The Railroad Commission of Texas (Texas RRC) in the US has launched a new tool that will allow users to track oil and gas inspections.

The new RRC Online Inspection Lookup (OIL) tool also helps users to search for statewide enforcement information, including notices of violation and intentions to end leases.

With the help of RRC OIL, anyone can search online records of oil and gas well inspections and violations.

Texas RRC chairman Christi Craddick said: “RRC Online Inspection Lookup continues our efforts to use improved technology to deliver more accessible information to the public and industry on the work of the commission.”

Commissioner Wayne Christian said: “This tool will be helpful to our agency, the industry and most importantly, the general public in ensuring individuals have easy, transparent access to data regarding the regulation of our natural resources.
