Projection File

Some GIS Software packages require that the GIS Layer have a predefined coordinate system.

Each .shp file includes an associated.prj file in the dataset. If you do not want the layer to be projected, simply delete the .prj file associated with the layer.

The projection file is also available by right clicking on the link below and saving it to a file:

• rrc_latlong.prj

• Digital map data:
• Base Map, Wells, Surveys & Pipelines layers
• Geographic Coordinates; Latitude/Longitude Decimal Degrees, NAD 27
• Export Format
• API Data - ASCII data file and dBase (.dbf) file containing the API number, survey name, well number, lease name, lease ID number, completion date, and plug date.

The Historical Ledger provides monthly oil and gas production by lease for the period January 1993 to 27 months prior to the present date. The data is incremented monthly as the Oil and Gas Roll process "rolls off" selected data from the 26-month Oil and Gas systems such as the Production database above. The Historical Ledger database is updated daily because of Monthly Production Report (Form PR) received relating to the Historical Ledger time period.

This data set contains production from 1993 to current.
