New Mexico drilling permits
In New Mexico a drilling permit is an APD, an application for permit to drill, approved by OCD. OCD publishes the latest APD of each well, so this is one row per well with the date its APD was approved and what has happened since.
A full API number opens the well. Anything else filters the list below.

About this data
New Mexico Oil Conservation Division: the latest APD on each well record, with its approval date, the formation and depth the operator proposed, and the well's spud date where one is on file. A well whose APD was re-approved appears once, under its latest approval. Nothing is estimated.
Developers: this page as JSON is GET /v1/data/permits?state=nm, documented in the API reference.
