PlugFile
W-3 compliance, automated
For Texas plugging contractors & operators

From plug to filed.
Without re-typing a thing.

PlugFile auto-fills your W-3 from RRC records, cross-checks every cement volume against TAC §3.14, and prepares a submission-ready filing package — so your W-3 clears the first time.

What you stop doing

Three jobs PlugFile takes off your plate.

A W-3 today is 4–12 hours of re-typing operator info, looking up GAU letters, hand-calculating cement volumes, and writing Section IX from memory. PlugFile collapses that into one workflow that runs while your truck cools off.

01

From plug to filing in under 30 minutes

You finish the plug, dictate a 2-minute voice memo on the way home, and PlugFile has a complete W-3 waiting in your review queue by the time you walk in the door.

02

Auto-fills operator, well, and BUQW from RRC records

Type the API number — PlugFile pulls your P-5 record, the well master file, the GAU letter, and the completion record. You stop double-typing data the RRC already has on you.

03

Talk through the plug; we draft the paperwork

Dictate what you did at the wellsite — casing cut depth, cap material, surface restoration. PlugFile turns it into the Section IX narrative your district expects, in their format.

How it fits your day

One well. Ten minutes of paperwork. Done.

7:00 AM

You rig up at the well.

Same morning routine. PlugFile isn't on site, doesn't need to be.

During the day

You record a voice memo as each plug stage finishes.

Two minutes per stage. Phone in your shirt pocket. No app to babysit.

4:00 PM

Driving back, you finish the memo and hit send.

PlugFile pulls your operator and well info from the RRC the second you submit.

6:00 PM

PlugFile has drafted the W-3.

Every cement volume cross-checked against §3.14. The review queue flags anything ambiguous so you can spot-check in five minutes.

8:00 AM tomorrow

You review, approve, and submit via the RRC Online System.

PlugFile hands you a complete, compliant filing package — every cement volume cross-checked, Section IX drafted, all fields populated from RRC records. Log in to the RRC portal and submit. Done in minutes.

Why the math is right

The same calculation a Texas RRC inspector would run by hand.

A W-3 is a regulated engineering document. A wrong cement volume isn't a typo — it's a violation. So we don't ask an AI to do the math.

Every cement volume on every PlugFile W-3 comes from the exact same calculation, every time — the same one a §3.14 inspector would run by hand. The math is explicit and auditable. Your auditor, your district office, or you can pull up the exact formula, the exact inputs, and the exact §3.14 paragraph that authorized the plug. The AI parses your voice memo and surfaces what's missing; it never fills in a number it didn't hear from you. See the technical architecture →
