MiSTAR user guide
3. Production Report Form
The MiSTAR Monthly Production Data Form allows digital submission of GRMD/MPSC Monthly Production reporting (EQP 7101 and 7101A for those operators that are approved to file annually) by operators. It allows either monthly or yearly submission of multiple production entities on a single .csv or .xlsx report. This form should be completed using the guidance above and below. The MiSTAR form replaces existing paper forms as well as the previous outdated Production E-file reporting system. Format and fields in the form were kept as close to the original E-file form as possible.
- Production Entity: Anything that production data is reported against. Michigan has three production entities (Wellbores, PRUs, and Antrim Projects). Each of these has a unique set of attributes that must be captured on the EDD.
- Production Reporting Unit (PRU): A single well or group of wells producing from the same formation to a single storage tank or set of tanks for shipment by a gatherer. Occasionally single wells are brought together into multi-well PRUs or vice-versa. In these situations, the original PRU number(s) is retired, and the new one takes precedence. Past PRU numbers can be viewed in MiSTAR within the Associations tab on the PRU detail page. Operators should reach out to GRMD via Jason Mysinger (MysingerJ@Michigan.gov) or the production inbox (EGLE-GRMD-Production@Michigan.gov) with any questions regarding the appropriate PRU.
- Antrim Project: An identification label, applied only to Antrim Shale wells, used by the MPSC todesignate a group of wells within a given Antrim field. The Antrim Project Number assigned by the MPSC is the same as the Antrim Project Number listed in MiSTAR.
Production categories
The initial field in the form is titled “Production Category”. This field allows for different validation depending on the record type and is similar to the categories of records used in the original e-file form. This field must be filled out with one of the valid Production Category values. To determine which category to use follow the flow chart below.

Important items to note
- Each Antrim Project/Antrim PRU record should have either metered or non-metered wellbore record(s) along with it.
- Each Single Oil/Gas PRU record should have one wellbore record along with it.
- Each Multiple Oil/Gas PRU should have multiple wellbore records along with it.
- Most wellbore records will just report the well status; except metered wellbores which will report Gas and Water volumes as well.
- Due to the .csv formatting, additional commas should not be used in any field. (Examples: The number “one thousand” should be “1000” and not “1,000”. The well name, “Anderson, Lisa #1” should be “Anderson Lisa #1”).
- Do not leave empty rows in your form - this will cause the program to miss records in your file.
- For adjustments, please submit amended records for the months involved and note the reason for the adjustment in the “Remarks” field. Transfers should also be noted in the “Remarks” field.
- If a well has multiple active API numbers, only one wellbore API number per well should be reported. To determine which API number to report - look at the Associations tab on the ‘Wellbore or PRU Production Entity Detail Page’ and use the API number with no association end date and report on that API number only.

As a standard rule the API number with an MPSC permit number or (if not applicable) the highest API number should be the value used. In the example above the well has three active wellbores, however only the 0500 wellbore does NOT have an end date. This is the API that should be reported.
Antrim reporting examples
- Antrim Field/Project with 12 non-metered Antrim wells. The file would include:
- 1 Antrim PRU Record for each PRU within the field
- 1 Antrim Project Record
- 8 Antrim Metered Well Records
NOTE- Report both Antrim PRU and Antrim Project Records even if the PRU production is the same as the Project production.
- Antrim Field/Project with 8 metered wells.
- 1 Antrim PRU Record for each PRU within the field
- 1 Antrim Project Record
- 8 Antrim Metered Well Records
Non-antrim reporting examples
- Non-Antrim unitized unit with 2 wells.
- 1 Multiple Oil/Gas PRU record for the unitized production from the unit
- 2 Multiple PRU well status records
- Non-Antrim well individually metered.
- 1 Single Oil/Gas PRU record for the production from the well
- 1 Single Oil/Gas Well record
