Changes from a year earlier

Ranked by percentage change against the same production month a year earlier. The prior year's volume floor keeps small producers from dominating. Missing county months are excluded from comparisons.

How we count this report

Source: Texas Railroad Commission Production Data Query. Oil includes gas-well condensate; gas includes casinghead gas. Each lease is allocated to its current primary county. Statewide totals sum all Texas county aggregates, including the Commission's offshore areas. County rankings cover onshore counties with a FIPS code.

A report month must have at least 95% as many statewide filing rows as the preceding month. Exactly 95% qualifies; with no preceding rows, the ratio is unknown and the month follows the county pages' zero-denominator rule. Reports never extend past the county pages' common month cutoff. This is a filing-row check, not a volume or county-completeness guarantee.

Top tables show up to 20 counties with positive recorded volume. Equal volumes share a rank, with county slugs breaking display ties. Movers show up to 10 counties in each direction, with at least 100,000 barrels of oil or 1,000,000 Mcf of gas in the same month a year earlier. Change is 100 × (current − prior) / prior. A recorded zero can be a faller; missing months and zero prior volumes cannot.

Unreported volumes add nothing to the recorded statewide sum. That does not prove production was zero. These monthly tables differ from county-page headlines, which cover 12 calendar months. County-page monthly charts use the same aggregates. Reports refresh with the source records.
