Quarterly/event snapshot
This page is a historical source-record snapshot tied to a specific company update or activity event. It links back into durable operator and state workflows.
Key Takeaways
- Permian Resources-linked current labels carried 172 permits in 90D and 515 permits in 12M across Texas and New Mexico.
- New Mexico carried the lead source-record signal, with 146 of 172 trailing-90-day permits and Eddy/Lea as the first county tables.
- Texas well and facility rows remain important support layers, but the current permit/spud screen is New Mexico-led in this pull.
EnergyNetWatch reviewed Permian Resources-linked Texas and New Mexico state-source records on June 4, 2026.
Operator Signal
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Signal grade | Active watchlist |
| Permit signal | 172 permits in the reviewed 90D window across current TX/NM labels |
| Spud signal | 8 reported spuds in the 90D window, all under the New Mexico Permian Resources Operating, LLC label in this pull |
| County concentration | Eddy and Lea, New Mexico carry the first source-record signal |
| Label discipline | PR Operating, Earthstone, and Texas uppercase labels are shown separately |
| Production context | Texas well records are deeper by count; New Mexico rows carry March 2026 production-month context |
| First follow-up | New Mexico PR Operating county table, then Texas PR Operating permit/facility rows |
Permian Resources also reported Q1 2026 production and guidance, but the EnergyNetWatch signal is the source-record split: permits, reported spuds, counties, labels, wells, production-month context, and facility rows.
At A Glance
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Company-reported Q1 production | 412.9 MBoe/d |

What Changed Recently
| Signal | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Company update | Q1 2026 production of 412.9 MBoe/d; midpoint of full-year oil guidance raised to 192.5 MBbls/d |
| State-source permit signal | 172 trailing-90D permits and 515 trailing-12M permits across reviewed current labels |
| New Mexico concentration | 146 of 172 trailing-90D permits and 472 of 515 trailing-12M permits |
| Spud signal | 8 trailing-90D reported spuds, all under Permian Resources Operating, LLC in New Mexico |
| Texas support layer | Texas PR Operating permit and facility rows are visible, but the current permit/spud signal is New Mexico-led |
The main source-record signal is New Mexico first.
That does not erase the Texas footprint. It means the current account-screening table should start with Eddy and Lea, then use Texas records as a supporting layer.

Company-Reported Context
Permian Resources announced Q1 2026 results on May 6, 2026. The company reported:
- 412.9 MBoe/d of total average production
- 192.3 MBbls/d of oil production
- $815 million of cash provided by operating activities
- $466 million of cash capital expenditures
- $513 million of adjusted free cash flow
- full-year oil guidance midpoint raised to 192.5 MBbls/d
- total production guidance kept at 400,000 to 430,000 Boe/d
The company also reported about 40 bolt-on and ground-game transactions for $205 million, a new five-year revolving credit facility with $3.0 billion of elected commitments, and redemption of $550 million of legacy Earthstone 8.00% senior notes due 2027.
That company context helps explain why the operator matters. The state-source tables show where public records support follow-up.

Labels with no trailing-12-month permit or reported-spud activity are excluded from the public current-activity table. Historical source rows can still matter for identity review, but they are not presented here as current activity signals.
County Snapshot

|---|---|
| Lead county signal | Eddy and Lea, New Mexico |
| PR Operating NM Eddy 12M permits | 287 |

Well And Production-Month Context
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Texas PR Operating well records | 2,263 |
| Texas latest production month | November 2025 |

| Earthstone NM well records | 104 |
| Earthstone NM wells with 2026 production month | 103 |
| Earthstone NM producing/active rows | 102 |
The Texas well-record row is deeper by count. The New Mexico rows carry fresher 2026 production-month context in this pull.
Production Rollup Pointers
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
| PR Operating NM operator number 372165 | 38,890,575 approximate 12M BOE; 338 producing wells |
| PR Operating NM operator number 371449 | 515,933 approximate 12M BOE; 338 producing wells |
| PR Operating TX operator number 100852 | 31,606,450 approximate 12M BOE; 2,263 producing wells |
| PR Operating TX row without operator number | 2,420,436 approximate 12M BOE; 2,263 producing wells |
| Earthstone NM operator number 331165 | 8,318,176 approximate 12M BOE; 100 producing wells |
| Earthstone NM operator number 373986 | 1,847,553 approximate 12M BOE; 100 producing wells |
Some New Mexico labels have multiple operator-number rows. This table is source-label context, not a single consolidated company-production total.
Texas Facility Context
EnergyNetWatch records also show Texas facility-permit rows under PERMIAN RESOURCES OPERATING LLC.
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
Reeves OTHER facility rows | 191 |
Reeves TANK_BATTERY facility rows | 68 |
Reagan OTHER facility rows | 26 |
Ward OTHER facility rows | 22 |
Upton OTHER facility rows | 9 |
| Latest listed first-seen date | April 22, 2026 |
This is a source-record table. It is not a capacity, construction-status, or in-service claim.
The public page keeps those rows at category/count level. The current facility lead table, map context, exports, alerts, and API fields are app workflow outputs, not a free public account list.
What To Watch Next
| Watch item | Current signal |
|---|---|
| New Mexico permits | 146 trailing-90D permits across reviewed New Mexico current labels |
| PR Operating rows | 155 trailing-90D permits across TX/NM PR Operating labels |
| Reported spuds | 8 trailing-90D spuds, all under NM PR Operating in this pull |
| Earthstone NM | 30 trailing-12M permits and 2026 production-month context |
| Texas facilities | Reeves and Reagan facility-permit rows are visible under PR Operating |
The next source-record question is whether later Texas permit activity accelerates, or whether the New Mexico permit base converts into more reported-spud rows.
What To Request
The requestable table is:
Request the current Permian Resources TX/NM permit, spud, well, production-month, and facility table.
The export should keep operator labels separate, preserve county fields, show source dates, and allow map/export/API follow-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as Permian Resources' company-reported production?
No. The company-reported production figure gives the consolidated corporate reporting view. This briefing reviews selected TX/NM state-source records visible in EnergyNetWatch.
Which operator labels are included in the public current-activity table?
The public table includes Permian Resources Operating, LLC in New Mexico, PERMIAN RESOURCES OPERATING, LLC in Texas, and Earthstone Operating, LLC in New Mexico. Rows without trailing-12-month permit or reported-spud activity are excluded from the public current-activity table.
What is the strongest practical takeaway?
For this pull, start with New Mexico. The reviewed current labels carried 172 trailing-90-day permits across TX/NM, and 146 of those were in New Mexico. Eddy and Lea carried the largest reviewed county rows.
How should Texas facility rows be used?
Facility records should be used as supporting context. They can point to locations and operational context for follow-up, but they are not standalone proof of capacity, construction status, or in-service timing.

Data notes
Company-reported figures are from Permian Resources Q1 2026 results and investor-presentation materials reviewed June 4, 2026. EnergyNetWatch figures are reviewed app records pulled June 4, 2026 for selected Permian Resources-linked TX/NM source labels. Permit, spud, facility, and production dates use different source bases and should not be treated as one company-level production total.
