Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Katy?

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 Katy?

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 Harris County roll lists it.

Is drilling near Katy picking up or slowing down?

The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Katy in the last two years. The nearest one is 11 miles west of town, issued January 14, 2026. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Katy worth?

The 42 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $6.6 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 Katy, 8 leases went quiet and 0 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
