Railroad Commission Seeks Input on Monthly Summary of Texas Natural Gas
June 18, 2025
To better serve the public, the Railroad Commission of Texas is seeking input from users of the Monthly Summary of Texas Natural Gas as the agency considers potential changes to the report’s content, structure and format. If you are a user of the Monthly Summary of Texas Natural Gas, the Commission is interested in hearing from you.
The Monthly Summary of Texas Natural Gas is on the RRC website at https://www.rrc.texas.gov/oil-and-gas/research-and-statistics/production-data/monthly-summary-of-texas-natural-gas/. This report contains 13 tables of data on natural gas production, disposition, natural gas liquids production, gas storage and other information in statewide and district summaries.
Much of the information used to compile the Monthly Summary of Texas Natural Gas comes from more than 2,000 Form R-3’s, Monthly Report for Gas Processing Plants, that are filed each month. The Commission is currently developing a new system to process Form R-3, and this is an ideal time to consider potential changes to the Monthly Summary of Texas Natural Gas.
The Commission requests interested users of this report to submit written comments, suggestions or recommendations on the report’s content, structure and format, and how this report can be improved. After a 30-day comment period, the Commission will hold a workshop or a webinar to discuss the findings and assess the future of the report.
Please send your comments, contact information (if you want to be informed of a workshop or webinar) or questions by email to: EngUnit@rrc.texas.gov, or by mail to:

What we do
The Railroad Commission, through its Oil and Gas Division, regulates the exploration, production, and transportation of oil and natural gas in Texas. Its statutory role is to:
- prevent waste of the state's natural resources,
- protect the correlative rights of different interest owners,
- prevent pollution, and
- provide safety in matters such as hydrogen sulfide.
The division accomplishes these goals by permitting and reporting requirements; by field inspections, testing programs and monitoring industry activities in the field; and through programs to remediate abandoned wells and sites through the use of fees and taxes paid by industry.
The Oil and Gas Division is headquartered in Austin, Texas with nine district offices spread over the state.
