oilmutt · x · 2026-08-17
A developer is building a searchable database for 7 million pages of scanned Texas oil & gas records. Using spaCy in Python, the system automatically extracts operators, landowners, and counties. With 2 million pages processed, well searches now take under 10 minutes. The goal is to achieve Google-like results for the full archive, reducing 10+ hour manual searches to under 30 seconds.
