Questions people ask

How many oil and gas wells are near Wheeler?

777 wells with a location on the Railroad Commission's map lie within 10 miles of Wheeler: 468 on leases that are producing, 247 not producing and 62 plugged. The state issued no drilling permit 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 Wheeler?

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 Wheeler County roll lists it.

Is drilling near Wheeler picking up or slowing down?

The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Wheeler in the last two years. The nearest one is 12 miles north-west of town, issued February 23, 2026. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How much are the oil and gas near Wheeler worth?

The 379 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $76 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 Wheeler and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 121 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Wheeler. 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 Wheeler, 39 leases went quiet and 48 changed operator; both lists are on this page.
