Data source

Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) Enhanced Web Access (EWA) system — the official public portal for Texas oil and gas well information. Updated by operators per RRC reporting requirements.

Direct link: https://webapps2.rrc.texas.gov/EWA/

Use cases

  • Mineral rights research — identify operators and production status for specific tracts
  • Energy analytics — enumerate wells by district, field, or operator
  • Landman databases — build or refresh lease/operator records across all 13 RRC districts
  • Regulatory monitoring — track well status changes (producing to abandoned, etc.)

Notes

  • RRC EWA returns up to 1,000 results per query. The actor searches by district x county x well type to stay within this limit.
  • County codes follow the Texas FIPS 3-digit format. If counties is empty, the actor iterates all oil and gas producing counties in each requested district.
  • The actor respects rate limits with 300 ms delays between requests to avoid overloading the RRC system.
