|---|---|
| Signal grade | Active watchlist |
| Permit signal | 67 permits in the reviewed 90D window |
| Spud signal | 4 reported spuds in the same window |

What Changed Recently
| Signal | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Eddy County permits, 90D window | 45; latest reviewed permit June 10, 2026 |
| Lea County permits, 90D window | 22; latest reviewed permit May 29, 2026 |

Mewbourne's New Mexico activity needs county, permit-date, reported-spud-date, and source-label detail before it becomes useful account intelligence.
The narrower signal: 45 Eddy County permits, 22 Lea County permits, and only 4 reported spuds across the same reviewed 90-day window. That is a permit-heavy operator signal, with Eddy as the first county to check.

County Snapshot
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Lead county | Eddy |
| Eddy County 90D permits | 45 |
| Eddy County 90D reported spuds | 3 |
| Eddy County 12M permits | 192 |
| Lea County 90D permits | 22 |
| Lea County 90D reported spuds | 1 |
| Lea County 12M permits | 90 |
| Total shown | 67 permits; 4 reported spuds; 282 trailing-12M permits |
Eddy is the first county to check.
- Eddy has about two-thirds of the displayed 90D permit count.
- Lea is smaller in this pull, but still current enough to keep on the watchlist.
- Reported spuds are visible in both counties, but the count is light relative to permits.
- The follow-up should keep county and source-date fields visible instead of collapsing Mewbourne into one statewide line.
Where Mewbourne Is Active
The public EnergyNetWatch snapshot shown here covers Eddy and Lea counties only.
The brief uses the source-filed operator label MEWBOURNE OIL CO. It does not merge every possible affiliate, historic row, or parent-company interpretation into one public total.
| Question | Public answer in this brief |
|---|---|
| Which operator label? | MEWBOURNE OIL CO |
| Which counties are shown? | Eddy and Lea |
| Is the evidence permit-stage only? | No. The snapshot also shows reported spuds. |
| Is this a production ranking? | No. Production is a separate source layer. |
| Is this a full current export? | No. It is a selected public snapshot. |
Recent Permit And Spud Signals
| Signal | What to check |
|---|---|
| 90D permits | 67 across Eddy and Lea |
| 90D reported spuds | 4 across Eddy and Lea |
| 12M permits | 282 across Eddy and Lea |
| Eddy share | 45 of 67 reviewed 90D permits |
| Lea share | 22 of 67 reviewed 90D permits |
This is the account-screening use case.
A service company, supplier, or commercial user does not need a broad company description to act on this. They need the permit rows, reported-spud rows, issue dates, county fields, and export/map options.
How It Compares Inside The Eddy And Lea Pull
Mewbourne had the second-largest Eddy County permit count in the reviewed top-operator table, behind Permian Resources Operating, LLC.
In Lea County, Mewbourne was smaller than EOG Resources, Avant Operating II, and Permian Resources in the reviewed 90-day permit count.
That puts the signal in the right place: Mewbourne is not the biggest New Mexico operator signal in every county, but it has a clear Eddy-led permit table and a second Lea layer.
Infrastructure And Midstream Signals
| Layer | Public page treatment | App follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| New Mexico facilities and midstream | Not expanded in this public brief. The page stays focused on permits, reported spuds, counties, and source dates. | Review operator-linked facility, surface, gathering, and gas-waste rows in the app before making any project claim. |
| Why limited here | Public copy shows that EnergyNetWatch can connect the evidence classes without publishing the full lead table. | Request the current Mewbourne source-label table with maps, exports, alerts, and API fields. |
What To Watch Next
| Watch item | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Eddy permit activity | 45 permits in 90D; latest reviewed permit June 10 |
| Lea permit activity | 22 permits in 90D; latest reviewed permit May 29 |
| Reported spuds | 4 shown across Eddy and Lea |
| County mix | Eddy leads the current pull |
| Source freshness | Latest NM permit June 12; latest NM reported spud June 8 |
The next check is simple: do later source updates add more reported-spud rows behind the permit count?
How To Use The Mewbourne Snapshot
| User | Practical use |
|---|---|
| Service-company BD | Start with Eddy County account follow-up, then watch Lea as a second activity layer |
| Land or commercial user | Review county concentration and source timing before treating the operator as one broad New Mexico signal |
| Analyst | Separate permit activity from reported-spud follow-through before inferring operational momentum |
| Data/API buyer | Request fields that can be refreshed: operator label, county code, issue date, spud date, source date, and record type |
What To Request
The requestable table is:
Request the current Mewbourne New Mexico permit and reported-spud table.
That request should include Eddy and Lea county rows, permit issue dates, reported-spud dates, county-code fields, operator labels as filed, source freshness, and export/API options.
From there, the next workflow can become a county map, account list, source-date alert, or API feed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What operator label is used for this Mewbourne brief?
The reviewed table uses the source-filed operator label MEWBOURNE OIL CO.
Is this a production ranking?
No. This brief reviews permit records and reported-spud records. Production is a separate source layer with a different publication cadence and a different question.
Why does Eddy County matter more in this pull?
Eddy County carries the larger current Mewbourne permit count: 45 90-day permit records versus 22 in Lea County.
Why include Lea County if Eddy leads?
Lea still has current permit activity and a reported-spud record in the reviewed window. For operator monitoring, a second county layer can matter even when it is smaller than the lead county.
What does EnergyNetWatch add beyond the public table?
The public page shows selected rows and rounded counts. App access supports fuller current tables, source dates, maps, exports, alerts, saved workflows, and API delivery.
