New Mexico Permit And County Activity Watchlist
New Mexico OCD permit activity, Eddy and Lea county signals, operator labels, reported-spud context, and source-date caveats.
New Mexico should anchor a recurring county-and-operator activity page because Lea and Eddy County searches already match the way buyers look for current Delaware Basin activity.

Commercial takeaways
What the source records are telling a buyer
New Mexico pages should use county language because Eddy and Lea are high-intent buyer searches.
The May permit window cooled 8.8% versus April, while EOG, Mewbourne, Earthstone, and Tap Rock still showed positive operator movement.
The public page should show selected county/operator evidence, then push serious users toward the current table, map, export, or alert workflow.
Permit and reported-spud rows should stay separated so readers understand source stage and timing.
Buyer question
Which state-source records show current activity, and what should my team do next?
This page is designed to be useful before a sales conversation. It shows selected evidence and caveats, then points qualified users to the current EnergyNetWatch table, map, export, alert, or API workflow.
Top-line SEO activity targets
Permits, spuds, production, and county activity
This is the shape of the recurring Friday page. The weekly pull should fill week-over-week and month-over-month deltas before anything is published.

Activity signals
Source-backed signals and follow-up actions

Source notes
How to read this page
- New Mexico permit rows and reported-spud rows answer different questions.
- Read-only source pull was reviewed on June 19, 2026. Permit date uses COALESCE(issue_date, filed_date); canceled records are excluded where identifiable.
- County labels may require county-code mapping when source rows do not carry clean county names.
- Public watchlists should 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 read, 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.
