US Drilling Intelligence, Self-Serve.
No Sales Calls.
Historical well-permit records from 27 configured state sources, plus rig counts, DUC wells, and frac completions as normalized JSON. Check the data frontier for each state before relying on recent activity.
OilPriceAPI ships 2.2M+ historical permit records from 27 configured state sources, plus Baker Hughes rigs, EIA DUC wells and FracFocus completions. State freshness and fields vary by regulator.
US permit coverage — 27 configured state sources
Historical breadth, recent-record activity, and alert readiness are different things. The live panel classifies states only by whether the returned dataset contains a permit dated within its 30-day activity window. That is not a completeness or monitoring-readiness claim.
Records in the last 30 days (12)
No records in the last 30 days (15)
Plus Baker Hughes rig counts, EIA DUC wells, and FracFocus completions — all as normalized JSON.

Texas monitoring concierge beta
Monitoring is a separate product experiment from existing commodity API and Scale-plan entitlements. Start with a 14-day concierge trial; recurring alerts remain gated on Texas source reconciliation.
Texas Watch
- Texas county and operator watches
- Email delivery during the concierge beta
- 14-day concierge evaluation
Territory Pro
- Multiple Texas territory and operator watches
- Daily concierge delivery and onboarding
- SMS, webhook, and export preference preview
Need API request entitlements instead of monitoring? Existing commodity and Scale plans remain separate. View API pricing.
Focused drilling signals, with explicit limits
Choose the API for programmatic access or the Texas concierge beta for territory monitoring. Neither offer is presented as a replacement for a full subsurface, land, or production platform.
| Surface | What it provides | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Permit API | Normalized historical permit records and record-date metadata from configured state sources | Per-state freshness, fields, and completeness vary |
| Texas Watch | County/operator watch and concierge email delivery | Beta; recurring alerts depend on reconciliation |
| Territory Pro | Multiple Texas watches, onboarding, and delivery workflow | SMS, webhook, and export are preference previews in beta |
| Not included | Production, logs, title, decline curves, or analyst service | Use the regulator or a broader platform for those jobs |
When OilPriceAPI is the wrong tool
Use Enverus, Rextag, or S&P Commodity Insights if you need production data, well logs, decline/type curves, GIS/land-title workflows, or a dedicated analyst. We don't do those, and we won't pretend to. Come to OilPriceAPI when you want clean permit / rig / completion data in your pipeline today through a focused self-serve API or Texas monitoring beta.
Frequently asked questions
What drilling data does OilPriceAPI cover?
The historical permit database contains 2.2M+ records from 27 configured state sources. OilPriceAPI also provides Baker Hughes rig counts, EIA DUC wells, and FracFocus completions as normalized JSON over a REST API.
How fresh is the permit data?
Freshness and completeness vary by regulator. The coverage panel reports each state's latest permit-record date and recent-record activity; configured check cadence or a successful fetch is not presented as source-data freshness or alert readiness.
Can I try it without a sales call?
Yes — the free tier returns bounded well-permits (one state, trailing ~90 days). No card, no demo, no annual contract.
What is NOT included?
Production volumes, well logs, decline/type curves, GIS/mapping, and land/title — those belong to Enverus, Rextag, and S&P Commodity Insights. We ship drilling-activity signals only.
How fast can I get data versus an enterprise platform?
About 30 seconds with OilPriceAPI (self-serve sign-up → API key → first call), versus a typical multi-week demo-and-procurement cycle.
