I am a royalty owner in McClain County and have royalty income from EOG Resources from the Spitfire0817. I know that EOG has permitted three additional wells for development of the field. I do not live in Oklahoma. Is there a decent free website that shows exactly where the drilling rigs are actively working that I could check every week to see when a rig has moved on to the pad?

You can find out the spud date from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission well records site.

> **[Test](https://imaging.occ.ok.gov/imaging/OGWellRecords.aspx)**

If you know the name of the wells, then type it in the wellname box or type in the surface location in the location box. As of now, the wells have a permit. Form 1000. Spud is Form 1001A, Completion is 1002A.

Ms. Barnes,

Thank you so much! You are, as always, so spot on and prompt with your responses. I know I had this particular website bookmarked back in 2019 but was struggling to find it again.
