As first reported to NDIC in each month's report (NDIC Monthly Production Reports, Jan 2003 to Aug 2026). Operators amend past months later and the published reports are not updated, so a month can differ from the current record. A blank or missing month is unknown, not zero, and a cumulative over such months is a lower bound; two pools reported in one month are summed. Rates per producing day divide the month's volume by the days reported, so a month reported without producing days has no rate. Gas–oil ratio is gas produced over oil produced; water cut is water over oil plus water. Months from Jan 2003 to Apr 2015 are read from the Division's PDF reports, which print no flared gas and list a well in a unitized pool only inside its unit's total.
