A-404: MONTRY, W survey

698 acres in Jack County. The state’s records tie 13 wells and no drilling permits from the last 24 months to this abstract.

Free. We look for new drilling permits on A-404 (a horizontal well whose bottom hole ends here counts), completions and first production, and email you once a week at most.

A map of the land, not of who owns it.

This survey on one page to print, with its wells and a scale.

This does not tell you who owns the minerals

A survey boundary, a well or a permit on this land says nothing about who owns the minerals under it, or in what share. Your deed does, and the county clerk keeps the deeds. Where to find them.

About the boundary

Survey shapes come from the Railroad Commission survey layer, converted from its NAD27 coordinates to the coordinates the well points and the map use. They are close, not surveyed: a well near a boundary may belong on the other side of the line. A survey boundary or nearby well does not establish ownership. Crossing entries compare surface and bottom-hole endpoints; they are not surveyed lateral paths.

What is recorded on A-404

Railroad Commission wells, leases and permits tied to this abstract. Dates and names are as the state publishes them.

Wells the Railroad Commission ties to A-404: either the operator’s filing names the abstract, or the well’s mapped point falls inside the survey shape. A well here may produce from a unit that takes in other land too.

Drilling permits the state matched to A-404 in the last 24 months. A permit is permission to drill, not a well: some are never drilled.

Endpoint evidence, not surveyed laterals

A horizontal well goes down, then sideways, sometimes under the next abstract. For each permit here one end (the surface location or the bottom of the hole) is on A-404 and the other is not. The state publishes the two ends, not the path between them, so this does not show where the well runs or which land it drains.

County deed records

Ask the Jack County Clerk

We have not written up Jack County’s deed records yet. The county clerk keeps the deed records for land in the county. You can call, write or visit, and the office can tell you what is online and what a copy costs.

The deed is what shows who received the minerals. A map of the land, like the one on this page, does not.

Volume and page is the address of a deed in the county’s books.

What to ask the clerk for

The deed that describes this land, by its recording number: the volume and page, or the instrument number.
The grantor and grantee index for the names on your family's deeds, so you can find the later deeds too.
Copies of any mineral deeds, royalty deeds or probate records that mention the land.

Take this with you

A new drilling permit is often the first sign of a new well, and of new royalty months later. We check the state’s records every week.
