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

What became of the 2 permits

  • 1drilling startedThe operator reported a start date. No completion is on file yet.
  • 1still 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 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.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Sealy?

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 Sealy?

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 Austin County roll lists it.

Is drilling near Sealy picking up or slowing down?

How much are the oil and gas near Sealy worth?

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

The county mineral roll still lists 17 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Sealy. 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.
