Houston, TX - The Permian has been logged since the 1940s. Most of that record still is not a click away. It sits on library shelves, behind state imaging portals that serve one page at a time, or inside enterprise data packages priced for majors. NDEX now carries Permian Basin well log data three layers deep — 115,000+ wells with log documents across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico, priced per well.
Layer 1: AI-extracted digital LAS
The instant layer comes from the Oil Information Library of Fort Worth partner channel — the first wave of the 26,000-file tranche announced in July, now 4,000+ Permian wells live with digital LAS. This is not scan-and-ship: every curve is extracted and quality-controlled with Nspect, our digitization engine, before it reaches the shelf. Median 12 curves per well.
The collection skews modern. Over 80% of its dated logs are 2010s vintage — Wolfcamp and Bone Spring-era logging, with median TD (MD) past 10,000 ft and the deepest wells past 25,000 ft. It also covers ground the public record does not: in Andrews County we hold 1,379+ wells with digital LAS against 249 in the RRC's public LAS index. Five times the state's own list.
Access is member-gated and pay-per-well. Most of this partner shelf is not in the commercial mega-libraries; some overlap with public and vendor holdings is normal.
Layer 2: Southeast New Mexico rasters, downloadable today
19,179 wells across Lea (10,642), Eddy (7,116), Chaves (1,281), and Roosevelt (140) counties, carrying 48,800+ raster log files you can download the day you buy. These records exist in public archives — the value is not access, it is organization. Every file is indexed by API, county, and well on the same map as the rest of the catalog, without the one-page-at-a-time portal slog.
Layer 3: The Texas catalog, on demand
96,500+ wells across Railroad Commission districts 7C, 08, and 8A, with 138,972 cataloged log documents dating from 1947 to 2026. The heavy counties: Midland (9,736 wells), Martin (8,755), Andrews (7,953), Upton (6,729), Reeves (5,839), Howard (5,222), Glasscock (4,867). Search free, order what you need; fulfillment runs on demand.
What it costs
Search is free. Well metadata exports run $5 per well. Digital LAS is $80 per well pay-as-you-go, less on Pro and Enterprise plans; OILFW channel purchases are member-gated. No annual seat, no multi-year lock-in — what you buy stays in your My Data portal for re-download.
"We are not trying to win on volume. The bulk libraries already have volume — copies of copies of it. Every LAS in our Permian channel went through Nspect extraction and QC before it shipped. The quality of the curve is the product."
