How many oil and gas wells are near Riesel?

6 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Riesel: 0 on leases that are producing, 1 not producing and 5 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?

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 Riesel?

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 McLennan County roll lists it.
