The 4 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 8 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.

Other Trigger leases in Reeves County

1 lease in Reeves County in the same field or with the same operator carries the Trigger 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.

Production by month

No production to chart

The state shows zero oil and zero gas for all 36 months we hold (Sep 2023 to Aug 2026). A lease that is shut in or newly reported looks like this. The ledger below lists each month. Its whole life is charted at the top of the page.

Where the gas went

No gas disposition reported for this lease

The operator has not reported where the gas went in the months we hold.

3 of the 4 wells are marked plugged in the Railroad Commission's wellbore records. 1 is 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 one more lease 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.
