TXRRC_data_harvest
Changes
20210303 - TXRCC have redesigned the website and the locations of the datafiles. We are working to make sure the connections are correct. The file conversion looks to not be affected at this time.
About
TXRRC_data_harvest is a set of tools for downloading and organizing oil and gas well data from the Texas Railroad Commission.
This project is currently in an alpha development stage. It is definitely a work in progress and will take a bit to get fully organized and usable, so please bear with us.
