Export data

Almost everything you can see in Maps, you can download. Pick by what you want: You need to be signed in to export from the data tables and from cards. Rows in the data tables open their cards with a free account; opening a card from the map needs a paid plan. Valuation exports also depend on your access.

​

Export one lease

A lease that stopped producing before 1993 has no Export.

​

Production

Set the Production window at the top of the menu first, if you don’t want every month.

​

Wells

The first time you open Wells, QuickScout reads the lease’s wells. On a big lease the options stay greyed out for a moment and show how far along it is (Reading the lease’s wells — 120 of 400). Historic wells are left out of ASCII4, OWX and Copy API numbers, because their API codes are shared between wells. The confirmation line tells you how many were left out. Wells CSV includes every bore. The lease’s Production block has two more downloads at its foot: Export CSV and Save PNG. See From a card’s chart.

​

By well

The lease’s production split between its wells is an estimate, because Texas reports production by lease. To download it, Expand the lease card’s Production block, choose By well, then Export → By well CSV · monthly (estimate). The file has every well’s estimated production, month by month. See By well.

​

Valuation and cash flow

Full valuation, in the lease card’s Valuation & EUR block, opens the lease’s full valuation report. Export, at the top of the report, has: Export is greyed out until the report has loaded. The two CSVs stay greyed out when the lease has no production forecast (CSV needs a production forecast; this lease has none.). The PDF still works. In the report’s Wells section, Download all N wells (CSV) has every wellbore on the lease.

​

Export from the data tables

Whichever format you pick, the file matches what the table lists. If a filter can’t be passed along to an industry format (a search, for example), QuickScout sends the exact list of wells instead, and says so. You never get more than the table showed.

​

Wells tab

There’s no limit on how many wells a file holds. A big ASCII4, OWX or DRI file is written in batches and put together as one file, while the footer counts the batches off; Cancel stops it, and nothing is saved. OWX takes longest: thousands of wells take several minutes. If the server can’t write a well even on its own, the file leaves it out, and the footer names it. OWX and DRI files leave out historic wells, whose API codes are shared.

​

Leases tab

There’s no limit on how many leases, either. The production is read in batches, and the footer counts them off (Reading production — 300 of 1,204 leases), with Cancel.

​

Operators and Fields tabs

These tabs export Table CSV — the rows on screen: one row per operator, or per field, with the columns you have showing. There’s no limit. For the leases or wells behind them, open a row’s card and click Show leases or Show wells. They open in a tab of their own, where the Leases or Wells formats are ready. See An operator’s, a field’s or a county’s wells and leases.

​

P-4, Frac, Pads and Rigs

These tabs export Table CSV — the rows on screen. On P-4, Rows chooses whether the file has a row per Transfers event or per Filings.

​

Shortcuts for ticked rows

Tick rows and a bar opens under the rows, just above the table’s footer. It has the exports you’ll use most, and copies the rows’ IDs: Copied IDs go on your clipboard one per line. Clear, at the end of the bar, unticks everything. On Wells, Leases, Operators and Fields, the bar also has Add to compare; see Compare. You can also tick rows from a chart: drag across a scatter, or click a bar.

​

Export an area or a county

The Selected area card and every county’s card have Export. It writes what you pick about the area or the county as files for your own software, all in one zip: its wells, their production, the land grid, its leases, its outline and its tables. The rows, under WELLS, PRODUCTION, LAND and TABLES: What goes in follows the card. A narrowed selection exports the wells you narrowed it to, and their leases. The land grid and the outline are always the whole area’s. In a county, a lease that crosses the county line is exported whole, so its leases can add up to more than the county’s own figures on its card.

​

While it’s written

• Each format you pressed shows how it’s going: a tick when its file is written, a spinner while it’s being written, a cross if it failed. The foot counts off the work, such as Writing OWX — 3,000 of 24,512 wells · file 3 of 5, with Cancel.
• You can close the Export card, or the area’s card, and keep working. A row at the bottom of the map says Exporting ‹name› and how far along it is. Open brings the Export card back, and Cancel stops the export.
• One export runs at a time. Another Export card says so while one is running, with Cancel it.
• When it’s done, the zip downloads, and the foot reads Saved with its name and size. Save again saves it once more, in case your browser didn’t finish the download. Done closes the card.
• If a file can’t be written, the export stops and says which file and why, such as Monthly production (CSV) could not be written. The files written so far are kept, and Retry carries on from the file that failed.
• A record the server can’t write, even on its own, is left out of that file. The foot names how many, and the README lists them.
• An export of a gigabyte or more asks once more before it starts: Download anyway, or Back. A zip can hold up to 4 GB; past that, the export says so, and you drop a format or two (OWX and the CSVs are the largest) and download again.

OWX takes longest: a county’s thousands of wells take several minutes.

