From the meeting
At its October 15, 2026 meeting, the board approved six permits for Mewbourne Oil to drill six oil and gas wells in the city's Wellhead Protection Area. Staff said the wells are at the south end of the newly approved pipeline and drilling should take about three months. The approval includes conditions on cementing, City inspector presence, and insurance certificates, so the next commercial need is execution and compliance support during drilling.
