Oil Prod political contributions from Midland, TX

How Oil Prod meets Midland, TX on the disclosure tape

$19,500 is the overlap of two filer-entered fields: industry/employer grouping OIL PROD and contributor city MIDLAND with state TX. LobbyVault keeps a Midland, TX city hub and an Oil Prod industry hub. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is all industries in Midland. The industry hub is that abbreviated string across cities. This page is only both filters at once.

Thirty contributions from 21 donors produced $19,500. Repeat gifts add receipts; 21 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a census of every operator in the Permian. Arithmetic mean per receipt is $650; per donor, about $929. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical wellhead checks and not medians.

OIL PROD is an exact employer/occupation string. It is not OIL PRODUCER, not oil production, and not a NAICS sector. Those other spellings are other keys even when the city is also Midland. $19,500 counts only rows that stored OIL PROD in Midland, TX. City labels are filer-entered.

The Midland side of the Oil Prod join

Midland, TX's all-industry itemized book in this extract is $82,334,215 across 108,952 contributions. $19,500 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact abbreviation: most Midland receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as Midland's oil sector unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists OIL PROD only.

The stored city sits in Texas. Other Texas city strings are other keys. Texas campaign-finance pages include those other cities. Do not add $19,500 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-industry pages. None of them converts $19,500 into spending by Midland candidates.

Oil Prod rows stored outside Midland

The Oil Prod industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not a Texas-only table. $19,500 is the Midland, TX slice of that string. A donor in another city who stored OIL PROD is not in this join. A donor in Midland who stored a different occupation string — including OIL PRODUCER — is not in this join. This packet publishes $19,500 with 30 contributions and 21 donors.

This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the Oil Prod × Midland, TX overlap. Open the live Oil Prod page and the live Midland, TX page for those breakdowns if the extract publishes them. Quote the join with both nouns in the same sentence so a downstream citation cannot drop a side or swap in a different oil spelling.

What the Oil Prod × Midland dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $19,500. Texas state-office filings sit outside it. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file. City labels and industry labels are both filer-entered; LobbyVault does not recode MIDLAND into a Census place or OIL PROD into a standardized occupation. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this pair of strings follow the same rule as household streets.

Do not read $19,500 as proof that oil producers control Midland politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $19,500 or 21 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Using Midland, TX and Oil Prod links without mixing statutes

Internal links go to Midland, TX, Oil Prod, Texas campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $19,500 to federal spending in Texas. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes even when both mention Midland.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns: Oil Prod and Midland, TX. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $19,500 across 30 receipts from 21 donors is the only overlap this extract published for this spelling. Do not add $19,500 to $82,334,215; the first number is already inside the second.

How to cite the Midland × Oil Prod facts

Citation template: employer/industry grouping OIL PROD, contributor city Midland, TX, $19,500 on 30 itemized individual contributions from 21 donors, against a city-wide $82,334,215 on 108,952 contributions (under 0.1% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered. Do not substitute OIL PRODUCER for OIL PROD.

Then send the reader to the live Midland, TX hub, the Oil Prod industry page, Texas campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. This file stays on one city and one abbreviated employer string.

Questions

How much did Oil Prod donors in Midland, TX give?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry OIL PROD and city MIDLAND total $19,500 across 30 receipts from 21 donors in this extract. That is the join, not Midland, TX's all-industry book of $82,334,215. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Is Oil Prod the same as Oil Producer in Midland?

No. OIL PROD is the exact stored string in $19,500. OIL PRODUCER is a different key and is omitted from this join. Twenty-one donors and 30 receipts follow the OIL PROD exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not merge the two labels.

What share of Midland, TX itemized money is Oil Prod?

$19,500 is under 0.1% of the $82,334,215 Midland, TX city book (108,952 city-field contributions). A thin share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking.

Do Oil Prod donations in Midland fund federal spending there?

No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $19,500 does not become a contract because both rows can mention Midland. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
