Other leases named Read

3 leases share this name in district 8A. The Railroad Commission gives each gas well its own number and each oil lease another, so one unit often shows up as several of these.

Other Read leases in Yoakum County

6 leases in Yoakum County in the same field or with the same operator carry the Read name. Operators often name the leases on one family's land alike, with a letter or unit number after the name. Sharing a name proves no tie: your division order says which ones pay you.
