The most recent signal came on October 15, 2025, when DE Central Operating LLC, a Diamondback subsidiary, filed a new air permit for the BOYD SOUTH Central Tank Battery (CTB). The permit (Project # 399372) was logged as “New Project Notification for New Registration” under TCEQ Regulated Entity # RN112302872, marking formal environmental clearance for a new production facility near Stiles, Texas.
🧭 Why This Matters
The CTB filing follows a series of drilling permits in Block H since 2023, most of which are now drilled and tied to the Double Eagle acreage. In addition, a saltwater disposal (SWD) well in the same block has already been completed, signaling full field infrastructure build-out.
Together, these data points—the air permit, SWD completion, and legacy well activity—suggest Diamondback is preparing for a new completions phase. Historically, the operator’s workflow sequence in the Permian follows a consistent pattern:
- Drill and batch wells within a focused block (often acquired acreage).
- Permit and complete SWD infrastructure to support produced-water management.
- File air and facility permits for centralized tank batteries or vapor-control systems.
- Mobilize frac and production crews within 60–90 days of facility permit completion.
That cadence points to pending completion operations at the Boyd South site before year-end.
📍 Location & Context
The Boyd South CTB sits approximately 3.8 miles west of Stiles, TX, near the intersection of State Highway 137 and Stiles Cemetery Road, positioning it within Diamondback’s central Reagan County corridor. This area has seen a steady build-out of both drilling and midstream infrastructure, linking recent Double Eagle pads with new tank battery capacity.

📈 Playbook Takeaway
The Block H activity cluster—drilled Double Eagle wells, completed SWD well, and now the Boyd South CTB permit—forms a classic pre-completion pattern. Diamondback appears to be aligning surface and midstream assets ahead of a concentrated frac and flowback campaign across its newly integrated acreage.
Expect to see completion crews mobilize and initial production volumes follow through early 2026, further consolidating Diamondback’s position as one of the most operationally disciplined players in the Midland Basin’s core.
