Wildcatters Expands Intelligence 2.0: Making American Energy Information Accessible to Everyone
Oct 19, 2026
Expanding access to energy data for independent operators, mineral owners, investors, professors, researchers and educators.
Dallas, Texas, October 19, 2026 -- Wildcatters has expanded its national energy intelligence platform with Wildcatters Intelligence 2.0 to help independent operators, mineral owners, investors, researchers and educators make better-informed decisions.
Energy is the foundation of the modern economy. It powers homes, transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, technology and nearly every business across America.
Yet understanding the industry behind that energy remains unnecessarily difficult.
Critical information about wells, production, permits, operators, regulatory activity and resource development is scattered across government agencies, state databases, historical records and expensive research platforms.
Wildcatters was built to help change that.
Today, Wildcatters is advancing that mission through Wildcatters Intelligence 2.0, an expanding national research platform designed to make oil and gas information more accessible, understandable and useful.
The platform currently encompasses approximately 3.79 million canonical well records across 19 U.S. jurisdictions, bringing together energy information that has traditionally required navigating numerous separate sources.
For decades, sophisticated energy intelligence has often required specialized expertise, expensive subscriptions or substantial time spent navigating disconnected databases.
That creates challenges for the independent businesses and professionals who form an essential part of America's energy industry.
Small operators need to understand development activity and regulatory requirements. Mineral owners need better information about their interests, production history and the factors influencing potential transaction value. Investors need reliable research to evaluate opportunities. Geologists, students and educators need access to data that supports learning and discovery.
Wildcatters Intelligence is being developed to serve all of them.
"Our goal has always been simple: make the oil and gas industry easier to understand," Joseph W. Foley, Founder & President of Wildcatters Marketplace & Intelligence, said.
"America has extraordinary energy resources and some of the brightest minds in the world. But information is only valuable when people can access it, understand it and put it to work. We want independent businesses, mineral owners, researchers and the next generation of energy professionals to have better tools for making better decisions."
Wildcatters Intelligence connects research across wells, operators, production, permits, drilling activity and regulatory records where available from certified sources.
The platform is designed to help users explore where drilling and development is occurring, which operators are most active in a particular region, how reported production has changed over time, what permits, inspections and recorded violations are associated with an area or well, and what information could help someone evaluate a mineral interest or energy opportunity.
Regulatory histories require careful interpretation, and reported data varies between states. Wildcatters preserves source information, reporting periods and limitations rather than treating every dataset as directly comparable.
As the platform expands, the goal is to connect increasingly diverse energy records and make research that once required searching across multiple agencies available through a more unified experience.
Better information cannot eliminate every challenge facing America's energy industry. But it can help people identify opportunities, ask better questions, evaluate risks, understand environmental and regulatory responsibilities, and make more informed investment and operational decisions.
That matters across the entire energy economy, from independent producers and service companies to researchers, landowners, institutions and local communities.
It also matters for the next generation of engineers, geologists, entrepreneurs and students who will shape the industry's future.
"Energy touches everything," Foley added. "If we can help more people understand it, we can help create a more informed, competitive and capable American energy economy."
Alongside Intelligence, Wildcatters Marketplace helps users discover energy assets, mineral interests, auctions, companies and other opportunities.
To help support the ongoing costs of collecting, maintaining, storing and expanding its data infrastructure, Wildcatters offers Founding Membership at $19.99 every four weeks.

Wales, Australia, managing David Silva all part of Sha Tin coach’s rich tapestry
Tom Ballantyne was playing a pre-season friendly for Welsh club Monmouth Town when he “got clattered” and sustained a tibia plateau fracture. “I broke my knee joint, essentially,” Ballantyne said. “I never played again”.
