What this page does and does not tell you

• It does not say who owns the minerals. Only recorded deeds, wills, and estate files do. The mineral owner named on a permit is whoever the operator listed when it filed, often decades ago.
• A completed well is not necessarily producing. Status and year come from state records; the production and sales figures above come from separate, operator-reported filings and are estimates where the page says so.
• Nearby is not yours. A well in the same district is not necessarily producing from your tract. Only a lease, a unit, or a division order ties a well to an interest.
• The location is approximate. A surface point, not a surveyed boundary and not the subsurface path of a lateral.
• Activity is not value. Permits nearby change the odds of future development; they do not by themselves establish what an interest is worth.
