San Angelo, TX, October 14, 2026 —
The San Angelo area recorded 69 permits for drilling new oil or gas wells and 120 oil completions in September, according to the Railroad Commission of Texas.
The figures describe two separate categories of activity: permits for drilling new oil or gas wells, and oil completions. The summary does not provide further details about either category, including whether the permits were issued during September or how the reported completions were counted.
The year covered by the figures was not provided. The precise geographic boundary used for the San Angelo area was also not specified, and no county-level breakdown was included. The report summary does not identify the operators involved or provide information about individual wells.
No comparison with other months or years was provided, so the figures alone do not establish whether drilling permits or oil completions increased or decreased. The summary also does not include production volumes, economic effects or explanations for the reported activity. Those details cannot be determined from the figures provided.
The Railroad Commission of Texas was the source cited for both totals. The available information establishes the number of recorded permits and completions for September, but does not offer additional context about timing, location boundaries or changes in activity.
