  • 2still 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. 6 wells start outside the 10-mile circle and end inside it. 7 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 Schulenburg

First checks fell due on leases near Schulenburg in the last month. Texas law gives the payor 120 days after the end of the month of first sale.

The date is the earliest the law allows a first payment to be late (Texas Natural Resources Code 91.402), worked out from the first month of production on file. 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

If your checks stopped

Leases near Schulenburg 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.

2 leases 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?

11 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

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Schulenburg?

29 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Schulenburg: 18 on leases that are producing, 6 not producing and 5 plugged. The state also issued 6 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 Schulenburg?

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 Fayette County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Schulenburg picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Schulenburg are rising: 4 permits in the last 12 months, 2 in the 12 months before. Most of them are south-west of town: 6 of 6 lie on that side. The nearest is 5.6 miles south-west of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

When does a new well near Schulenburg 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 Schulenburg worth?

The 18 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $4.1 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.

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 Schulenburg, 2 leases went quiet and 11 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
