I was curious how to find out the status of permitted locations?

Go to the Railroad Commission and they have an area where you can check on drilling permits and completions and lots of other information. Hope that helps you… Louise

That’s my question also. 56-6 got 3 permits about 3 weeks ago (BHP) and wanted to know average wait time until spud?

Well I can find the permitted wells but can’t find any info on if the well has been spud yet. I’m curious to see if the operator is still on schedule on the development of original plan.

Once the well is spud, a new box appears at the top of the permit page with the spud date, etc. Look at the permit page for an older well and you will see an example.

Post a couple wells - permits and producing - and then I will help you look.

Okay, well these wells are in. Loving County, Texas, District 08. Operator number EOG# 253162 is the operator number. The wells that I think are being spud right now are the following: Wrangler Units and The Rustler Units. 836942, 836951, 836948, 836955, 936696, 836691.

EOG has not spud any of the Wrangler wells. Go to the RRC Drilling Permit (W-1) Query and find Rustler D Unit 1H - API 42-301-33897. When you click on the lease name, the Form W-1 page opens and under the Status Approved line, there will be a Completion Information set of boxes and the Spud Date and Surface Casing Date will be filled in. That well was spud on May 13, 2018. If a well has not been spud, then under the Status Approved line, there will only be the General / Location Information boxes.

TennisDaze I still hate to bother you but do you think you can snip a pic of where you found out the spud information? I cannot locate it on any of the permits. Block 76 Section 25, 26, 35, 36. I know there are five wells (3 units) online producing but on the other permitted wells I cannot find any info on if well has been spud or not even on the W1s. Could you snip a picture and help me find it? Thanks.

RRC Permit for Wrangler A Unit 2H - Below Status: Approved and above General / Location Information. A box called Completion Information is now open with well spud date of 7/31/2018. Hopefully the snip picture opens.

Thanks so much. I don’t know why I can’t find that on the current W-1 when I looked. So when I got to drilling permit query and pulled off the permit and couldn’t find this. Thanks again
