Each wedge is the permits on that side of town. The centre is the town's point.

What became of the 2 permits

  • 1finished, on a lease that reports productionThe well was completed and its lease is reporting oil or gas to the state.
  • 1still only a permitNothing after the permit is on file. Many permits wait a year or more, and some are never drilled.

A horizontal well runs sideways underground. 6 wells start outside the 10-mile circle and end inside it. 5 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.

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 Anderson?

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 Grimes County roll lists it.

Is drilling near Anderson picking up or slowing down?

How much are the oil and gas near Anderson worth?

The 122 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $9.3 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 Anderson and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 82 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Anderson. 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.

Inherited minerals: where to start

My checks from a lease here stopped. Why?
