Anyone else frustrated with how clunky it is to track Texas upstream activity?
If you’re in BD, land, or doing early screening, how are you keeping tabs on what’s actually moving week to week like new permits, completions, operators shifting into new counties, that kind of thing? I’ve been bouncing between the RRC site, spreadsheets, and bits and pieces from bigger platforms that feel like overkill for what I actually need.
I’ve been putting together something for my own use that pulls permits, completions, and operator activity into a map and flags what’s changed in the last 30–90 days. Mostly just to stop doing the manual grind every Monday.
Wondering:
How are you tracking this stuff today?
Is the RRC site + spreadsheets + many different tools still the move, or is there something better I’m missing?
Would a lighter-weight view of this even be useful, or do the bigger platforms already cover it well enough?
Not selling anything but genuinely trying to figure out if what I built is useful beyond just me, or if I’m solving a problem nobody actually has. Happy to swap notes with anyone dealing with the same thing.
