FAQ
Questions people ask
How many oil and gas wells are near Hamilton?
4 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Hamilton: 0 on leases that are producing, 0 not producing and 4 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 Hamilton?
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 Hamilton County roll lists it.
Is drilling near Hamilton picking up or slowing down?
The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Hamilton in the last two years. The nearest one is 40 miles north-west of town, issued May 19, 2025. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.
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.
