Texas oil and gas data

Where this comes from

Well records come from Texas Railroad Commission (RRC). Facility and emissions layers, where present, come from EPA programs including GHGRP, NEI and ECHO, and from PHMSA for pipeline incidents. Atlas normalises these into one schema and joins them on the well API number.

Regulatory data has limits worth knowing. It does not capture failure-mode emissions, it can carry operator reporting errors, and it lags current conditions. Every figure above is a count of what the agency published, not an independent measurement.

Analysis

• RRC GIS Viewer: What the Texas Railroad Commission Maps The RRC GIS Viewer maps Texas oil and gas in 22 layers, but production, permits, and completions are not among them. What the Railroad Commission map shows.
• Oil Field Map: How to Find Any Named Field's Wells An oil field is one state agency's label, not a national object. What a field name means in the well records, and how to map one in Texas, Colorado, or Wyoming.
• RRC Wellbore Query: How to Find Any Texas Well Record How to use the RRC Wellbore Query to find any Texas well by API, operator, or lease, plus why production sits in a separate lease-level query.
• UIC Wells: What the Six Classes Mean and Where to Find Them What a UIC well is, how EPA's six injection well classes differ, why Class II dominates the count, and how to find UIC well records by state.
• Natural Gas Pipeline Map: Lines, Operators, and Safety A natural gas pipeline map with gathering versus transmission lines, operator mileage, and PHMSA safety records, shown with the Texas network on Atlas.
• Southern Permian Oil Jumped 14% in 2024: Emissions Impact Southern Permian oil (RRC District 7C) jumped 14% to 186M barrels in 2024. Compliance and ops implications for associated gas and methane intensity.
