Is drilling near Pilot Point picking up or slowing down?

The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Pilot Point in the last two years. The nearest one is 10 miles north-east of town, issued April 14, 2025. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Pilot Point worth?

The 14 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $2.7 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 Pilot Point, 4 leases went quiet and 1 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
