Barnum, June is the first month of production with 495,729 mcf reported.

jffreel - Thank-you so much!

 

I know you have much better sources than the RRC site - what seems to be the delay in their getting the info up on their site, that you seem to have at your fingertips??

I don't have any sources other than the RRC and Rig Data, Mr. Barnum, but I've spent considerable time learning to use the RRC systems.  I also maintain a data set on Haynesville wells so I have the well info in several spreadsheets on my computer .

On the RRC site, I go to the map which shows the well in which I am interested, then I set the cursor to "identify wells", and then move the cursor to the well which I want info about.  When I do that on 347-33215, it brings up the GIS wellbore attributes - which are still showing this as only a permitted location, and when I click on the Well Logs link, it comes back and says none.  On the Operator/Wellbore/PDQ link - it still shows no completion data.  Those are the reasons I was wondering how quickly they update that part of their web site. 

Are there other portions of the web site which I have not yet discovered which have more current info??

I am really kind of new at this, but am willing to put in the time to explore how the system works.

Thanks again.

Mr. Barnum, there are several paths to the same data on RRC and that one is about the last one to get updated, unfortunately.

Bookmark this page: http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/data/online/index.php

It has links to all of the query pages available to the public on RRC.  All of the well completions in this district are being reported on the new digital system and you can search for them using the "Oil & Gas Completion Query".  All you need is the well API (leave out the hyphen) or you can search by county.

For production, use the "Production Reports Query (Form PR).  You should use the Production by Lease query and set the well type to "Pending" for new wells.  Select District 6, type in the well API # (no hyphen) or the well status # (permit #) and set the first date far enough back to pick up the first production month.

If the well has a Lease ID #, use it and set the well type to Gas.

If you lose that link you can find both of those query forms on the RRC of TX. Help Center:

jffreel - thank you so much, I did not realize that the RRC's information was actually stored in a bunch of separate non-linked data bases - dumb me, I thought it was all one big logical database, to which the various reports, merely used a different pointer systems.

Thanks again for the links and info.

Actually, I think it's a work in progress that may one day evolve into one big data center where you can start anywhere and end up where you need to be... but it is sure not that way at the moment.  You have to figure out what you want and then look for the most logical place to begin.  Well records prior to about 2009 are still found on the old Neubus  system.  I don't know if they will ever be converted to the digital system either. That might be asking too much.  If you get stuck, give me a shout.

Jffreel, thank-you so much for your kind offer of assistance if I get stuck (your message of Friday 8/12) - it has taken me a bit of time, but, I seem to be getting the hang of the different data bases - what got me confused to start with is they all sort on different identifiers for the same well or, call a specific identifiers different things on different reports - Like the RCC Identifier (six digit all numeric) on the PR forms, which is called the Drilling Permit Number on the Oil and Gas Completions search system.  But, with time and not being afraid to play around with it, I seem to be getting the hang of it.  Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction.
