Frequently Asked Questions

What oil and gas production data does Buckhead Energy publish for free?

Free monthly oil and gas production by U.S. county — 1,118 counties across 25 states so far — each normalized to period, oil (bbl), gas (Mcf), and producing-well counts, and downloadable as CSV and JSON. Compiled from public state oil and gas regulator records and refreshed monthly.

What format is the county production data in, and how is it structured?

Each dataset is a normalized monthly time series with the same columns across every state — period (YYYYMM), oil in barrels, gas in Mcf, and producing-well counts — so counties and states are directly comparable. Both CSV and JSON are available for every county.

Can I download and reuse the data?

Yes. Every county's full monthly history is free to download and is licensed CC BY 4.0 — reuse it, including commercially, with attribution to Buckhead Energy. It is reference data, not a valuation, appraisal, or investment advice.

Where does the data come from and how current is it?

It is aggregated and normalized by Buckhead Energy from public state oil and gas regulator filings, current through Jul 2026, and refreshed monthly. Coverage expands as more states are added.
