Elevation Resources’ 2026 Midland Farms program includes five horizontal Barnett Shale well records across two pads in Andrews County, Texas, all listing AKITA 801, with recorded activity from June through September. An air permit for the potentially related Midland Farms 3940 CTB was issued October 8, marking 149 days from the wells’ May 12 licence date to facility authorization.
Blue Arrow Operating’s 2026 records show 11 spuds across its Fernwood, Rattler and Stewart Wolfcamp developments, using Precision rigs 619 and 592, with repeated projected-depth targets suggesting potential multi-bench development. The October 8 RATTLER CTB air permit adds a facility milestone, while two Stewart records without spud dates indicate remaining drilling activity to monitor.
Magnolia’s Ferguson-McKnight Eagle Ford development spans multiple sections in Zavala and Dimmit counties, with seven sampled horizontal wells across four surface clusters showing both coordinated drilling and phased development. Three approved 2026 air registrations add a facility and compression dimension, highlighting potential OFS opportunities in production support and maintenance within Magnolia’s broader South Texas growth strategy.
TRP Operating’s Annie Wilkes project groups six Wolfcamp wells on two nearby Loving County pads, with H&P 461 and H&P 625 identified as the rigs. The Annie Wilkes Tank Battery notification was completed 176 days after the first well licence date and 94 days after the last recorded Activity Date, supporting a coordinated local development pattern but not confirming that the wells were completed or producing.
Mewbourne Oil Company’s 2026 Ruppel (Woodford) development includes 10 horizontal well permits grouped across three pads in Winkler County, with 162,660 total projected feet and two identified Patterson drilling rigs. A matched air permit for the Bullet Bob central tank battery further indicates coordinated, factory-style development of a single Woodford reservoir.
Arrington Oil & Gas Operating’s Optimus Prime East project in Ector County is a high-confidence Factory-style development, grouping 8 horizontal wells across 3 pads in a single section while targeting multiple depths and the Spraberry and deeper Barnett intervals. For OFS companies, the stacked-reservoir co-development strategy signals a coordinated multi-well program with opportunities spanning drilling, completions, facilities, artificial lift, automation, and long-term production services.
XTO Energy’s Neal Lease in Upton County is a full-section factory development featuring nine horizontal wells across two pads, with coordinated permitting and development within the same section. Two distinct projected-depth tiers—8,479 ft and 10,381 ft—appear on both pads, providing a strong indication of stacked reservoir co-development designed to efficiently develop multiple subsurface intervals from shared surface infrastructure.
Summit Petroleum is executing what appears to be a multi-year, full-section development program in Howard County’s Midland Basin, centered on the Mary Lou lease and organized around centralized multi-well pads that support long-term manufacturing-style drilling. The coordinated permitting strategy, phased rig deployment, and variation in projected depths suggest the project is positioned to systematically develop a stacked reservoir system over multiple drilling campaigns, creating sustained opportunities for drilling, completions, production, and infrastructure services.
SAXUM OPCO’s Neal Development in Upton County demonstrates a disciplined, phased pad-development strategy, moving from well permitting to drilling and production infrastructure in just 51 days, with the Central Tank Battery permitted only one day after drilling concluded. The project exemplifies how operators in the mature Midland Basin maximize capital efficiency by integrating multi-well pad drilling, shared production facilities, and phased execution to accelerate production while preserving future drilling inventory.
RISING STAR ENERGY PARTNERS II is executing a phased Eagle Ford redevelopment program in Refugio County, Texas, with 8 permitted wells across 6 drilling pads targeting the La Rosa (Consolidated, Oil) Field using standardized directional well designs. Drilling has begun on two pads with Wisco Moran Rig 7, while four additional permitted pads provide a defined inventory of future development opportunities within this mature asset.
