}Frequently Asked Questions About Finding Wells Near You
Use our free well lookup tool above. Enter your address, city, or ZIP code and select a search radius (5-50 miles). The tool searches our database of over 500,000 well permits across 27 US states and shows you all drilling activity in your area with operator names, permit dates, and well types.
Each well permit result includes: operator name, well name, permit date, county and state, permit type (new drill, recompletion, etc.), well type (oil, gas, or both), target formation, and API number. The results also show the approximate distance from your search location.
Well locations are based on latitude/longitude coordinates filed with state regulatory agencies. Accuracy varies by state and permit type, but most permits are accurate to within a few hundred feet. For precise legal boundaries, always verify with official county records.
Common reasons include: landowners researching drilling activity near their property, mineral rights owners tracking development, investors monitoring operator activity, real estate buyers doing due diligence, researchers studying drilling patterns, and residents staying informed about local energy development.
