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.
- 1DataHub pulls every input
Production volumes from Enertia, Quorum, W Energy, PakEnergy, or Oildex. Meter and run-ticket data from your SCADA historian (AVEVA PI System, 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 DataHub 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 the production month. It covers production volumes, disposition (sales, stock, used on lease, vented or flared), and well-by-well allocation for every lease the operator runs. Most mid-size operators file dozens to hundreds of leases per cycle.
How does WorkSync automate Form PR?
The WorkSync DataHub pulls production volumes from your accounting platform (Enertia, Quorum, W Energy, PakEnergy, Oildex), run-ticket and meter data from SCADA, and lease metadata from your land system. It assembles the Form PR per lease, runs reconciliation against gauge data and prior-period balances, and surfaces any variance over a configurable threshold for human review. The cleaned file is then submitted through the RRC online filing portal or exported in the RRC-accepted format.
What pain does this solve compared to our current process?
Most operators we talk to spend 3 to 5 days of the last week of every month assembling Form PR by hand: pulling reports from production accounting, reconciling against pumper gauges, manually allocating commingled volumes, and chasing down stock balance variances. WorkSync compresses this to a 2-hour review-and-submit. Amendment cycles drop because reconciliation catches the errors before submission rather than after the RRC kicks back a discrepancy.
Does WorkSync replace our production accounting system?
Your production accounting system stays the system of record for production volumes. WorkSync sits on top of it via the DataHub and adds the assembly, reconciliation, and submission-ready layer that turns those volumes into a filed Form PR without the manual handoff.
How does Form PR automation overlap with severance tax filings?
Texas severance tax filings (Comptroller forms) draw from the same production volumes that feed Form PR. Once WorkSync has the reconciled production set for the month, the severance tax filing falls out of the same dataset. Operators running both filings on the WorkSync pipeline eliminate the cross-check step that catches most discrepancies after the fact.
How fast can we deploy Form PR automation?
Two weeks for the integration to your production accounting platform and SCADA. Four weeks to live production filing under the Impact Guarantee. The metric we anchor on is hours of analyst time per filing cycle, and license fees only when that metric moves.
Cut your Form PR cycle from a week to a morning.
4-week pilot, Impact Guarantee. If we do not cut analyst hours per filing 60 percent or more, you owe no license fee.
