How OFS Radar treats Texas RRC permit data.

Primary source: the Texas RRC (Railroad Commission of Texas).

Texas RRC as reported

Permits, operators, and asset signals come from public regulatory publications. Source data can be delayed, incomplete, amended, or wrong. We show what we ingested — including when GIS is missing.

Lineage stays on the event

Each permit event keeps a first-seen origin: publisher, file, checksum, URI. Re-ingest does not overwrite that snapshot. Identity is permit-seq (permit + sequence), because amendments are real.

AI drafts. The database counts.

Briefs and digest narrative may be model-written. Numeric claims are supposed to come from structured rows, with source IDs attached. Still verify material facts before a high-stakes call. We do not market “SOTA ML.”

Honest granularity

Oil production is often lease-level, not well-level. Idle and orphan lists follow the public definition we ingested. Scores and “hot” labels are OFS Radar products — not official determinations.

What we will not do

  • Scrape RRC research-query UIs at scale. Official publications first.
  • Invent coordinates when the file has none.
  • Guarantee contacts, deals, or that a permit becomes a pad tomorrow.
  • Sell this as legal, engineering, geological, or investment advice.
  • Call ourselves an official regulatory record.
