Which way it is heading

Where the new drilling is around San Augustine

The 134 drilling permits of the last two years within 10 miles, by direction from the town's point, and what became of each one.

What became of the 134 permits

  • 1finished, no production reported yetA completion is on file. The first production report follows weeks or months later.
  • 34drilling startedThe operator reported a start date. No completion is on file yet.
  • 58still 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: 7 north, 2 north-east, 1 east, 2 south-east, 3 south, 1 south-west, 22 west, 9 north-west of town.

A horizontal well runs sideways underground. 26 wells start outside the 10-mile circle and end inside it. 32 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.

If your checks stopped

Leases near San Augustine that went quiet or changed hands

The two most common reasons a royalty check stops: the lease stopped reporting production, or a new company took it over and the paperwork is catching up.

1 lease reported nothing for a year or more

Leases that reported within the last four years and then stopped. The newest to stop first.

Is my lease still active?

205 leases got a new operator in two years

Checks often pause after a change while the new company sets up its owner records. The newest first; 10 shown.

My royalty checks stopped: what to do

From the monthly production reports operators file with the Railroad Commission. The newest months fill in late, so a lease is listed only after 12 months with no report.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near San Augustine?

354 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of San Augustine: 316 on leases that are producing, 33 not producing and 5 plugged. The state also issued 134 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 San Augustine?

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 San Augustine County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near San Augustine picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near San Augustine are rising: 101 permits in the last 12 months, 33 in the 12 months before. Most of them are west of town: 84 of 134 lie on that side. The nearest is 1.4 miles north of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

When does a new well near San Augustine 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 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 San Augustine worth?

The 316 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $1.0 billion 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 San Augustine and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 142 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near San Augustine. 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 San Augustine, 1 leases went quiet and 205 changed operator; both lists are on this page.

What to do when royalty checks stop
