Among the 122 Texas counties with permit activity in this public collection, Bee ranks 101 by 90-day permit count. This rank covers the counties shown here, not every county in the state. It does not measure acreage, production, rig count, capital spending, or commercial awards.

Bee County permit snapshot reviewed October 15, 2026

This is a fixed snapshot reviewed October 15, 2026. The permit source runs through October 9, 2026 and the reported-spud source through September 26, 2026. Newer records may be available in the app and API. Those clocks are shown separately because permits and reported spuds are different record stages.

Source-quality review

The published trailing-12-month count is a corroborated subset of the raw county aggregate. The source aggregate contains 76 records; 1 corroborated record is included, while 75 unverified records are excluded pending review. It is not a complete county total. The October 15 RRC query corroborates Everest permit 917268 (API 4202534087) in Bee County. It shows original approval July 22 and an August 7 amendment of the same permit, counted once here using the stored original issue date. The other 75 historical rows lack matching W-1 identity evidence in this capture and remain unverified; they are excluded from the published subset.

Leading source-filed operator labels

EVEREST RESOURCE COMPANY leads this public preview with 1 permit, or 100.0% of the county total. The 1 displayed label accounts for 1 permit (100.0%). Operator names are preserved as filed; similarly named entities are not consolidated without separate identity evidence.

Permit and reported-spud timing

No reported-spud record appears for Bee County in the reviewed window through September 26, 2026. That is not proof that no drilling occurred.

Texas reported-spud records are deduplicated by API-10 and spud date.

A permit is an authorization or filing-stage record. A reported spud is a later drilling-stage record. The two totals should not be added together or divided into a conversion rate because their reporting cadence, coverage, and population differ.

How Bee County records are assigned

Texas county assignment uses the three-digit county FIPS segment in a valid API identifier. Field geography is not used as a substitute because an oil or gas field can cross county boundaries. Rows that cannot support valid county attribution stay in the statewide dataset and are not forced into Bee County.

This public summary does not provide the full record-level table. One permit/API identity is cited above for the source-quality review. Full well details, coordinates, operator tables, and export fields remain in the app and API workflow.
