Which way it is heading

Where the new drilling is around Bryan

The 18 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 2E SE S SW W 8NW 8
Each wedge is the permits on that side of town. The centre is the town's point.

What became of the 18 permits

  • 14finished, on a lease that reports productionThe well was completed and its lease is reporting oil or gas to the state.
  • 2finished, no production reported yetA completion is on file. The first production report follows weeks or months later.
  • 2still 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: 7 west, 7 north-west of town.

A horizontal well runs sideways underground. 76 wells start outside the 10-mile circle and end inside it. 78 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.

Good to know

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

For a lease offer: the State of Texas leased 3 of its own tracts in Brazos County in the last ten years. The middle bonus was $1,500 an acre, the usual royalty 25%, the usual term 3 years; the newest is dated September 5, 2023. Private leases are not public, so these are the nearest figures on record. Is my lease offer fair in Brazos County?

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Bryan?

660 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Bryan: 462 on leases that are producing, 82 not producing and 116 plugged. The state also issued 18 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 Bryan?

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 Brazos County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Bryan picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Bryan are falling: 2 permits in the last 12 months, 16 in the 12 months before. Most of them are west of town: 16 of 18 lie on that side. The nearest is 5.3 miles west of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Bryan worth?

The 325 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $284 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 Bryan and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 305 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Bryan. 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 Bryan, 29 leases went quiet and 11 changed operator; both lists are on this page.

What to do when royalty checks stop

Own land or minerals near Bryan?

305 accounts near Bryan are still in the name of an estate. See whether a county roll lists your name, and get an email when a permit or a new well is filed near you.
