A DrillingInfo PrePermit is an advanced notice that a well might be permitted. DrillingInfo creates this data based on a variety of public and non-public (scouting) data.
A PrePermit is not guaranteed to become a permit, and may precede an actually permit by one day, many days, or even weeks.
DrillingInfo is in the process of collecting statistics to determine, in an average sense, how our PrePermits predict actual permitting activity.
Required Data: Time Period
Optional Data: Location, Operator, Lease, Depth, Truncation, Display
Required Data
Time Period Tips:
-Choose either previous number of days or a specific time period. If you choose both you will get an error message.
Optional Data
Location Tips:
-Choose a district, or a county, or even an abstract or section within a county. The counties and districts for which coverage exists are displayed in the drop down boxes.
See Searching by Abstract or Section
Operator Tips:
-Make sure that the operator name is correct. For example, if an operator re-organized and changed its name from XYZ Exploration to XYZ Resources it will have a new operator number. If you type in the old name, all you will see is information related to the previous company name.
Lease Tips:
- If you are searching for particular lease names, please be as accurate as you can be. Although our database has the ability to recognize spellings that are close to the correct spelling and tries to match them, if you provide an incorrect spelling that actually matches a real lease name, you will get the information for the real lease name but not for the lease you intended.
Depth Tips:
-In a permit query, the search by depth goes against the "permitted total depth"
Truncation:
-Choose to order by Depth or County.
Display Tips:
-The drop down list box lets you choose several ways to annotate/customize your data presentation. This function is used when you have chosen to see your data in map form.
