Callahan 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.

Leading source-filed operator labels

Permit and reported-spud timing

No reported-spud record appears for Callahan 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 Callahan 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 Callahan County.

This method produces a county lookup page that can be refreshed from the same state snapshot. It does not publish individual permit numbers, API identifiers, well names, coordinates, or the complete operator table. Those record-level fields remain in the app and API workflow.
