FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Buna?

108 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Buna: 52 on leases that are producing, 37 not producing and 19 plugged. The state also issued 13 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 Buna?

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 Jasper County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Buna picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Buna are rising: 9 permits in the last 12 months, 4 in the 12 months before. They are spread around town, with no side clearly ahead. The nearest is 3.3 miles north-west of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

When does a new well near Buna 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 Buna 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 Buna worth?

The 37 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $14 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 Buna and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 19 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Buna. 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 Buna, 7 leases went quiet and 12 changed operator; both lists are on this page.

What to do when royalty checks stop

Own land or minerals near Buna?

The next first check near Buna 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.
