FAQ
Questions people ask
How many oil and gas wells are near Abernathy?
117 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Abernathy: 90 on leases that are producing, 1 not producing and 26 plugged. The state issued no drilling permit with a well location in that circle in the last 24 months.
What are the coordinates on this page?
Latitude and longitude of the well's surface location in NAD83, the coordinates map apps use. They come from the Railroad Commission's well layers as published, and from its drilling permit files, which are published in the older NAD27 and converted here. Paste them into any map app. A horizontal well's bottom hole can be a mile or two away from its surface location.
Do I own minerals under a well near Abernathy?
A well nearby says nothing about who owns the minerals under it. The county's mineral roll lists who is paid on each producing lease. Search a name to see whether the Lubbock County roll lists it.
Is drilling near Abernathy picking up or slowing down?
The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Abernathy in the last two years. The nearest one is 11 miles west of town, issued August 24, 2026. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.
When does a new well near Abernathy start paying royalties?
Texas law gives the payor 120 days after the end of the month of first sale to send the first payment (Natural Resources Code 91.402). The date is the earliest a first payment becomes late, not a promise: a title question or an unsigned division order can hold a check back.
How much are the oil and gas near Abernathy worth?
The 9 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $72 million of oil and gas in their newest 12 months on file, at the public monthly prices and before taxes and costs. That is what the leases sold, not what a tract of land or a mineral interest is worth: an owner is paid a share of one lease.
A relative owned minerals near Abernathy and has died. What now?
The county mineral roll still lists 18 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Abernathy. Search the family name first. If an account turns up, the title usually has to be moved to the heirs before the operator will pay them.
My checks from a lease here stopped. Why?
The usual reasons: the lease stopped producing, a new operator took it over, or the operator put the payments in suspense over a title or address question. Near Abernathy, 2 leases went quiet and 1 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
Own land or minerals near Abernathy?
18 accounts near Abernathy are still in the name of an estate. See whether a county roll lists your name, and get an email when a permit or a new well is filed near you.
