Format for archives of production data
The file includes an ID code used by the Kansas Geological Survey called the LEASE_KID. We are saving the Kansas Dept. of Revenue code as column 3. Finally, we have included the "Month" values for saving monthly data. Yearly data is indicated by Month=0; Starting cumulative value indicated by Month=-1. API number is listed if we have tied the production data to our well data.
