Is drilling near Alief picking up or slowing down?

The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Alief in the last two years. The nearest one is 20 miles south of town, issued March 20, 2026. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Alief worth?

The 2 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $1.9 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.

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.
