Oil & Gas Activity in Howard County

Howard County sits on the eastern shelf of the Midland Basin and has been a cornerstone of Permian Basin production since the 1920s. Big Spring, the county seat, has long been an oil town. The county's stacked pay potential — from the shallow San Andres to the deeper Wolfcamp — makes it attractive for both conventional and unconventional operators. SM Energy and Diamondback have been among the most active drillers in recent years.

MineralSearch tracks 20,417 wells in Howard County sourced directly from Texas Railroad Commission filings. Our database includes well locations, operator assignments, completion data, production records, and permit history — updated regularly so you always have current information.
