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 Tye?

299 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Tye: 118 on leases that are producing, 114 not producing and 67 plugged. The state also issued 10 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 Tye?

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 Taylor County roll lists it.

Search a name

Is drilling near Tye picking up or slowing down?

Drilling permits near Tye are falling: 4 permits in the last 12 months, 6 in the 12 months before. Most of them are south-east of town: 8 of 10 lie on that side. The nearest is 1.4 miles east of the town's point. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Tye worth?

The 49 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $9.5 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 Tye and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 63 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Tye. 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 Tye, 13 leases went quiet and 7 changed operator; both lists are on this page.

What to do when royalty checks stop
