Industry Brief
Oil and natural gas operators in Texas may now obtain their drilling permits online, according to the Texas Railroad Commission (RRC). For the first time, third-party filers and consultants — which file nearly half of the drilling applications processed by the RRC — will be able to directly access and use the electronic application. Operators also may file expedited permits online and use a credit card to pay the drilling permit fee. The RRC will continue to accept mailed or drilling applications in person. The number of drilling permits required before an operator may drill a well varies with the price of oil and gas. An average of 1,360 drilling permits were filed in the first three months of this year. For more information about filing drilling permit applications online, visit the RRC website, contact the RRC’s Oil and Gas Division at (512) 463-6751 or send an email: drillingpermits-info@rrc.state.tx.us.
