Which way it is heading

Where the new drilling is around Hideaway

The 1 drilling permit of the last two years within 10 miles, by direction from the town's point, and what became of each one.

Each wedge is the permits on that side of town. The centre is the town's point.

What became of the 1 permit

  • 1drilling startedThe operator reported a start date. No completion is on file yet.

A horizontal well runs sideways underground. 1 well starts outside the 10-mile circle and ends inside it. 2 start inside and end outside. 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.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Hideaway?

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 Hideaway?

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 Smith County roll lists it.

Is drilling near Hideaway picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Hideaway are holding steady: 0 permits in the last 12 months, 1 in the 12 months before. The nearest is 1.8 miles south-west of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Hideaway worth?

The 21 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $9.8 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 Hideaway, 7 leases went quiet and 0 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
