  • 3still 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.

When a new well starts paying

First checks coming due near Graham

First checks fell due on leases near Graham in the last month. Texas law gives the payor 120 days after the end of the month of first sale.

The date is the earliest the law allows a first payment to be late (Texas Natural Resources Code 91.402), worked out from the first month of production on file. It is not a promise of a check: title questions and unsigned division orders can hold one back. Work out a first-check date · What to do before the first check

My royalty checks stopped: what to do

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Graham?

1,209 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Graham: 689 on leases that are producing, 181 not producing and 339 plugged. The state also issued 7 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 Graham?

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 Young County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Graham picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Graham are rising: 6 permits in the last 12 months, 1 in the 12 months before. They are spread around town, with no side clearly ahead. The nearest is 5.7 miles west of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

When does a new well near Graham 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 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 Graham worth?

The 295 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $19 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 Graham, 62 leases went quiet and 32 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
