Operators filing a first permit
Operator registrations whose first permit on file was approved Oct 10 to Nov 8, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lake Country Disposal LLC | Oct 16, 2026 | 1 | 1 | Carter |

Vertical wells from operators drilling horizontals
Vertical wells permitted Oct 10 to Nov 8, 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.
| Well | Operator | County | Approved | Target depth | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No vertical well was permitted by such an operator in this period. | |||||
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, 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.
