Lately I browsed the production data from Rail Road Commission of Texas at;

http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/divisions/og/statistics/production/ogismcon.html

What came as a surprise to me was to see that nat gas production in Texas (producing approx. 30 % of the US nat gas) has declined approximately 13 % through 2005, and looks as it fell of the cliff as of Nov 2005.

The nat gas production seemed to recover from the hurricane related shutdowns through Oct 2005, but as of Dec 2005 it is down approx. 2 Gcf/d (or Bcf/d) at 14 Gcf/d down from 16 Gcf/d as of Jul 2005.

Anyone else aware of this?

Something weird about those numbers. Look at casinghead gas from Dec '04 to Jan '05. A sudden massive drop with nothing to explain it that I can think of. Then casinghead numbers are down all through '05.

This looks like bad data.

GCF Giga cubic feet; or Bcf which is more commonly used in the US.

Why the significant drop for gas well gas from October 2005 till December 2005?

Bad data?
