Which way it is heading

Where the new drilling is around Rotan

The 8 drilling permits of the last two years within 10 miles, by direction from the town's point, and what became of each one.

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

What became of the 8 permits

1finished, no production reported yetA completion is on file. The first production report follows weeks or months later.
4drilling startedThe operator reported a start date. No completion is on file yet.
3still 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. 2 wells start outside the 10-mile circle and end inside it. 1 starts inside and ends 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.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Rotan?

109 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Rotan: 58 on leases that are producing, 25 not producing and 26 plugged. The state also issued 8 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 Rotan?

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 Fisher County roll lists it.
