Texas RRC Form PR Automation
Form PR, assembled and reconciled before the last week of the month.
Texas RRC Form PR is due the last day of the month following production. Every Texas operator runs the same 5-day fire drill: pull volumes from production accounting, reconcile against pumper gauges, allocate commingled leases, chase stock variances. WorkSync auto-assembles Form PR from Enertia, Quorum, and Oildex, reconciles before submission, and turns the fire drill into a 2-hour review.
What changes when Form PR is automated
Definition
What is Texas RRC Form PR?
Form PR is the Texas Railroad Commission monthly production report. Every operator with active oil, gas, and condensate wells in Texas files Form PR by the last day of the month following the production month. The filing covers volumes (oil, gas, condensate, casinghead), disposition (sales, stock, used on lease, vented or flared), and well-by-well allocation for every lease the operator runs.
A mid-tier Texas operator with 200 leases files 200 lease records per month. A larger operator with multi-basin Texas exposure files thousands. The form itself is not complicated. The problem is that the inputs live in five different systems and the math has to balance to the prior-period stock and to the severance tax filing.
Where Form PR breaks today
The four pain points every Texas filing analyst recognizes.
Manual data assembly across systems
Production volumes live in Enertia or Quorum. Run tickets live in SCADA. Lease metadata lives in your land system. Stock balances live in pumper logs. Assembling Form PR means an analyst pulls all four into Excel, reconciles by hand, and chases discrepancies for a week.
Last-week-of-the-month deadline pressure
Form PR is due the last day of the month following production. Every operator has a 5-day fire drill at the end of every month. Analysts work nights. Errors slip through because the deadline forces submission before reconciliation finishes.
Amendment cycles after the fact
When the RRC kicks back a discrepancy (commingled lease imbalance, stock variance, allocation mismatch), the operator amends. Amendments compound across months. Some leases carry a year of accumulated rework before someone unwinds it.
Cross-check with severance tax breaks
The volumes that feed Form PR also feed Texas Comptroller severance tax filings. When the two sets diverge, the reconciliation conversation between accounting and operations becomes a full audit. Compliance risk grows because nobody owns the cross-check.
How WorkSync automates it
Four steps from production data to filed Form PR.
- 1Data Hub pulls every input
Production volumes from Enertia, Quorum, W Energy, PakEnergy, or Oildex. Meter and run-ticket data from your SCADA historian (OSIsoft PI, Cygnet, AVEVA, Ignition). Lease, well, and disposition metadata from your land system. Gauge readings from pumper logs or mobile field data capture.
- 2Reconciliation engine flags variances
Every Form PR line goes through a 4-way reconciliation: accounting volume vs SCADA meter vs pumper gauge vs prior-period stock balance. Variances over your threshold (default 0.5 percent) surface to an analyst queue. Everything inside the threshold passes through.
- 3Form PR is assembled in RRC-accepted format
WorkSync builds the lease-level Form PR file in the format the RRC online filing portal accepts. Analyst reviews the reconciliation exceptions only. Clean leases never hit a human queue.
- 4Submit through the RRC portal
Submit via the RRC online filing portal or export the file in the RRC-accepted format. The filed copy plus the reconciliation audit trail is archived in the Data Hub for future amendments, audits, and severance tax cross-check.

Frequently asked
What Texas operators ask about Form PR automation.
What is Texas RRC Form PR?
Form PR is the Texas Railroad Commission monthly production report. Every operator with active oil, gas, and condensate wells in Texas files Form PR by the last day of the month following production. It covers volumes, disposition (sales, stock, used on lease, vented or flared), and well-by-well allocation per lease.
How does WorkSync automate Form PR assembly?
The WorkSync Data Hub pulls production volumes from your accounting platform (Enertia, Quorum, W Energy, PakEnergy, Oildex), meter and run-ticket data from SCADA, and lease metadata from your land system. It assembles Form PR per lease, runs reconciliation against gauges and prior-period balances, and surfaces variances over a configurable threshold for human review.
What is the typical time savings?
Operators we talk to spend 3 to 5 days of the last week of every month assembling Form PR by hand. WorkSync compresses this to a 2-hour review-and-submit. Amendment cycles drop because reconciliation catches errors before submission rather than after the RRC kicks back a discrepancy.
Does WorkSync replace our production accounting?
No. The Data Hub sits on top. Enertia, Quorum, Oildex, W Energy, and PakEnergy remain the system of record for production volumes. We add the assembly, reconciliation, and submission-ready layer that turns those volumes into a filed Form PR.
How fast can Form PR automation deploy?
Two weeks for integration to your production accounting and SCADA. Four weeks to live production filing under the Impact Guarantee. The metric we anchor on is analyst hours per filing cycle. If we do not cut it 60 percent or more, you owe nothing.
