Each wedge is the permits on that side of town. The centre is the town's point.

What became of the 52 permits

  • 26finished, on a lease that reports productionThe well was completed and its lease is reporting oil or gas to the state.
  • 15drilling startedThe operator reported a start date. No completion is on file yet.
  • 11still only a permitNothing after the permit is on file. Many permits wait a year or more, and some are never drilled.

Wells finished in the last two years: 9 east, 16 south-east, 9 south, 11 south-west of town.

A horizontal well runs sideways underground. 26 wells start outside the 10-mile circle and end inside it. 61 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 Poth

8 first checks fall due on leases with a well near Poth from today on. Texas law gives the payor 120 days after the end of the month of first sale.

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

Watching a place says nothing about who owns the land or the minerals there. For the whole county, or one survey, use the Wilson County well watch.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Poth?

567 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Poth: 467 on leases that are producing, 41 not producing and 59 plugged. The state also issued 52 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 Poth?

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 Wilson County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Poth picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Poth are falling: 15 permits in the last 12 months, 37 in the 12 months before. Most of them are south-east of town: 45 of 52 lie on that side. The nearest is 2.9 miles south of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

When does a new well near Poth start paying royalties?

Texas law gives the payor 120 days after the end of the month of first sale to send the first payment (Natural Resources Code 91.402). The next date on file for a lease near Poth is January 28, 2027. The date is the earliest a first payment becomes late, not a promise: a title question or an unsigned division order can hold a check back.

Work out a first-check date

How much are the oil and gas near Poth worth?

The 230 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $482 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.

A relative owned minerals near Poth and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 280 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Poth. Search the family name first. If an account turns up, the title usually has to be moved to the heirs before the operator will pay them.

Inherited minerals: where to start

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 Poth, 12 leases went quiet and 26 changed operator; both lists are on this page.

What to do when royalty checks stop

Own land or minerals near Poth?

The next first check near Poth falls due by January 28, 2027. See whether a county roll lists your name, and get an email when a permit or a new well is filed near you.
