Operators filing a first permit
Operator registrations whose first permit on file was approved May 16 to Nov 11, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix Operating LLC | Oct 22, 2026 | 4 | 4 | Converse |
Operators new to a county
An operator's first well in a county: wells permitted May 16 to Nov 11, 2026 where the operator has no other well of record. The map shows the wells around the first of them, by operator. Registrations that are new altogether are in the list above.
| Operator | County | Wells permitted | First approved |

Wells that changed operator
Wells whose operator of record changed May 16 to Nov 11, 2026, by who they went from and to: 248 wells between 14 pairs of operators. The record says the operator changed, not why.

Vertical wells from operators drilling horizontals
Vertical wells permitted May 16 to Nov 11, 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; Wyoming: WOGCC). A count is wells permitted: one row per well under its latest approved permit, on the approval date, so a well whose permit is amended later is counted on the amendment's date. An operator is one registration with one regulator. Permits reach the files a few days after approval; each state's card says the latest approval on file. Nothing is estimated or scored: each list is the rule stated above it.
