RRC-UIC Bottom Hole Pressure Test Results: Well Integrity Reports

RRC-UIC Bottom Hole Pressure Test Results is an inventory of bottom-hole pressure (BHP) reports submitted to the Underground Injection Control (UIC) program, likely managed by the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC). The dataset contains records of pressure tests conducted on wells, including test results, dates, and formation details. It is available on multiple open data platforms, including Socrata and Data.gov, indicating its public regulatory nature.

Use Cases

• Monitoring regulatory compliance for injection wells using UIC_NO and REPORT_RECEIVED_DATE.
• Analyzing reservoir pressure trends over time using BHP_PSIA and REPORT_CONDUCTED_DATE.
• Assessing well test procedures and sequences using TEST_SEQUENCE_NO and TEST_DEPTH_FT.
• Correlating pressure gradients with specific geological formations using GRADIENT_PSI_FT and TESTED_FORMATION.

Strengths

• Dataset is hosted on multiple public platforms (Socrata, Data.gov), suggesting official status and accessibility.
• Columns provide specific technical measurements (e.g., BHP_PSIA, GRADIENT_PSI_FT) for quantitative analysis.
• One source indicates a recent update scheduled for May 15, 2026, implying planned maintenance.

Limitations

• Key metadata conflicts: row counts, file sizes, and licenses are listed as 'unknown', 'None', or are missing across all sources.
• The Data.gov source lacks column information, reducing discoverability of its specific structure.
• The provenance and authoritative source (e.g., specific RRC office) is not explicitly stated in the provided metadata.
