The permit feed reflects the WVDEP's currently active-permit list, so early years are partial.
This report compiles and structures publicly available oil & gas records from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Office of Oil and Gas — drilling permit applications, operator, status, and location. We monitor development activity and public filings near a location you tell us about; we do NOT determine mineral ownership, confirm what you own, or provide legal, tax, or investment advice. Nothing here replaces a title opinion, a landman, or the official WVDEP record. Activity is mapped to the well surface location the operator filed with the WVDEP, not your mineral tract. Data is current only as of the source vintage shown on the page. Our total liability for any report is capped at the amount you paid for it. Found an error? Reply to any email and a human will correct it.
