## Page Highlights

**Recent Drilling Activity**: Comprehensive table listing all 200 permits filed over 24 months, including permit date, well name, API number, county, state, formation/play, and lateral length. Data sourced from Texas Railroad Commission and Oklahoma Corporation Commission filings, with monthly refresh cycles.

**Geographic Concentration**: EOG's drilling activity concentrates in eight Texas counties, with Webb County (South Texas Eagle Ford) and Loving County (Delaware Basin) representing nearly half of all permits. No Oklahoma permits appear in the top counties list despite one Oklahoma well in the full dataset.

**Formation/Play Distribution**: Three plays dominate EOG's permit activity—Gulf Coast Basin (primarily Eagle Ford Shale) with 110 permits, Permian Basin (Delaware and Midland sub-basins) with 57 permits, and minimal South Oklahoma Folded Belt activity with 1 permit. 32 permits lack formation/play designation in the dataset.

**Permit Timeline**: Permits span from October 2025 through May 2026 in the displayed records, with clusters of activity in specific areas. Webb County shows concentrated pad development with multiple wells permitted on the same dates (e.g., HACHAR series with 17 wells permitted May 18-20, 2026).

**Well Naming Conventions**: EOG uses consistent naming patterns including unit designations (e.g., "LINK VJ RANCH 26-23 H"), alphanumeric suffixes indicating well sequence (e.g., "SAND 2H," "SAND 3H"), and geographic identifiers tied to lease or unit names.

**Lateral Length Trends**: Where reported, Gulf Coast Basin laterals average 10,000-14,000 feet, while Permian Basin laterals range 7,500-11,500 feet. Several permits show no lateral data, likely representing early-stage applications pending final well design.
