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.

280 acres on the newest permit

  • Good to know

    The wells on this lease state different acreage

    The permits state between 280 and 320 acres. Use the acres from your own division order for the well you are paid on.

  • Worth asking

    A Rule 37 case is listed

    The RRC permit records list a Rule 37 case. This does not establish your royalty share. Ask for the permit and unit plat for your well.

  • Good to know

    All listed wells are plugged

    The RRC wellbore records mark all listed wells as plugged. These records do not show whether earlier royalties remain payable. Ask the payor about any unpaid months.
