Operator of record and permit operator
A well's operator of record is the OCD's, and its permit operator is the one on its latest drilling permit; neither fills in for the other. Its wells of record are counted as its wells, with its live permits; a well it permitted that another operator runs, or that the OCD lists with no operator at all, is not. Each count opens the wells it counts. Transfers and operator numbers →
Reported production by month
Volumes Matador Production Company filed under its OGRID on form C-115, through Aug 2026. They stay with the operator that filed them, so a well it bought shows here only from the month it took over.

About this data
New Mexico Oil Conservation Division (OCD). Matador Production Company is identified by its OGRID. Well counts are the wells it is operator of record for today; volumes are what it filed under that number, through Aug 2026 for production and Aug 2026 for injection. Production and injection filed before January 1993 are in lifetime totals as the Division's totals to that date, and in no month or year. Nothing is estimated.
