Key Takeaways
- North Dakota Burlington showed 474 trailing 12-month permits, 129 trailing 90-day permits, and 20 trailing 90-day reported spuds in the reviewed public pull.
- Burlington remains a material state-source label in North Dakota, Texas, and New Mexico.
- The durable operator page links to the Q1 2026 event brief instead of replacing it.
EnergyNetWatch tracks ConocoPhillips through parent-company and source-label records, including Burlington Resources.
The current public signal is a Lower 48 identity screen with a strong Bakken activity layer. The clearest current record set is North Dakota Burlington: 474 trailing-12-month permits, 129 trailing-90-day permits, and 20 trailing-90-day reported spuds in the reviewed public pull.
Key Takeaways
| Signal | Current public read |
|---|---|
| Parent company | ConocoPhillips |
| Main source-label issue | COP, Burlington Resources, ConocoPhillips Alaska, and legacy Conoco labels |
| Main activity layer | North Dakota Burlington Resources |
| Current permit signal | 129 trailing-90-day North Dakota Burlington permits |
| Current spud signal | 20 trailing-90-day North Dakota Burlington reported spuds |
| First request | Current COP/Burlington state-source identity and activity table |
Current Operator Signal
Burlington matters because state records can preserve source labels that do not look like the parent-company name. A ConocoPhillips account screen that ignores Burlington can miss Bakken, Texas, and New Mexico source-record context.
This page is the durable COP/Burlington operator layer. The Q1 2026 brief remains a historical event page and should feed this page rather than replace it.
Source Labels Reviewed
| Source-label group | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| ConocoPhillips | Parent and current operating identity in several source views. |
| Burlington Resources | Material state-source label in North Dakota, Texas, and New Mexico. |
| ConocoPhillips Alaska | Alaska production and project context should stay separate from Lower 48 activity tables. |
| Legacy Conoco labels | Older or legacy labels can matter for historical review. |
State And County Activity
North Dakota Burlington is the clearest current activity layer in the reviewed pull. New Mexico and Texas add production and permit context, but the labels should stay visible.
For a commercial or data user, the first table should show source label, state, county, production month, permit count, reported-spud count, latest source dates, and map context.
Permit And Spud Signal
| Field | Current public signal |
|---|---|
| North Dakota Burlington 12M permits | 474 |
| North Dakota Burlington 90D permits | 129 |
| North Dakota Burlington 90D reported spuds | 20 |
| North Dakota Burlington latest permit | May 19, 2026 |
| North Dakota Burlington latest spud | May 25, 2026 |
The permit/spud layer is not a company production reconciliation. It is a source-record activity screen by filed operator label.
What To Monitor Next
- North Dakota Burlington permit and spud cadence.
- New Mexico ConocoPhillips and Burlington Permian source-record layer.
- Texas Burlington production timing using latest nonzero production month.
- Alaska project context as a separate project-monitoring layer.
- Legacy label treatment before parent-company rollups.
