hello, where on the RRC public GIS website does one find well permitting info?

i went to this page:

[http://www.rrc.texas.gov/oil-gas/applications-and-permits/drilling-permits/](http://www.rrc.texas.gov/oil-gas/applications-and-permits/drilling-permits/)

but do not see where to enter a database to see the filing.

in particular, for instance, i was looking for api# 38937041 which corresponds to proposed well site 601h on the attached screenshot.

out of curiosity - what is the significance of the number below the well name? in this case it is 37041.

thx.

Richard -

I have some information to send you, but would not think that you would want it posted here, on the main Forum Page. Please accept my invitation to become a Friend and I will send it to you privately.

I think you are in a good position here.

In answer to your question about the RRC link to Permits:

[http://webapps.rrc.state.tx.us/DP/initializePublicQueryAction.do](http://webapps.rrc.state.tx.us/DP/initializePublicQueryAction.do)

But I already have the Permits you are probably looking for downloaded and ready to send to you.
