Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Marion?

85 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Marion: 30 on leases that are producing, 7 not producing and 48 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 Marion?

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 Guadalupe County roll lists it.

Is drilling near Marion picking up or slowing down?

How much are the oil and gas near Marion worth?

The 7 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $53,528 of oil and gas in their newest 12 months on file, at the public monthly prices and before taxes and costs.
