Which way it is heading

Where the new drilling is around Beaumont

The 10 drilling permits of the last two years within 10 miles, by direction from the town's point, and what became of each one.
N NE E SE 1S 9SW W NW
Each wedge is the permits on that side of town. The centre is the town's point.

What became of the 10 permits

  • 1finished, on a lease that reports productionThe well was completed and its lease is reporting oil or gas to the state.
  • 1finished, no production reported yetA completion is on file. The first production report follows weeks or months later.
  • 3drilling startedThe operator reported a start date. No completion is on file yet.
  • 5still only a permitNothing after the permit is on file. Many permits wait a year or more, and some are never drilled.

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

A horizontal well runs sideways underground. 2 wells start outside the 10-mile circle and end inside it. 4 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

Leases near Beaumont that went quiet or changed hands

The two most common reasons a royalty check stops: the lease stopped reporting production, or a new company took it over and the paperwork is catching up.

13 leases reported nothing for a year or more

Leases that reported within the last four years and then stopped. The newest to stop first; 10 shown.

Is my lease still active?

8 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.

Good to know

The wells near Beaumont, and what a lease has gone for

For a lease offer: the State of Texas leased 4 of its own tracts in Jefferson County in the last ten years. The middle bonus was $353 an acre, the usual royalty 25%, the usual term 5 years; the newest is dated May 7, 2024. Private leases are not public, so these are the nearest figures on record. Is my lease offer fair in Jefferson County?

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Beaumont?

312 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Beaumont: 133 on leases that are producing, 65 not producing and 114 plugged. The state also issued 10 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 Beaumont?

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 Jefferson County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Beaumont picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Beaumont are holding steady: 5 permits in the last 12 months, 5 in the 12 months before. Most of them are south of town: 10 of 10 lie on that side. The nearest is 4.3 miles south of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Beaumont worth?

The 34 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $9.0 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 Beaumont and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 18 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Beaumont. 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?

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 Beaumont, 13 leases went quiet and 8 changed operator; both lists are on this page.

What to do when royalty checks stop

Own land or minerals near Beaumont?
