Everything public on Petrora works without an account: every well, operator, county, lease, and guide, and the API for light use. An account is for the things that are yours: alerts today, API keys and saved pages next.
Two ways to sign up
- Email and password. Enter both on the sign-up page. Petrora emails a six-digit code; type it in and you are signed in. No link to click, nothing to install.
- Google. Choose "Continue with Google" on the same page and approve the prompt. Petrora receives your email address and nothing else.
Either way takes under a minute. If you already had an account on the previous Petrora, it still works: sign in with the same email, and use "Forgot password" if you need a new one.
What the account gives you now
- Watchlists. Save a permit search by county, operator, district, or permit type, and open it any time to see what matches now. Turn on the daily email and each morning with new matches brings one message listing them, and nothing on days when none did. You can size a watchlist before saving it. Up to five can email you. Make one.
- An account page with your email, your watchlists, and the sign-out button. Open it.
What it will give you next
- API keys, for bulk and scheduled use beyond what anonymous access allows.
- Saved pages: describe the page you wish existed, keep it private or share it.
- Scheduled briefs: a written summary of what changed in your territory, every claim linked to a page.
The roadmap keeps the order current.
What it costs
Browsing is free and stays free. The connector and the API start with a free trial, no card. When it ends, the Founder rate on the pricing page keeps them on, locked in for as long as you keep the account. The tier closes when Petrora leaves beta, and nobody is charged without choosing it.
Privacy, briefly
Petrora stores your email address, your watchlists, and the usual sign-in records. It does not sell or share them. The privacy page has the full statement, written to be read.
