WORLD DATA at DOE/EIA - not just USA data at the Energy Information Administration
Arkansas Production Data - awkward JDesignerPro system - requires multiple searches to put a single well together. Some by API but mostly you'll need Permit No. first.
Colorado Production data - select DATABASE on left side - then Production
Kansas Production data - select Lease Production on upper right side
Louisiana DNR on line production and well information (click on Sonris Lite in the upper left corner)
Louisiana well log TIF files - Supposedly requires a 20 meg "IDM" file viewer downoad - but scroll right and you'll see a .tif download link.
Minerals Management Service well data - good luck. Also field reserves data or might be better production and lease data here
Mississippi on line production and well information - recently improved - some also on DEQ Geology Dept - see geological survey lists
Mississippi scout ticket and log images - recently much improved
Montana Production data - awkward JDesignerPro system - requires multiple searches to put a single well together

Texas Proration Schedules - by field, - by operator
Texas Field Rules (rules can also be found on the proration schedules)
Texas RRC Well mapping system - Log images and other documents are sometimes available - select "Identify" on the map tools then click on the well to get a list of images.
Texas well log image system - at the end of this URL/Web address, EDIT AND REPLACE the 8 digit County-Well API number, currently set to 19730470 with the one you want
Texas RRC Document images - and well records - very complete for some districts. For API searches, enter 3+5 digit API number without the state - ie County and 5 digit API number.
