Operators filing a first permit

Operator registrations whose first permit on file was approved Aug 9 to Nov 6, 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 history is not available for Oklahoma.

Vertical wells from operators drilling horizontals

Vertical wells permitted Aug 9 to Nov 6, 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.

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.
