Where the data comes from

Every number on this site is built from public records published by the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC), the state agency of record for oil & gas. We compile and structure them — we don't originate them.

Current source vintage: permits 2026-08-10.

The WOGCC wells feed

🛢Well permits. The WOGCC's public wells dataset — operator, county, filed/status date, permit status, and surface location, including whether the well is horizontal. This is our live signal: 7,479 permits, 3,398 in the last year. A new permit near your tract — especially a horizontal well, which can produce minerals a mile away — is how you learn drilling is coming.

This is a permits-only model: we do not currently carry completion, well-status-lifecycle, or lease-production data for Wyoming (unlike our Texas site, which does). If that changes we will say so here, not imply it silently.

What our coordinates mean

activity is mapped to the surface hole location (SHL) the operator filed with the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission — not the mineral tract you own; treat every map point as approximate.

We never claim to have located your mineral tract. We map activity — the surface location an operator filed with the WOGCC — and tell you when it's near a location you describe. Confirming what you own is a job for a title opinion or a landman, not a data feed.

How current it is

Each page shows the vintage of the records behind it, and our alert engine only advances its marker past activity it has actually processed — so we never imply the data is fresher than it is. If the source feed is stale or broken on a given run, the run is skipped loudly rather than reported as a fresh, empty result.

This report compiles and structures publicly available oil & gas records from the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC) — drilling permit applications (APDs), operator, status, and location. We monitor development activity and public filings near a location you tell us about; we do NOT determine mineral ownership, confirm what you own, or provide legal, tax, or investment advice. Nothing here replaces a title opinion, a landman, or the official WOGCC record. Activity is mapped to the surface hole location (SHL) the operator filed with the WOGCC, not your mineral tract. Data is current only as of the source vintage shown on the page. Our total liability for any report is capped at the amount you paid for it. Found an error?
