Is my lease still active?

Checks often pause after a change while the new company sets up its owner records. The newest first; 10 shown.

My royalty checks stopped: what to do

From the monthly production reports operators file with the Railroad Commission. The newest months fill in late, so a lease is listed only after 12 months with no report.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Gainesville?

823 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Gainesville: 561 on leases that are producing, 41 not producing and 221 plugged. The state also issued 11 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 Gainesville?

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 Cooke County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Gainesville picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Gainesville are rising: 8 permits in the last 12 months, 3 in the 12 months before. Most of them are south-east of town: 11 of 11 lie on that side. The nearest is 2.6 miles south of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Gainesville worth?

The 190 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $16 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.

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 Gainesville, 9 leases went quiet and 33 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
