The 10 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 7 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.

6 of the 10 wells are marked plugged in the Railroad Commission's wellbore records. 4 are not plugged. A plugged well is closed for good. A well that is not plugged can be put back on production, and its operator still owes the plugging.

Other leases on these wells
The Railroad Commission files the same API numbers under these leases too: a well keeps its number when it moves into a unit or is recompleted under another lease. A deed older than the unit may name one of them.

476 acres on the newest permit
- Good to know
The wells on this lease state different acreage
The permits state between 394 and 476 acres. Use the acres from your own division order for the well you are paid on.
- Good to know
10 well completions are on file for this lease
The count is of completions in the wellbore records, so a well completed more than once is counted each time. Each well can have its own unit. The decimal for one well does not have to equal the decimal for another.
- Worth asking
A substandard-acreage flag is in the permit records
The RRC permit records include a substandard-acreage flag. Ask which acreage applies to your well and how it was used in your decimal.
