Frequently asked questions

Texas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Louisiana, Kansas, Mississippi, California, Alaska, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota, Virginia, Alabama, Indiana, and Florida.
How current is the permit data?+
Most state permit data is updated weekly. Texas (RRC) and North Dakota (NDIC) updates are typically available within 3-5 business days of the state filing. We note the last-updated timestamp on every record.
Does OilPriceAPI replace Enverus/DrillingInfo?+
For permit tracking, rig counts, and EIA report data delivered via API — yes. We don't provide well logs, completion design, or decline curve analysis. If your primary use case is programmatic permit data and activity monitoring, OilPriceAPI covers it at a fraction of the cost.
Can I filter permits by operator, county, or well type?+
Yes. The /well-permits endpoint supports filtering by state, county, operator name, well type (oil/gas/injection/disposal), and date range. Combine filters for targeted queries.
Is historical permit data available?+
Yes. Historical permits are available going back several years depending on the state. Use the date_from and date_to parameters on the permits endpoint.
