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 Sanger?

Is drilling near Sanger picking up or slowing down?

The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Sanger in the last two years. The nearest one is 12 miles south-west of town, issued May 29, 2025. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Sanger worth?

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

The county mineral roll still lists 16 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Sanger. 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?
