Meaning

What this document usually means

In Texas RRC records, a W-1 usually appears before a well becomes completed or producing. It can include the operator, lease name, well number, field, county, proposed depth, surface location, and whether the well is associated with directional or horizontal drilling.

On Future Wells Texas, W-1 documents are treated as permit activity. When enough information is available, we connect the document to an API number, map point, operator, field, and county page.
