Which number is which

Oil lease numbers and gas well IDs

The Railroad Commission files oil by lease and gas by well. An oil lease gets a five-digit number that is unique inside its district. A gas well gets a six-digit ID. RRC royalties FAQ

Which one your check belongs to depends on what the well produces. In the Natural Resources Code an oil well produces one barrel or more of oil for every 100,000 cubic feet of gas. A gas well produces gas that is not blended with oil, or more than 100,000 cubic feet of gas for each barrel of oil. § 86.002

A single stub can show oil and gas together. The gas line may be casinghead gas from the oil lease, or gas well gas from a gas well ID of its own, so the stub can point to two records in the state's data.

The number printed on your stub may be neither. Operators keep their own property numbers, and the Commission notes that a stub's number may not be the RRC identification number. You can ask for the RRC number in writing: § 91.504 lets an owner who writes by certified mail request it, and the payor has 60 days to answer.

Step by step

Matching your stub to a lease

Four steps, from the words on the stub to the state's month-by-month record.

  1. Step 1: Search the lease name

    Use the name from your stub, or the first two words of it. Stubs abbreviate and run words together, so a shorter search finds more.

  2. Step 2: Check the county and the operator

    If more than one lease matches, the county on your stub and the operator that sends the check narrow it to one.

  3. Step 3: Confirm with the RRC number

    If your stub prints a district and lease number, it should match the number on the lease page. If it prints only the operator's own number, ask for the RRC number in writing.

  4. Step 4: Open the months

    The lease page shows barrels of oil and mcf of gas sold in every month the state has recorded, and every operator that reported the lease.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How do I look up my oil lease in Texas?

Type the lease name from your royalty stub into the search box above, then check the county and the operator on the result. The Railroad Commission files every lease under a name, a district and a lease number, and publishes monthly production for each. Its production data is online from January 1993 to the present at no charge.

Is the number on my royalty stub the RRC lease number?

Often it is not. Many operators print their own property or owner-deck number, and that will not find anything in the state record. The Railroad Commission says the number on a stub may not be the RRC identification number. Under Natural Resources Code section 91.504 you can ask the payor, by certified mail, for the RRC identification number of the property.

What section 91.504 lets you ask for

What is the difference between an oil lease number and a gas well ID?

The Railroad Commission identifies oil by lease and gas by well. An oil lease number has five digits and is unique inside its district. A gas well ID has six digits. Both are written with the district code, for example 08-58035 for an oil lease and 06-299273 for a gas well.

Oil, casinghead gas and gas well gas

Which Railroad Commission district is my county in?

The Commission publishes a county table with the district code and district office for each county. For example, Andrews County is District 08 (Midland office), Anderson County is District 06 (Henderson), and Aransas County is District 04 (Corpus Christi). The table on this page shows all thirteen district codes that appear in the state's production data.

I cannot find my lease. What should I try?

Search a shorter piece of the name, since stubs abbreviate. Try the county and the operator instead of the name. A lease can be renamed, or its operator can change, and the stub may still carry the old wording. If the name still does not match, the county courthouse where the land sits holds the lease and royalty documents, and the payor must give you the property description if no division order does (Natural Resources Code section 91.503).

Can the Railroad Commission tell me why my royalty check is short?

No. The Commission's own guidance says its authority does not reach lease and royalty matters, including payment of royalties. It does publish what each lease produced and sold, which is the record a royalty check is measured against.

Check a statement against that record
