description: >-
  Lifecycle posture for the BSEE public data surface. There is no API to version, so
  there is no versioning scheme, no deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation header
  practice and no SLA. What BSEE does publish, and what a consumer can actually plan
  against, is a per-dataset refresh cadence for its bulk downloads.
versioning:
  scheme: none
  current_version: null
  note: >-
    No API version is published or negotiated. Data Center query pages and raw files
    carry no version identifier; some downloads (for example the pipeline location
    lists) are distinguished only by a version DATE inside the file.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  note: >-
    No deprecation or retirement policy is published for the Data Center queries or the
    raw-data files. Datasets have been added and retired without notice.
sla:
  published: false
  note: No availability or response-time commitment is published.
status_page:
  url: null
  published: false
  note: >-
    BSEE operates no status page. Outages and planned maintenance are announced as inline
    banners on the affected application page — for example the Public Information
    Ordering System page announces a fiscal year-end closeout during which purchases are
    disabled from 4:00 p.m. ET Friday 2026-09-18 to 9:00 a.m. Monday 2026-10-05. A
    consumer has to load the page to find out.
refresh_cadence:
  source: https://www.data.bsee.gov/Main/RawData.aspx
  note: >-
    BSEE publishes the update frequency of each bulk raw-data file on the Raw Data page.
    This is the closest thing to a change signal the surface offers.
  schedules:
    - frequency: daily
      datasets:
        - APD (Applications for Permit to Drill)
        - API well number lookup
        - Assignments
        - Company detail
    - frequency: weekly
      datasets:
        - Approvals
        - Scanned documents
    - frequency: bi-monthly
      datasets:
        - Production by planning area
        - Production by platform
        - Production data
    - frequency: monthly
      datasets:
        - Offshore statistics
        - OCS production
support_statement:

  quote: >-
    BSEE states it does not provide support for the downloadable raw data and suggests it
    only for consumers with advanced knowledge of the data involved.
