Texas Form W-1

The Texas drilling permit application record used to track proposed oil and gas well activity before a well is drilled.

Texas Form W-1 is a source-record concept EnergyNetWatch keeps separate from broader activity claims.

Why It Matters

W-1 records help teams see proposed drilling activity before reported spuds and production records appear.

Where The Public Data Comes From

The source is Texas Railroad Commission drilling-permit data.

What The Record Can Show

A W-1 can show operator, lease, county, field, well purpose, proposed depth, and permit timing.

What The Record Cannot Prove

A W-1 permit does not prove the well was drilled, completed, producing, or economic.

How EnergyNetWatch Uses It

EnergyNetWatch uses W-1 records for Texas permit activity, operator movement, county concentration, and permit-to-spud follow-up.
