Counties with the most wells permitted
Operators filing a first permit
Operator registrations whose first permit on file was approved Oct 26 to Nov 1, 2026. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Noon Resources, LLC | Oct 29, 2026 | 14 | 15 | Martin, TX |
| Brahma Services II LLC | Oct 27, 2026 | 1 | 1 | Robertson, TX |
| Oil & Gas Production, Inc. | Oct 27, 2026 | 1 | 1 | Harrison, TX |

Wells that changed operator
Wells whose operator of record changed Oct 26 to Nov 1, 2026, by who they went from and to: 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rover Operating, LLC | Riley Permian Operating Company, LLC, NM | 2 | Oct 27, 2026 |
| EOG Resources Inc | Avant Operating II, LLC, NM | 1 | Oct 26, 2026 |
Vertical wells from operators drilling horizontals
Vertical wells permitted Oct 26 to Nov 1, 2026 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.
