Datasets
What sells is not the snapshot, it is the stream. Reports arrive every week; a file downloaded today is out of date by the month's end.
The pages of this site are free and will stay free : an official fact belongs to no one. What is sold here is the compilation work — extracting the Texas well report database, reconciling it, dating it, and delivering it in a usable form.
⚠️ What we add, and what we merely copy
The state's file is free and you can download it yourself — 151 MB of pipe-delimited text in eighteen tables. What you cannot download is the reconciliation. Every fill rate below is measured on the file we hold, and a ⚠️ marks a column the source does not contain.
| Field | Description | Filled |
|---|---|---|
tracking_number | The well report tracking number — the key | 100.0 % |
county / grid | County and state well grid cell | 100.0 % |
purpose | What the well was drilled for | 100.0 % |
drilled_depth | ⚠️ ⚠️ Bottom of the driller's log — the source has no depth column; we take it from the deepest logged layer | 88.3 % |
water_level | Depth at which water was struck | 53.2 % |
yield_gpm | Tested yield, with implausible values flagged | 41.6 % |
firm | ⚠️ ⚠️ Reconciled firm name — 9,323 spellings collapsed to 4,784 firms | 99.3 % |
rock_log | ⚠️ ⚠️ 5,345,462 layers, joined to the well and banded by depth | 99.9 % |
plugged | Plugging report number where the well has been plugged | 17.2 % |
no owner data | ⚠️ ⚠️ Owner name, owner address, well address and coordinates are deliberately absent — see the privacy page | 0.0 % |
The 4 fields marked ⚠️ do not exist in the source : we add them — a join, a normalisation, or a reconstructed history. That is the part a buyer cannot reproduce by downloading the official file.
What it costs
- Change feed — USD 300 / monthOr USD 3 000 a year. At every collection, what came in, went out or changed since the previous one. This is the part that does not age.
- One slice — USD 90 / monthThe feed restricted to a single county, for those who do not need the rest.
- Full snapshot — USD 4 000, onceThe state of the register on the day of delivery, every field included. Listed last on purpose : a snapshot ages.
