Permit Inventory
Permits that have been filed or approved but have not necessarily converted into reported spuds, completions, or production.
Permit inventory is a source-record concept EnergyNetWatch keeps separate from broader activity claims.
Why It Matters
Permit inventory helps users distinguish future optionality from activity that has already started.
Where The Public Data Comes From
Inventory is built from permit records and filtered by source status, date, expiration, and follow-through evidence where available.
What The Record Can Show
It can show operators or counties with large permit queues.
What The Record Cannot Prove
A permit inventory does not prove drilling will occur or that a rig is active today.
How EnergyNetWatch Uses It
EnergyNetWatch compares permits with spuds and production clocks before using inventory as an activity signal.
