How does E-File/EDI work?
E-File/EDI saves money by electronically sending data required on a report from your computer to our computer. There are several electronic mediums that are supported by the Commission’s E-File/EDI system for certain oil and gas forms: E-File System – File Upload The data is sent directly from your computer, using the Internet E-File System, to our computers. This transmission is almost instantaneous, requiring nothing in a material form to be transferred. Diskette The data is downloaded in a specified format from your computer onto a diskette. The diskette is mailed to the Commission where the data is then uploaded to our computer for processing. Cartridge Tape The data is downloaded in a specified format from your computer (usually a mainframe) onto a cartridge tape. The cartridge tape is mailed to the Commission where its data is then uploaded to our computer for processing. The use of this medium is typically more restrictive since filers must have access to a cartridge tape system
