Key Takeaways

  • Reviewed OXY-family TX/NM labels show 167 combined trailing 90-day permits and 6 trailing 90-day reported spuds.
  • OXY, Occidental, Anadarko-linked, and OXYROCK labels should stay visible before a user creates an account or county follow-up list.
  • The durable operator page links to the Q1 2026 event brief instead of replacing it.

EnergyNetWatch tracks Occidental through public source records that do not always use one clean parent-company name.

The current public signal is a Permian operator-identity screen: reviewed OXY-family Texas and New Mexico records showed 167 combined trailing-90-day permits, 572 combined trailing-12-month permits, and 6 combined trailing-90-day reported spuds across supported source labels.

Current Operator Signal

The main issue is not whether Occidental has Permian scale. The issue is which filed operator labels should be kept visible before a user ranks counties, permits, spuds, production windows, or account follow-up.

Occidental reports at the company level. State records can preserve legal, acquired, subsidiary, or legacy labels. That means an OXY account screen should not force every row into one total, but it also should not ignore Anadarko-linked or OXYROCK rows where source evidence supports the review.

Source Labels Reviewed

Source-label groupWhy it matters
OXY USACurrent OXY-family activity can appear under this label.
Occidental PermianPermian rows may preserve a more specific operating label.
Anadarko-linked labelsAcquired labels can remain relevant in state records.
OXYROCK / CrownRock-related labelsAcquisition-cycle records need explicit identity review.
OXY WTP / related labelsSome rows require asset and entity review before use in a parent-company table.

State And County Activity

The current public screen is weighted toward Texas and New Mexico. Texas showed the broader permit layer in the reviewed pull, while New Mexico carried a narrower current label set.

For a commercial team, the first action is not a broad company profile. It is a county and source-label table: operator label, state, county, issue date, reported-spud follow-through, source date, and map context.

Permit And Spud Signal

FieldCurrent public signal
Combined TX/NM 90D permits167
Combined TX/NM 12M permits572
Combined TX/NM 90D reported spuds6

Permits show filed activity. Reported spuds show drilling-start evidence where the source reports it. Production windows answer a different question and should stay separate.

What To Monitor Next

  • Texas OXY-family permits after the latest reviewed May records.
  • New Mexico OXY activity after the latest reviewed April records.
  • Anadarko-linked spud follow-through.
  • OXYROCK and CrownRock-related source-label rows.
  • Facility, T-4, and infrastructure records near active counties.

Sources And Data Notes

This durable operator page summarizes the current public EnergyNetWatch OXY-family source-record screen. Company-reported production and state-source permit/spud records answer different questions. Permit counts are activity screens by operator label, state, county, and issue date; they are not company-reported production totals.
