The 2 ringed dots are this lease's wells, each where the Railroad Commission's map puts it. The other dots are wells and drilling permits of the last 24 months on the land around it; the counts are for everything in the picture, which is about 6 miles across. The thin brown lines are the original land surveys; where there is room, a survey carries its abstract number, the number deeds and division orders cite.

What owners ask about Foster

When is the check for June 2025 due?
June 2025 is the newest month the state has posted for this lease. Texas law gives the payor until 60 days after the end of the sale month for oil and 90 for gas: the oil by Aug 29, 2025, unless the lease sets another time.
Source: Railroad Commission production reports; Texas Natural Resources Code §91.402.

Which Texas production tax rate applies?
The Texas Comptroller lists no approved exemption or reduced rate for this lease for June 2025, so the full 4.6% on oil applies.

Who buys the oil and gas?

How many 1099s should an owner expect for 2025?
One company, Jones, L. E. Operating, Inc., filed this lease's reports behind every 2025 check, so most owners get one form. The operator is not always the company that pays, so go by the name on the stubs.
