Daily Reporting: A New Mandate from the Texas RRC
New regulatory requirements in Texas are reshaping how operators manage injection reporting.
The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) now mandates daily injection volume and pressure data reporting for certain wells. This shift reflects the RRC’s broader effort to ensure operators have a detailed understanding of their injection activity—enabling better pressure management in shallow zones, reducing the risk of environmental incidents, and protecting vital groundwater resources.
The Operational Challenge: Manual Workload and Compliance
However, for operators, daily reporting introduces significant operational complexity. Manual data entry, validation, and submission can quickly consume critical team resources—particularly for organizations managing dozens of injection wells across their portfolios.
B3’s Daily Injection Reporting Tool was developed to address these challenges directly. It is a user-friendly solution that enables operators to:
- Download a standardized Excel template pre-configured with regulatory-required fields.
- Enter daily injection data efficiently for multiple wells at a time, including volumes, pressures, and rates.
- Drag and drop data into the tool for automated validation and immediate error detection.
- Submit validated data seamlessly to regulatory portals, maintaining compliance without process delays.
- Access a historical record of all submissions, supporting internal audits, performance reviews, and regulatory inspections.
Real-World Impact: Time Savings and Strategic Value
For large operators, the benefits are substantial. One user shared that the platform automated data validation and submission workflows, freeing up their team to focus on higher-value, strategic work.
“This tool freed up our staff to focus on critical analysis and planning rather than manual data tasks.”
— Large Midstream Operator
As new RRC guidelines take effect, daily reporting is expected to become standard practice for an increasing number of injection wells. In this context, the Daily Injection Reporting Tool is not optional—it’s essential for:
- Ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory frameworks
- Reducing operational risk from data entry errors or missed submissions
- Optimizing resource allocation by minimizing manual workload
