When a new well starts paying

First checks coming due near Alvin

8 first checks fall due on leases with a well near Alvin from today on. Texas law gives the payor 120 days after the end of the month of first sale.

The date is the earliest the law allows a first payment to be late (Texas Natural Resources Code 91.402), worked out from the first month of production on file. It is not a promise of a check: title questions and unsigned division orders can hold one back. Work out a first-check date · What to do before the first check

If your checks stopped

Leases near Alvin that went quiet or changed hands

Is my lease still active?

5 leases got a new operator in two years

Checks often pause after a change while the new company sets up its owner records. The newest first.

My royalty checks stopped: what to do

From the monthly production reports operators file with the Railroad Commission. The newest months fill in late, so a lease is listed only after 12 months with no report.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Alvin?

858 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Alvin: 390 on leases that are producing, 132 not producing and 336 plugged. The state also issued 19 drilling permits 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 Alvin?

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 Brazoria County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Alvin picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Alvin are rising: 18 permits in the last 12 months, 1 in the 12 months before. They are spread around town, with no side clearly ahead. The nearest is 4.5 miles north of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

When does a new well near Alvin 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 next date on file for a lease near Alvin is November 28, 2026. 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.

Work out a first-check date

How much are the oil and gas near Alvin worth?

The 31 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $167 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. Near Alvin, 34 leases went quiet and 5 changed operator; both lists are on this page.

What to do when royalty checks stop

Own land or minerals near Alvin?

The next first check near Alvin falls due by November 28, 2026. See whether a county roll lists your name, and get an email when a permit or a new well is filed near you.
