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

What became of the 2 permits

  • 1finished, on a lease that reports productionThe well was completed and its lease is reporting oil or gas to the state.
  • 1drilling startedThe operator reported a start date. No completion is on file yet.

Wells finished in the last two years: 1 north-east of town.

A horizontal well runs sideways underground. 2 wells start outside the 10-mile circle and end inside it. 1 starts inside and ends 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.

What are the coordinates on this page?
