Living operator brief
This page is maintained as an operator intelligence brief, with refreshed permits, spuds, production windows, counties, source labels, and watch items where available.
Key Takeaways
- The current matched OXY-family pull shows 188 combined trailing 90-day permits and 8 trailing 90-day reported-spud rows.
- OXY, Occidental, Anadarko-linked, OXYROCK, and CrownRock-related labels can change the county list, infrastructure review, and export scope.
- The current OXY-family activity table should include labels, counties, issue dates, spud dates, production-month context, maps, exports, alerts, and API fields.
Occidental activity can appear under OXY, Occidental, Anadarko-linked, OXYROCK, and CrownRock-related names in public records. Grouping those rows too early can hide where the activity was actually filed.
EnergyNetWatch refreshed Texas and New Mexico records tied to OXY-family labels on August 8, 2026. The current matched pull shows 188 combined trailing-90-day permits, 650 combined trailing-12-month permits, and 8 combined trailing-90-day reported-spud rows.
Key Takeaways
- OXY-family Texas and New Mexico records create an account-review starting point when the filed operator labels stay visible.
- Permits show where activity was filed. Reported spuds help show where activity moved from paperwork into drilling evidence.
- Anadarko-linked, OXYROCK, and CrownRock-related labels can change the county list, infrastructure review, and export scope.
- The current OXY-family activity table should include labels, counties, issue dates, spud dates, production-month context, maps, exports, alerts, and API fields.

Latest State Source Clock
This page uses the August 8 current operator pull. The state source clocks reached Texas permit records through July 24, 2026 and reported spuds through July 21, 2026, and New Mexico permit records through July 31, 2026 and reported spuds through July 29, 2026. Complete modeled production was available through May 2026, but production is not included in the counts above.
The state dates describe source availability; the operator counts above are the matched OXY-family rows from that pull.

How To Read The OXY Activity
Start with the filed label, then rank the counties. That order keeps OXY, Anadarko-linked, OXYROCK, and CrownRock-related rows from disappearing into one parent-company total.
Company reports explain Occidental at the parent level. State records show the filed operator names attached to permits, reported spuds, production windows, and infrastructure records.
Why OXY-Family Labels Need Review
Different labels can point to different source rows, counties, and follow-up work. OXY, Occidental, Anadarko-linked, OXYROCK, and CrownRock-related names should stay separate until the record set is reviewed.
After review, the rows can be grouped into a parent-company view, county list, permit follow-up table, infrastructure screen, or API workflow.
Source Labels Reviewed
| Source-label group | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| OXY USA | Current OXY-family activity can appear under this label. |
| Occidental Permian | Permian rows may preserve a more specific operating label. |
| Anadarko-linked labels | Acquired labels can remain relevant in state records. |
| OXYROCK / CrownRock-related labels | Acquisition-cycle records need explicit identity review. |
| OXY WTP / related labels | Some rows require asset and entity review before use in a parent-company table. |
State And County Activity
Texas carried 130 of the current 188 matched 90-day permits and 4 reported-spud rows. New Mexico carried 58 permits and 4 reported-spud rows. The state comparison should not be read as one uniform Permian signal because the source systems and label sets differ.
A useful account table starts with operator label, state, county, issue date, reported-spud follow-through, source date, and map context.
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 July 24 source clock.
- New Mexico OXY activity after the July 31 source clock.
- Anadarko-linked spud follow-through.
- OXYROCK and CrownRock-related source-label rows.
- Facility, T-4, and infrastructure records near active counties.
Infrastructure And Midstream Signals
| Layer | Public page treatment | App follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Facility, T-4, and infrastructure records | Included as a follow-up category, not a free OXY-family lead list. | Review OXY, Anadarko-linked, OXYROCK, and related source labels against route, facility, county, map, and source-date records. |
| Why limited here | The public page shows the evidence category without publishing the current lead table. | Request the current OXY-family package with maps, exports, alerts, and API fields. |
What This Page Does Not Prove
This page does not prove the full current asset structure of Occidental, Anadarko, OXYROCK, or CrownRock-related entities. It does not replace company filings, land records, reserve estimates, or private commercial datasets.
It uses public permit, spud, production-window, infrastructure-category, and operator-label records to define the first account-screening table. The records should be checked again as state sources refresh.

Sources And Data Notes
Company-reported production and state permit/spud records answer different questions. Permit counts are filed-activity records by operator label, state, county, and issue date; they are not company-reported production totals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Occidental permit mean the well was drilled?
No. A permit is a filed activity record. A reported spud is separate drilling-start evidence, and neither record is a completion or production result.
Why are OXY, Occidental, and related labels kept separate?
State records can preserve the filed operator or subsidiary label. Keeping those labels visible prevents a parent-company total from hiding the county, date, or source row behind it.
How current are the OXY counts on this page?
The counts are from the August 8, 2026 read-only operator refresh. The page also lists the Texas and New Mexico source clocks so the state-specific pull remains visible.
Data notes
EnergyNetWatch read-only operator refresh run August 8, 2026. Texas permit rows run through July 24, 2026 and reported-spud rows through July 21, 2026; New Mexico permit rows run through July 31, 2026 and reported-spud rows through July 29, 2026. Permit and spud records are filed-activity and drilling-start records by source label, not company-reported production totals.
