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

What became of the 12 permits

  • 2finished, on a lease that reports productionThe well was completed and its lease is reporting oil or gas to the state.
  • 10still 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: 2 south, 1 south-west of town.

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.

When a new well starts paying

First checks coming due near Shallowater

First checks fell due on leases near Shallowater 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

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 Shallowater?

744 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Shallowater: 509 on leases that are producing, 17 not producing and 218 plugged. The state also issued 12 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 Shallowater?

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 Lubbock County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Shallowater picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Shallowater are falling: 4 permits in the last 12 months, 8 in the 12 months before. Most of them are south-east of town: 12 of 12 lie on that side. The nearest is 2.1 miles east of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

When does a new well near Shallowater 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 Shallowater worth?

The 69 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $125 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.

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

The county mineral roll still lists 89 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Shallowater. 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 Shallowater, 13 leases went quiet and 9 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
