What became of the 1 permit

  • 1still only a permitNothing after the permit is on file. Many permits wait a year or more, and some are never drilled.

A horizontal well runs sideways underground. 1 well starts outside the 10-mile circle and ends inside it. 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.

What are the coordinates on this page?

Latitude and longitude of the well's surface location in NAD83, the coordinates map apps use.

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 De Leon?

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 Comanche County roll lists it.

Is drilling near De Leon picking up or slowing down?

The 46 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $820,707 of oil and gas in their newest 12 months on file, at the public monthly prices and before taxes and costs.

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 De Leon, 5 leases went quiet and 11 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
