Search this directory by company name, or look up the operator listed on your lease, division order, or royalty check stub — that is the operator of record. Each operator's profile page lists the wells it operates and the counties where it operates wells, sourced from Buckhead Energy analysis of public oil and gas data.
The operator of record is the company the state regulator holds responsible for drilling, producing, and plugging a well. It is not necessarily the company that owns the most of the well (the working-interest owners) and is separate from the mineral and royalty owners who are paid on production.
Thousands of operators have profile pages here, each built from Buckhead Energy analysis of public oil and gas data and refreshed on a monthly cadence. Use the search box to jump to a specific company.
A well-capitalized, active operator with recent permits and low downtime generally supports stronger, more predictable royalty income than an inactive one — which affects what your interest is worth. This directory is informational only, not a valuation.
