Research Queries

Research Queries

The links in the boxes allow users to research oil & gas production, drilling permits, well records, gas utility and pipeline information, surface coal/lignite mining permit information and other related queries.

Note: The online research queries are intended for use by individuals needing specific information from the Railroad Commission of Texas. The use of automated tools to retrieve volumes of data can cause severe degradation of Railroad Commission of Texas systems. If the query system detects that data is being retrieved using an automated tool, the Railroad Commission of Texas will end the session for that user.

 

Requirements for Accessing Online Research Queries

The Railroad Commission of Texas recommends accessing the online research queries using a broadband Internet connection (Cable Modem, DSL, Fiber, Wireless, Satellite are common examples). Slow connections may work, but performance may not be desirable.
