Company Overview
Staghorn Petroleum II, LLC is a privately held, Tulsa-based independent E&P focused primarily on Oklahoma’s Anadarko Basin. The company’s strategy combines acquisitions with the redevelopment of existing oil and gas fields, including horizontal drilling opportunities within its legacy acreage.
Third-party production data reports approximately 244 active wells associated with Staghorn Petroleum II as of April 2026. Because third-party well databases use different definitions of active and producing wells, this should be treated as the best available current active-well estimate rather than a definitive lifetime well count.

Well Permit Activity
Oil & Gas Leads identified 34 Staghorn well-permit records from 2020 through August 2026.
Of those permits:
- 34 total permit records
- 24 have an Activity Date
- 10 do not yet have an Activity Date
- Approximately 71% of permits have progressed to a recorded activity event
Permit activity by year:
Year Permits 2020 6 2021 6 2022 4 2023 7 2024 6 2025 4 2026 YTD 1 Total 34
The permit history demonstrates relatively consistent development rather than a single short-lived drilling campaign. Staghorn recorded permits in every year from 2020 through 2026.
More importantly for sales targeting, activity has continued recently. Staghorn had four permits in 2025, including three in Grady County, followed by another Grady County permit dated August 17, 2026.
Recent activity dates include:
- September 9, 2025 — Caddo County
- November 14, 2025 — Grady County
- January 2, 2026 — Grady County
- February 22, 2026 — Grady County
- August 17, 2026 — new Grady County permit, with no Activity Date yet
This suggests the Grady County development program remains active and provides an immediate permit-based sales trigger.
Geographic Concentration
Staghorn’s permit portfolio is overwhelmingly concentrated in the Anadarko Basin.
County Permit Records Share Grady 12 35% Blaine 7 21% Dewey 7 21% Major 4 12% Caddo 3 9% Kay 1 3% Total 34 100%
Approximately 97% of the permit records are associated with Anadarko Basin counties.
Key Development Area — Grady County
Grady County is the primary current sales signal. It represents 12 of the 34 permits and has increasingly become the focus of Staghorn’s recent development.
Of the five permits issued from August 2025 through August 2026, four were in Grady County.
This indicates a shift from Staghorn’s historically broader Anadarko footprint toward a more concentrated redevelopment program in Grady County.
Account Ranking
Ranking: Next Tier — High Priority
Staghorn should be classified as a Next Tier account, rather than simply Steady State.
The company has many characteristics of a Steady State operator—a sizeable mature well inventory, existing producing assets and continued requirements for maintenance, artificial lift, chemicals, workovers and production optimization.
However, the recent permit pattern moves Staghorn into the Next Tier category:
Steady State characteristics
- Approximately 244 active wells reported by third-party data.
- Large existing asset base creates recurring production-related spending.
- Development history extends across multiple Anadarko Basin counties.
- Acquisition and redevelopment strategy emphasizes extracting additional value from existing fields.
Next Tier signals
- Permits have been recorded every year since 2020.
- Four permits were issued in 2025.
- New wells progressed to Activity Dates in late 2025 and early 2026.
- A new Grady County permit was issued August 17, 2026.
- Grady County has become the dominant location for recent activity.
Ranking conclusion:
Next Tier — High Priority: established production base plus a continuing, targeted horizontal redevelopment program.
Sales Opportunity
Staghorn represents an attractive account because it offers two distinct OFS sales opportunities simultaneously: maintaining the existing well base and supporting new redevelopment.
Existing Production — Maintenance Plus
With a sizeable producing portfolio, vendors should look for opportunities associated with:
- Artificial lift and lift optimization
- ESP, rod pump and gas-lift services
- Production chemicals
- Workovers and well servicing
- Compression
- Automation and remote monitoring
- Production optimization
- Flowback and production equipment
- Water management
- Well integrity
- Downhole tools
- Electrical and instrumentation
The sales message should focus on reducing downtime, slowing base declines and increasing incremental production from the existing well base while controlling LOE per BOE.
New Development
Recent Grady County permits create a separate opportunity for:
- Drilling contractors
- Directional drilling
- MWD/LWD
- Drilling fluids
- Cementing
- Completion services
- Pressure pumping
- Wireline
- Coiled tubing
- Water transfer
- Rentals
- Wellhead equipment
- Production facilities
- Artificial-lift installation
The August 17, 2026 Grady County permit is particularly useful as a near-term trigger because an Activity Date has not yet been recorded.
Recommended Sales Strategy
The strongest approach is not to treat Staghorn as simply another drilling account.
Position the company as a redevelopment operator with a sizeable existing production base.
The opening sales question should therefore be:
How is Staghorn balancing its new Grady County development program with improving production and operating efficiency across its existing Anadarko well base?
For companies selling drilling and completion services, prioritize Grady County and use the August 2026 permit as the immediate trigger for outreach.
For production-focused vendors, use the broader 244-well active portfolio as the opportunity. The conversation should center on how Staghorn is improving uptime, managing mature wells and integrating new horizontal wells into its existing operating infrastructure.
For automation, chemicals, artificial lift and production-service companies, Staghorn is particularly attractive because the account fits the Maintenance Plus thesis: a mature asset base combined with selective capital investment designed to increase production from established fields.
Sales Takeaway
Staghorn Petroleum II is a high-priority Next Tier Anadarko Basin account with an estimated 244 active wells and 34 identified permits since 2020. The strongest current buying signal is Grady County, where Staghorn has concentrated most of its recent permitting activity, including a new August 2026 permit, creating opportunities both around new horizontal development and ongoing Maintenance Plus spending across its existing production base.
