FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Conroe?

698 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Conroe: 349 on leases that are producing, 56 not producing and 293 plugged. The state issued no drilling permit 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 Conroe?

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 Montgomery County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Conroe picking up or slowing down?

The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Conroe in the last two years. The nearest one is 17 miles north-east of town, issued January 22, 2026. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Conroe worth?

The 14 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $43 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 Conroe and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 134 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Conroe. 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 Conroe, 5 leases went quiet and 37 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
