Pre-2017 data (Part 615 permits only)

The following table lists the total permits issued by year under Part 615 - Supervisor of Wells

Important notes for data prior to 2017:

  • Totals prior to 2017 are only for Part 615; these totals do not include Part 625 permits.
  • *The sequential 5-digit permit numbering no longer coincides exactly with the number of oil and gas permits issued. Since early 2017, Part 625 Mineral Well permits have been processed in the same internal database as Part 615 Oil and Gas Well permits and Part 625 permits are now included in that same numbering system.
