Action takeaways
What the source records show
New Mexico pages use county language because Eddy and Lea are high-intent searches.
New Mexico permit records eased 13.3% across equal 30-day windows: 360 from July 2-31 versus 415 in the prior period.
The latest seven-day window rose 10.3% to 128 records, while Eddy increased and Lea cooled across the latest equal 30-day comparison.
The page shows leading county and operator evidence, then routes qualified teams toward the current table, map, export, or alert workflow.
Permit and reported-spud rows stay separated so source stage and timing stay clear.

Signal report packages
Requestable reports tied to this state.
The state watchlist is the durable public page. Signal report pages package selected source rows into current report, CSV, and app-review requests.
Source clocks
Source windows and freshness context
These source clocks keep permit, spud, production, and activity records separated instead of forcing them into one misleading total.
Latest 30-day permits
360
New Mexico permit records from July 2-31, 2026, on the issue-date or filed-date basis.
Prior 30-day permits
415
New Mexico permit records from June 2-July 1, 2026, on the same date basis.
Latest seven-day permits
128
July 25-31 permit records versus 116 records in the immediately preceding seven days.
90-day reported spuds
312
New Mexico rows with a reported spud date in the 90-day window through July 29, tracked separately from permits.
Activity signals
Source-backed signals and follow-up actions
The watchlist separates source evidence from follow-up context. That keeps permit, production, spud, and infrastructure records from being treated as the same type of activity.

Source notes
How to use this page
- New Mexico permit rows and reported-spud rows answer different questions.
- Read-only source pull was reviewed on Aug. 3, 2026. Permit date uses COALESCE(issue_date, filed_date).
- County labels may require county-code mapping when source rows do not carry clean county names.
- Public watchlists name source windows and avoid implying permit records are drilled wells.
Caveats
What this public page does not claim
- The public watchlist is a selected source-backed signal, not the full operator or county table.
- New Mexico source windows and publication cadence can differ from Texas and North Dakota.
- Exact source fields, maps, alerts, exports, and API use require app access.
