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. Only Sourcenergy captures and tracks these notices which provides insight into future drilling plans ahead of the drilling permit.
Sourcenergy reports no change in overall total number of public notices of intent to drill new SWD wells in the Permian Basin for the month of March 2022 vs February 2022. March comes in at 47 vs 47 in February 2022. (Year over year, March 2022 is more than 3x higher than the March 2021 total of 14.)
The only change was the mix. Texas filings were up 2 to 46, with New Mexico dropping the same amount to 1.
