For Texas plugging contractors & operators

Know your plug program
before you plug.

PlugFile computes exact plug depths, counts, and cement volumes from the TAC §3.14 rulebook — so you plan the job right, quote accurately, and file with confidence. No guesswork. No rework.

No account needed to start a draft — sign in only to unlock the clean, submission-ready PDF.

26 sec — API number to a filed-ready W-3.
Two workflows: plan, then file

Know the job before you start. Submit with confidence after.

PlugFile serves plugging contractors and operators at two moments: when you're planning the operation, and when you're preparing the filing. Same tool, two phases.

01

Before plugging: plan the job

Enter the well's API number. PlugFile pulls the casing, GAU depth, perforated zones, and BUQW from RRC records, then computes your exact plug program: every plug depth, plug count, and cement volume. Know what you're ordering before you order it. Quote accurately.

02

During execution: track what you use

Plug according to your program. Keep notes: casing cut depth, cap material, each cement stage — the information you already track. No app babysitting at the wellsite.

03

After plugging: file in 30 minutes

Enter the API and dictate your Section IX narrative on your phone. PlugFile auto-fills operator info, re-checks the plug program, turns your voice memo into the RRC-ready narrative, and hands you a complete filing package. Review it free — pay $9 when you're ready to submit.

How it fits your workflow

Plan the job, execute it, file it.

Before the well

PlugFile computes your plug program.

Type the API number. PlugFile pulls the casing, GAU depth, perforated zones, and BUQW from RRC records, then computes every plug: depth, count, and exact cement volume. Print it, email it, use it to quote and order materials. Now you know what you're doing before you arrive at the well.

7:00 AM

You rig up and plug according to plan.

Same morning routine. Plug your job the way you planned it. PlugFile isn't on site — it did its work before you got there.

During the day

Track what you actually used.

Casing cut depth, cap material, each cement stage — the information you always track. No app to babysit.

Back at the office

Dictate your Section IX on your phone.

Describe what you did: wellhead removal, cap material, surface restoration, any deviations from plan. PlugFile turns it into the RRC-ready narrative and cross-checks your actual plug program against §3.14.

Same session

Review the filing package and submit.

PlugFile hands you a complete, compliant W-3 — every cement volume auditable, Section IX drafted, all fields auto-filled from RRC records. Review it free. Pay $9 when ready to file. You log in to the RRC portal and submit. Done in minutes — just like TurboTax doesn't mail your return, you do.

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 →
