US Drilling Intelligence, Self-Serve.
No Sales Calls.
Well permits across 27 US states, rig counts, DUC wells, and frac completions — as normalized JSON. Live in 30 seconds, not 3 procurement meetings.
OilPriceAPI ships US drilling intelligence as JSON: well permits across 27 states (2.2M+ records, 11 actively maintained), Baker Hughes rigs, EIA DUC wells, FracFocus completions. Live in 30 seconds, self-serve.
Live US coverage — 27 states, 11 maintained, 16 historical
We don't show a flag we can't back. The maintained states get fresh permits on an ongoing basis; the historical ones are depth you can backfill from but aren't refreshing daily. We state freshness per state rather than implying uniform real-time coverage.
Actively maintained (11)
Historical depth (16)
Plus Baker Hughes rig counts, EIA DUC wells, and FracFocus completions — all as normalized JSON.
Real permit JSON, not a mockup
Three steps to data: sign up, copy your key, make the call. No demo, no onboarding, no procurement.
1. Get your key
Sign up and copy your API key instantly. Free tier, no card required.
2. Make the call
One curl request returns normalized JSON. REST API, standard auth header.
3. Pipe it in
Drop the JSON straight into your model, app, or dashboard. No GUI in the way.

Time from interest to data: 30 seconds vs. 3 weeks
The core difference is the access model, not just the price.
| OilPriceAPI | Enverus | |
|---|---|---|
| Time from interest to data | ~30 seconds | ~3 weeks |
| Access model | Self-serve checkout | Sales-led, annual contract |
| Drilling data | Permits (27 states), rigs, DUC, completions | Permits + production + logs + decline curves |
| Format | Normalized JSON, REST API | Platform GUI + API + feeds |
| Pricing | Transparent, no lock-in | Quote-based, typically five-to-six figures/yr |
| Try before you buy | Demo with a sales engineer | |
| Analyst support |
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, self-serve, at a fraction of an enterprise contract.
Frequently asked questions
What drilling data does OilPriceAPI cover?
Well permits across 27 US states (~2.2M records, 16 actively maintained), Baker Hughes rig counts, EIA DUC wells, and FracFocus completions — all as normalized JSON over a REST API.
How fresh is the permit data?
The 16 actively maintained states are refreshed on an ongoing basis; the other 11 are historical snapshots. We state freshness per state rather than implying uniform real-time coverage.
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.