​

What’s in the zip

• The zip is named for the area or the county and the day, such as midland-county-2026-10-24.zip. If you pick just one file, and it isn’t a shapefile, it downloads on its own instead.
• README.txt says what each file holds and where it came from, how the area was drawn or narrowed, which coordinates each file uses, and what the short field names in the shapefiles mean.
• Shapefiles are NAD27, the datum the RRC files well spots and the land survey in, and each has its .prj. KML is WGS84, for Google Earth. The wells CSV has the app’s WGS84 coordinates and NAD27 ones beside them. ASCII4 and DRI carry the RRC’s NAD27 points as filed, and OWX is WGS84.
• NAD27 and WGS84 positions of the same point are 36 to 44 m apart in West Texas, so tell your software which datum each file is in.
• ASCII4 and OWX carry the RRC’s wells. Your My Wells edits are in the shapefile and the CSV. The card reminds you when you press either one.
• Wells from old maps have no API number, so they’re in the shapefile and the CSV only. With ASCII4 or OWX pressed, the card says how many there are.

​

From a card’s chart

Open a lease, operator, field, county, P-4 or frac card, or the card of an area you selected. Its Production block has two buttons at its foot:

• Export CSV: one row per month, with month, oil_bbl, gas_mcf, water_bbl, reported and basis. basis says whether the month is the lease’s reported figure or an allocated estimate. The file has every month, whichever way the chart is set to show them.
• Save PNG: the chart as you see it.

A well’s card has no production chart. For a well’s numbers, export its lease’s production, or print its well report. On an injection well’s card, Export CSV at the foot of its Volume & pressure block has the monthly injected volumes and pressures: month, inj_bbl, inj_mcf, avg_inj_pressure_psi and max_inj_pressure_psi.

​

Export an operator, a field or a county

​

The production chart

An operator’s, a field’s and a county’s card each have a Production block, with the same Export CSV and Save PNG at its foot as a lease’s. See From a card’s chart. To open a county’s card, click the place control (📍) at the top centre of the map, then View county. You can also click the county on a well’s or a lease’s card. See Counties.

​

An operator’s, a field’s or a county’s wells and leases

Open the operator’s, the field’s or the county’s card and click Show wells. Every one of its wells opens in a tab of its own, the Record tab. Click Export, at the top right of the tables, for the same formats as the Wells tab.

• Show leases opens the record’s leases instead, with the Leases tab formats, including Production CSV — a row per lease-month and DRI v2.4 production (.dri). Rows switches between the two.
• The tab starts on the whole record. If you set Scope to In view, the export carries only what’s in view.
• Your own Wells and Leases tabs and their filters stay as they are, and the card stays open.

Searching for an operator, field or lease number opens the same tab with its wells. See Search by number.

​

Well documents

On a well’s card, the Filings & documents block lists the well’s permits, plats, completions and surveys. A permit’s card shows it from the start. On other wells it’s off at first: add it from Blocks, or click More → Documents in the well’s popup, which opens the card with the block showing.

• When the well has more than one kind of document, chips filter the list, each with a count: All, Permit, Completion and Surveys.
• Each row shows the Form, the Document, its Date and Size. Click a document to open it in a new tab, where you can save it.
• A Map column appears when one of the well’s plats can be laid over the map. See W-1 plats on the map.

You can also right-click a well on the map: its Documents list the W-1 files of its permit, each with Download. For the documents of every well in an area, select the area and add the Documents block to its card from Blocks.

​

Well logs

Logs open in the Log tab beside the map. When a log opens in its drawer instead, Open log opens the original file, a scan or a LAS file, in a new browser tab, where you can save it. Open the scan does the same for a log’s scanned copy. See Well logs on the map.

​

Choose the months

The production exports have a Production window at the top of the menu:

• All history, Last 12 months or Last 5 years.
• Or set your own range with From and To.

In a DRI file, months before the start aren’t lost. They’re rolled into each lease’s prior-production totals, so the lease’s cumulative still adds up. A Production CSV carries only the months in the window.

​

What the files contain

CSV files are made to open cleanly in Excel, a database or a GIS:

• The header row uses column keys, such as cum_oil_bbl, not the on-screen labels.
• Numbers are plain: 1234, not 1,234. A blank cell means there’s no value.
• When a Wells CSV has a cumulative in it, cum_basis comes with it, even if you’ve hidden that column. It says how the per-well figure was worked out. The RRC reports oil by lease, so many per-well cumulatives are allocated.
• The file name says what’s inside: the table, the place you’re looking at, the date, and the table’s row count. For example, wells-midland-county-2026-09-19-3885-rows.csv. The count is the whole view’s, even when you exported ticked rows. A Production CSV’s count is its monthly rows.

Production CSV has these columns: district_name, lease_no, lease_name, month, oil_bbl, gas_mcf, wells, lateral_ft and months_online. GeoGraphix ASCII4 (.WB4), OpenWorks OWX (.ASC) and DRI v2.4 production (.dri) are import files for other software. Load them with that program’s own import tool.
