Counties with the most wells permitted
Operators filing a first permit
Operator registrations whose first permit on file was approved Sep 1 to Sep 7, 2025. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sharp Energy Partners, LLC | Sep 3, 2025 | 4 | 8 | TX |
| Geoframe Energy, LLC | Sep 5, 2025 | 1 | 1 | TX |
| Ezekiel Exploration, LLC | Sep 4, 2025 | 1 | 2 | Dewey, OK |

Wells that changed operator
Wells whose operator of record changed Sep 1 to Sep 7, 2025, by who they went from and to: 2 wells between 2 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.
| From | To | Wells | Effective |
|---|---|---|---|
| Judah Oil LLC | Select Water Solutions, LLC, NM | 1 | Sep 3, 2025 |
| Mewbourne Oil Co | Soxgi LLC, NM | 1 | Sep 3, 2025 |
Vertical wells from operators drilling horizontals
Vertical wells permitted Sep 1 to Sep 7, 2025 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.
