How much did Oil Producer donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $375,044 in itemized individual contributions for the Oil Producer grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 280 contributions and 71 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $7,725,244 all-cycle figure. Cite FEC.gov for the Oil Producer × 2010 join.

What share of Oil Producer FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $7,725,244. The 2010 cell of $375,044 is about 4.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.1% ($7,350,200) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Oil Producer hub holds other cycles.

Is this Oil Producer’s PAC or an official account?

No. $375,044 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Oil Producer. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup. The key is not an EIA well-count, not a barrel-of-oil-equivalent total, and not an energy PAC. Filings remain on FEC.gov.

Oil Producer and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Donors listing Oil Producer reported $375,044 in itemized individual contributions during the 2010 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 280 contributions from 71 donors. The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,725,244; the 2010 slice is about 4.9% of that running sum. OIL PRODUCER is grouped occupation text as stored on FEC individual receipts — not an EIA well-count, not a barrel-of-oil-equivalent total, and not an energy PAC.

Oil Producer crossed with 2010

Occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Oil Producer and 2010 — sum to $375,044. 280 itemized contributions and 71 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. This page joins the occupation grouping Oil Producer to cycle 2010; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the Oil Producer hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 71 unique donors and 280 lines in 2010 sit under the stored string OIL PRODUCER. OIL AND GAS, INDEPENDENT OIL PRODUCER, PETROLEUM, and OIL OPERATOR stay on their own keys if filers used them. DOI, DOE, or other energy USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

4.9% of the Oil Producer roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,725,244 ($7.7 million). The 2010 slice of $375,044 is about 4.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.1%, or $7,350,200. Treating 2010 as the Oil Producer FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $375,044 when the sentence is about 2010. Quote $7,725,244 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Treat $7,725,244 as the denominator for the 4.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $7,725,244. 4.9% is $375,044 divided by $7,725,244. Rounding to $375,044 and $7.7 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

280 contributions from 71 donors

Dividing $375,044 by 280 contributions yields about $1,339 per itemized gift. Dividing by 71 donors yields about $5,282 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.9. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Oil Producer 2010 holds the rows.

71 unique donors are contributor identities on itemized receipts, not a headcount of people who currently work under that title. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Unitemized gifts never appear in $375,044. State-office campaigns never enter this cell. A later amendment can restate a large transfer while most of the 280 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the live overlay. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer or occupation for that window. Oil Producer is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the occupation grouping filter and Oil Producer to drop the year. FEC cycle 2010 covers 2009–2010. A gift dated in the odd year and a gift dated in the even year can share the $375,044 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday.

That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 280 contributions, the 71 unique donors, and the 4.9% share of $7,725,244. Comparing Oil Producer in 2010 to another grouping requires that other grouping’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle.

Limits of the Oil Producer × 2010 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $375,044. DOI, DOE, or other energy USAspending rows are different datasets. Sharing an employer or occupation string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Correlation between a stored string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 71 donors, and 280 contributions.

OIL AND GAS, INDEPENDENT OIL PRODUCER, PETROLEUM, and OIL OPERATOR are other keys if stored separately. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into OIL PRODUCER. OIL PRODUCER is grouped occupation text as stored on FEC individual receipts — not an EIA well-count, not a barrel-of-oil-equivalent total, and not an energy PAC. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. A ranking of industries for 2010 is a different page — the 2010 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

Citing Oil Producer and 2010 together

Start with $375,044, then Oil Producer 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Oil Producer, 2010, $375,044, 280 contributions, 71 donors, 4.9% of $7,725,244, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 4.9% share, the 71 donors count, and the $1,339 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling string and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control. Do not print a 2010 share of US politics from $375,044. The denominator for 4.9% is $7,725,244, the Oil Producer grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov.
