Key to Monthly Oil and Gas Production Volume Reports

REG ID = abbreviation for "REGISTRANT'S IDENTIFICATION" which stands for the identification number assigned to the party who initially files (each month) the tax returns from which the displayed data comprising any particular record is derived.

YR = the calendar year in which the hydrocarbons reportedly got sold on either the interstate or the intra-state market or got consumed outside of those commercial markets.

MONTH = the particular month in which, again, the produced hydrocarbons got reported as having been sold on either the interstate or the intra-state market or as having been consumed outside of those commercial markets.

CNTY# = the county number for the county in which the lease is located. See List of Counties for the names of the counties corresponding to the county number.

LEASE WELL NAME = the name of the lease and/or well number.

LIC# = the unique number of the KCC Operator's License held by the party being identified as the lease operator; doesn't always constitute a valid, reliable ID parameter.

GROSS = the volume of hydrocarbons (either crude oil or natural gas or condensate) that is reported as having been severed from the lease and upon which the lease operator got compensated by the purchaser/consumer; always displayed in units of API barrels in the case of crude oil and/or condensate and Mcf's @ 60 F & either 14.73 or 14.65 psia in the case of natural gas.

REMIT = Abbreviation for "REMITTANCE" meaning the actual gross amount of Severance Tax paid to Dept. of Revenue by either the Purchaser or the Operator (without any corrective adjustment) upon the reported total commercial value of the produced crude oil or natural gas; key may be a zero amount if that particular lease/well has been claimed as either temporarily or permanently exempt from taxation. On the KCC's Production Summary, no figures will ever be displayed under this column heading because of a prohibition against such information being open to public examination.

LEASE WELL # = Mineral Tax Bureau's six-digit identification number meant to be unique to the particular well/lease to which it is initially assigned; however, a well/lease can and often does possess more than one "LEASE WELL #". A well or lease that makes both crude oil and natural gas will have at least two such code numbers one for reporting of the oil sales and one for the reporting of the natural gas sales. Numbers to designate a particular well's/lease's oil sales all begin with "1" while all numbers intended to designate a particular well’s/lease’s natural gas sales all begin with "2".

NAME OF PURCHASER = identification of the party who takes custody of the produced hydrocarbon at some point after the production has left the lease.

ISS. DATE = the particular date on which the Department of Revenue's unique Lease Code number got assigned to that volume record.

LEGAL = the reported Section-Township-Range corresponding to either the location of the lease that produced the reported volume or to a sales/collection point from which the reported volume of oil/natural gas was picked up or was allowed to enter a larger-diameter pipeline which involved a corresponding custody-transfer.

# WELLS = the known number of total active wells on the particular lease at the time of creating the lease record in the Mineral Tax Bureau's database.

Zone = the name of the geologic formation from which the reported oil and/or gas got produced.

P/O = "Purchaser/Operator", it's supposed to denote from which party the tax return that provided the volume being downloaded to us came.

R/A = "Remittance/Adjustment", meaning that the listed volume is either the first-time reported volume from that particular well/lease for that month (Remittance) or it's a repetition of an earlier reported volume (Adjustment) and is being carried on that production report because the DOR people had to make some kind of money-related adjustment that didn't affect the physical amount of oil or gas or it's an addition to or a subtraction from a previously reported volume that turned out to be incorrect.
