What does “Liq 75 Gauge change” mean on a gas well’s record on the Railroad Commission production site? This well, which started out strong, has declined. Another well drilled at the same time remains strong.

Can you point us to which well, lease, or operator you are talking about? Perhaps the TTC ID code and district?

I found this - to be honest, I have never seen this “75” disposition code in all my years of working with the Texas Railroad Commission site.
Below is a screenshot of page 26 of the PDF attachment (Disposition codes).
The “Gauge Change” is the reason for the Code 75 - a decrease in oil stock / in this case 2 barrels of oil (disposition).

I took a look at this well (NE Overton 3H) - the decline you are seeing is to be expected from this type of horizontal wellbore in this lower Cotton Valley Sandstone / Bossier Sandstone section (TVD around 11,800’). A 2015 completion with very small frac - only 646 pounds proppant per foot with 25 barrels water per foot of lateral. Short lateral - only 3,658 feet of completed section.
Production graph below is monthly production - well is definitely in its last legs right now / very low pressure and easily loaded up with produced water that will negatively impact production.
Operator (Diversified) may be able to re-frac this well if the downhole mechanical situation merits this approach. I see that 5.5" casing is in place - this is optimum for re-frac option.
