Production disposition by month
This data is available from January 2003 through the most recently available month, which is usually 3-4 months prior to the current month. The historical dataset contains data from January 2003 through December 2015 and is not updated. The dataset starting with January 2015 is updated monthly.
This dataset contains monthly information on the disposition of production for each product (oil and gas) produced. The product could have been:
- directly removed/sold
- directly used (injected)
- moved off the lease
- transferred to a different facility
- flared, spilled and/or lost
- lost through evaporation/shrinkage

Scope
This dataset includes monthly oil and gas production for U.S. federal lands, federal waters, and Native American lands, but not privately owned minerals or U.S. state minerals. Federal data is available by location; Native American data is only available at the national level to protect personally identifiable information.
The Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) manages this dataset, collecting production disposition data for oil and gas on Form ONRR-4054-B (Oil and Gas Operations Report, Part B).
Data is available from January 2003 through the most recently available month, usually 3-4 months prior to the current month. The historical portion (January 2003–December 2015) is static and not updated; data from January 2015 onward is updated monthly.
The product could have been:
- directly removed/sold
- directly used (injected)
- moved off the lease
- transferred to a different facility
- flared, spilled and/or lost
- lost through evaporation/shrinkage
About the data
A note about “mixed exploratory” versus “federal” production categories. To build our data visualizations, production was combined from two types of jurisdictions: “federal” and “mixed exploratory.”
- Federal is production from federal onshore and offshore minerals.
- Mixed Exploratory is a temporary jurisdictional unit. It is used until production is proven on that location. It comprises federal and/or Native American minerals, with other mineral ownership. Utilizing “mixed exploratory” helps drilling and production proceed in the most efficient and economical manner.
Data publication
We update this production data every month, but final production numbers aren't available for 3-4 months. For example, the most recent production data for a file updated in November will be from July or August.
