What became of the 4 permits

  • 3finished, on a lease that reports productionThe well was completed and its lease is reporting oil or gas to the state.
  • 1finished, no production reported yetA completion is on file. The first production report follows weeks or months later.

Wells finished in the last two years: 1 north, 1 south-east, 1 south 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.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Sunray?

859 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Sunray: 597 on leases that are producing, 135 not producing and 127 plugged. The state also issued 4 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 Sunray?

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 Moore County roll lists it.

Is drilling near Sunray picking up or slowing down?

How much are the oil and gas near Sunray worth?

The 478 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $27 million of oil and gas in their newest 12 months on file, at the public monthly prices and before taxes and costs.

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

The county mineral roll still lists 125 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Sunray. 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.
