If you watch air permits closely, you know they tend to land right as operators migrate from drilling into facility buildout and flowback readiness. That’s exactly what we’re seeing on Tap Rock’s Flotilla project east of Barstow in Ward County, TX. On October 14, 2025, Tap Rock filed and completed an air permit for FLOTILLA CTB—a central tank battery supporting the Flotilla A/B/C/D/E/F/G well set. When we line that up against the 2025 activity for Block 33, the project cadence points squarely toward a pad moving into completions.
