What became of the 1 permit

  • 1finished, on a lease that reports productionThe well was completed and its lease is reporting oil or gas to the state.

Wells finished in the last two years: 1 south of town.

A horizontal well runs sideways underground. 2 start inside and end outside. So a well can drain land a mile or two from the spot where it shows on a map.

A permit is permission to drill, not a well, and a well nearby says nothing about who owns the minerals under it. Direction is taken from the well's surface location. Source: Railroad Commission of Texas drilling permits and wellbore records.

If your checks stopped

What are the coordinates on this page?

Do I own minerals under a well near Anahuac?
