Counties with the most wells permitted
Operators filing a first permit
Operator registrations whose first permit on file was approved May 27 to Jun 2, 2024. A registration is one operator number with one regulator, so a new one is not always a new company: where Petrora groups it with other registrations, the company is named.
| Operator | First permit | Wells permitted | Permits on file | Mostly in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FX Energy Operating, LLCPetrora groups this registration with 1 other under FX Energy Operating, LLC | May 28, 2024 | 1 | 23 | Jack, TX |
| Dominance Energy, LLC | May 31, 2024 | 0 | 1 | TX |

Wells that changed operator
Wells whose operator of record changed May 27 to Jun 2, 2024, by who they went from and to: 116 wells between 4 pairs of operators. The record says the operator changed, not why. Operator history is not available for Texas or Oklahoma, so this list is New Mexico only.

Vertical wells from operators drilling horizontals
Vertical wells permitted May 27 to Jun 2, 2024 by operators whose wells permitted over the twelve months before were at least 90% horizontal, out of 10 or more. New wells only, where the record says what a permit is for. The record says the well is vertical, not what it is for; its name and depth are what there is to read.

About this data
Each state regulator's well record (Texas: RRC; New Mexico: OCD; Oklahoma: OCC). A count is wells permitted: one row per well under its latest approved permit, on the approval date. The week is recounted from the record each time the page is opened, so a well whose permit is amended later moves to the amendment's week. An operator is one registration with one regulator. Nothing is estimated or scored: each list is the rule stated above it.
