You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Texas RRC Oil & Gas Well Operator Scraper Scrapes Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) oil and gas well data. Returns API number, operator, lease, field, county, district, well type, on-schedule status, and drilled depth. Covers all 13 RRC districts and over 300k wells. Built for mineral rights research, energy analytics, and landman databases. ### What it returns Each result is one well record with these fields: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `api_number` | 8-digit API well number (RRC format) | | `state` | State abbreviation (TX) | | `district` | RRC district code (01-10, 6E, 7B, 7C, 8A) | | `county` | County name | | `lease_number` | RRC oil lease number or gas well ID | | `lease_name` | Name of the lease | | `well_number` | Well number within the lease | | `field_name` | Oil or gas field name | | `operator_name` | Current operator company name | | `well_type` | Well type code (see below) | | `on_schedule` | Whether well is on proration schedule (Y/N) | | `api_depth` | Total drilled depth in feet | | `source_url` | Direct URL to the well record on the RRC EWA system | ### Input | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `districts` | array | Yes | RRC district codes to search. Valid: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 6E, 7B, 7C, 08, 8A, 09, 10 | | `counties` | array | No | Texas county FIPS codes (3-digit, e.g. 021 for Bastrop). Leave empty to iterate all oil-producing counties. | | `wellTypes` | array | Yes | Well type codes: PR (Producing), SH (Shut In), AB (Abandoned), TA (Temp Abandoned), IN (Injection), NP (No Production) | | `maxItems` | integer | Yes | Maximum number of well records to return | ### Example input ```json { "districts": ["01", "02"], "counties": ["021", "029"], "wellTypes": ["PR"], "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Example output ```json { "api_number": "4201500001", "state": "TX", "district": "01", "county": "BASTROP", "lease_number": "00001", "lease_name": "STATE BASTROP", "well_number": "1", "field_name": "CEDAR CREEK", "operator_name": "PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES USA INC", "well_type": "PR", "on_schedule": "Y", "api_depth": "6500", "source_url": "https://webapps2.rrc.texas.gov/EWA/wellboreQueryAction.do" } ``` ### Well type codes | Code | Description | |------|-------------| | PR | Producing — well currently producing oil or gas | | SH | Shut In — production suspended but well is capable | | AB | Abandoned — well permanently plugged and abandoned | | TA | Temporarily Abandoned — inactive, not yet plugged | | IN | Injection — used for enhanced recovery or disposal | | NP | No Production — drilled but never produced | ### 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. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `districts` (type: `array`): RRC district codes to scrape.
