FAQ
Questions people ask
What do oil and gas leases pay per acre in Webb County, Texas?
Relinquishment Act leases: 191 leases, median bonus $375 per acre (middle half $300 to $496). State sealed-bid sales: 2 leases, median bonus $1,028 per acre. These are State land sales and shared offers, a reference for a private offer and not a promise of one.
What royalty do Webb County leases have?
The most common oil royalty in relinquishment act leases is 12.5 percent. The most common oil royalty in state sealed-bid sales is 25 percent. A private lease sets its own royalty, and the words that figure it matter as much as the fraction.
Is drilling active in Webb County?
The Railroad Commission issued 531 drilling permits in Webb County in the last 24 months, 524 of them for horizontal wells. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.
How do I know if my offer is good?
Compare its bonus, royalty and first term with the figures on this page, then scan the lease itself for the clauses that decide what you are paid: how costs are treated, what land is released after the first term, and any option to extend. The offer check on this page does the first part with no account.
