  • 4still 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.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Malakoff?

207 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Malakoff: 95 on leases that are producing, 82 not producing and 30 plugged. The state also issued 6 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 Malakoff?

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 Henderson County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Malakoff picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Malakoff are falling: 1 permit in the last 12 months, 5 in the 12 months before. They are spread around town, with no side clearly ahead. The nearest is 3.5 miles south of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Malakoff worth?

The 78 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $7.0 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 Malakoff, 16 leases went quiet and 131 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
