ENDURING RESOURCES, LLC leads this public preview with 7 permits, or 50.0% of the county total. The 4 displayed labels account for 14 permits (100.0%). Operator names are preserved as filed; similarly named entities are not consolidated without separate identity evidence.

Permit and reported-spud timing

5 deduplicated reported-spud events appear in the separate window through August 27, 2026.

A permit is an authorization or filing-stage record. A reported spud is a later drilling-stage record. The two totals should not be added together or divided into a conversion rate because their reporting cadence, coverage, and population differ.

How Rio Arriba County records are assigned

New Mexico county assignment uses the source county code and retains the source county name. Permit and reported-spud dates come from the New Mexico source record. Operator names remain source-filed labels unless separate evidence supports consolidation.

This method produces a county lookup page that can be refreshed from the same state snapshot. It does not publish individual permit numbers, API identifiers, well names, coordinates, or the complete operator table. Those record-level fields remain in the app and API workflow.
