What became of the 1 permit

  • 1still 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. 65 wells start outside the 10-mile circle and end inside it. 76 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.

When a new well starts paying

First checks coming due near Keene

2 first checks fall due on leases with a well near Keene from today on. 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

What are the coordinates on this page?

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 Keene?

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 Johnson County roll lists it.
