By Marsha Breazeale

This tutorial walks the reader through each step for creating and downloading a free monthly gas production report from the OCC website for every producing gas well on their property, anonymously.  Oil and gas industry land and accounting employees use reports like this as part of their job.  They compare volumes stated on checks their employer receives to the volumes reported to the OCC for those gas wells.  This is how industry companies make certain they are paid all revenues due to them.  Shouldn't you? 8,000 words.

Getting Started

Monthly gas production volumes by well name can be downloaded from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission Oil and Gas Records Database.  The downloadable report generated by the OCC website can be created based a broad or a narrow set of data set as entered by the user, the landowner.  The more general the data entered for some reports, the larger the report will be, as will be shown.

Using Google Chrome internet browser, go to www.occeweb.com.

Hover over the Industry tab at the top of the home page and slide down to Oil and Gas.  Slide over and down.  Select Databases.

The page that comes up will contain information and instructions necessary to follow if you are a first-time user of the OCC website.

After reading and following the instructions given at the top of the Oil and Gas Databases page, scroll down to the underlined title, Well Browse Database and click on it.  It is a hot link.  It will open a data entry screen where you will enter the criteria for which you want a report.  The Basic Well Information report created here will provide a comprehensive list of wells producing from, or involving, your property.

Well Browse Database

When the page opens , you will see a data entry portal (form) to find basic information about your well or to learn what wells currently exist inside the Section-Township-Range and County where your land is located.

The search using the data you entered will give a downloadable report (list of wells) that can be downloaded into an Excel spreadsheet so it can then be filtered and sorted according to your needs.  To learn to do this, let’s use an example to walk through it.

Say you own mineral rights in Section 27, Township 10 North, Range 7 West, in Grady County, but you have never been paid royalties, so you don’t know a well name.  You need to find out if any wells have been drilled on or near your tract inside Section 27 that might be producing.

In the data entry portal, enter the legal description as shown here.  The Section, Township and Range can be found in the deed, or perhaps in the Final Order signed by the court in a probate proceeding (if you inherited this property but don’t have a copy of the original deed):

Click the Search button at the bottom of the blue screen.

This is the result you will see (as of July, 2019):
