If a well tells you what happened in one place, an operator tells you what a company is doing everywhere.
Find the operator
Open operators. The default view ranks operators by permits that appeared in the last 90 days, with the count of counties they filed in, how many of those permits are horizontal, and their busiest county. That ranking is the fastest answer to "who is drilling right now".
To find a specific company, search by name. RRC names are the legal names on the P-5 registration, upper-case and often abbreviated, so "Pioneer" finds "PIONEER NATURAL RES. USA, INC". Search results show the all-time permit count, last activity date, and P-5 status.
Read the operator page
The page opens with the RRC operator number, city, and P-5 status, then five figures: permits in the last 90 days, permits in the last twelve months, permits on file since 1966, and cumulative oil and gas from lease reports.
Below that, counties where the operator permitted in the last twelve months, each linking to that county's permit list filtered to the operator's window, and the permits themselves newest first.
One company, several numbers
A company that reorganized or acquired others may appear under more than one operator number. Petrora shows each as its own operator and does not merge them. If you are sizing a company, search its name and check whether several results share a city and officers. Operator numbers and the P-5 explains why the numbers multiply.
