What are the coordinates on this page?

Is drilling near Cactus picking up or slowing down?

The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Cactus in the last two years. The nearest one is 10 miles north-east of town, issued June 17, 2025. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Cactus worth?

The 391 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $21 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 Cactus and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 139 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Cactus. 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?
