I am trying to lease 640 acres in yoakum county. I would like information on this area.
In 1995 my father turned down a lease offer from Shell Oil E&P. Section 505 & 506.
These were handed down from my great grandmother. appears they were purched in
1942. How can I find out if there were ever any test wells. Acording to what I have been told.
The sizemology work was done. Im New to this but have 100% roalties.
Thank you
Michael E Patterson
Mr. Patterson,
According to the Railroad Commission of Texas RRC's Public GIS Map Viewer section 505 has one dry hole that was plugged in Jan. 1991. 506, A-1519 (in the SW1/4), has one dry hole but no plugging info is given.
