Argentine oil & gas open data from the Secretaría de Energía CKAN portal: well-level Capítulo IV production metadata (85,380 wells), unconventional shale/tight monthly production (400,759 rows, 2006-present), master well registry (84,242 wells), Vaca Muerta directional well trajectories (2,133 wells), and per-job fracture detail (4,696 jobs). First CKAN datastore connector in PatchOps. HTTP only — host has broken HTTPS. Filters are strict case-sensitive — use enumValues from getServiceInfo.

Clearfork Intelligence — curated Texas & New Mexico oil & gas well data, TX drilling permits, and monthly production history with enrichment (aggregated production stats, SB-1150 "zombie well" exposure, canonical well IDs, radius + batch lookup). A cleaned commercial layer complementing the public rrc/nmocd connectors. AUTH: PAID Bearer token (key format cfork_live_...). Set CLEARFORK_BEARER_TOKEN. Requires an Operator ($249/mo) or Enterprise ($499/mo) plan; the permits methods are Enterprise-only. getServiceInfo works without a key (hits the public /health endpoint).

Colombian oil & gas open data published by ANH (Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos) via datos.gov.co Socrata SODA. First Socrata connector in PatchOps. Datasets (live-probed 2026-05-07): - Crude oil production (51,924 monthly rows) ⭐ field/operator/department/contract + Point geometry - Gas production (69,074 monthly rows) ⭐ same shape, gas in KPC - Active contracts (275) ⭐ operator/cuenca/estado/etapa - Production tests (723, 2025-2026) initial + extended well tests - Field royalty liquidations (203,572) USD price, COP regalías per field-month upstream quirks: SoQL filters case-sensitive (CASANARE not casanare). Numbers stored as text with mixed US (11,955.00) and EU (63,13) formats. Year column on royalties is "a_o" (mangled "año").

Production forecasting, decline curve analysis, type curves, and economic evaluations for oil and gas assets.

Louisiana SONRIS / DNR (now DCE) oil & gas. No auth. - searchWells (~245K) ⭐ filter by parish, operator, status (LEGEND_DES), product - searchSaltDomes (174) ⭐ LA-specific — caverns, sour gas risk, SPR - searchFields (~11K polygons), searchInjectionWells (~4.5K), getWellByApi, getServiceInfo upstream quirks: native sonris-www server is 404, working data is on AGOL mirrors. Well attributes are 10-char-truncated (WELL_STATU/LEGEND_DES). PARISH_NAM stored UPPERCASE. SONRIS production DB has no public API — wells include sonrisLink for browser-session deep dive.

Queensland Open Data Portal — 188k+ QLD government datasets. Strong O&G: petroleum/gas production stats, CSG/condensate/crude/LPG/natural-gas reserves, tenure, environment. CKAN 3 with search, package/resource metadata, and datastore queries incl. SELECT-only SQL. Platform JWT embedded for higher rate limits. METHODS: packageSearch, packageShow, resourceShow, datastoreSearch, datastoreSearchSql, listOrganizations, listGroups, getServiceInfo RULES: 1. `datastore_active: true` ≠ parsed rows; XLSX often empty — fall back to download URL. 2. Pagination caps at 1000 rows; use `start` / `offset`. 3. datastoreSearchSql rejects non-SELECT.
