PetroPlanet is an independent publisher providing a data-focused view of Texas oil and gas drilling activity. Its website organizes public records from the Railroad Commission of Texas into searchable information about drilling permits, operators, well completions, counties, and basins, with data refreshed nightly. Users can review recent permit approvals, explore operator profiles, compare activity by county, and follow drilling trends across the state.

The site reports permit and well statistics, including permits issued over the past 12 months and since 2017, completions since 2020, Texas wells on record, and active P-5 operators. It also presents recent activity through lists of approved permits, leading operators, and the counties with the most permits. In addition to Texas-focused coverage, PetroPlanet provides a market snapshot featuring US rotary rig counts and commercial crude oil stocks, drawing on Baker Hughes and U.S. Energy Information Administration data. PetroPlanet is not affiliated with the Railroad Commission of Texas; its service is to publish and present information from public records and other cited sources.
