Before any permit for a new salt water disposal or injection well can be filed in Texas or New Mexico a public notice of intent is required to be published for public viewing and comment. Sourcewater tracks these notices.

The top operators driving these notices include:

  • Mewbourne Oil Company
  • Pioneer Natural Resources
  • Rattler Midstream Operating
  • Anthem Water Solutions
  • Apache Corporation
  • Juno Operating Company
  • Kinder Morgan Production
  • Texland Petroleum

One of Sourcewater’s unique data gathering capabilities is a patented system for scraping over 1,000 local news publications daily to identify and map legal notices for new disposal and injection wells in advance of any permit filing. We call this SWD Pre-Permit Alert. This gives our clients insight into disposal well planning and development across Texas and New Mexico ahead of any other source.
