Production is reported to us by state regulators. New Mexico and New York report per wellbore. Texas and Kansas report per lease, so for those states a well-level figure is exact only where the lease has a single wellbore; otherwise it is the lease total divided across its wellbores. 30,004 of 48,576 wells here have production on file. Full methodology and sources.
