I inherited several mineral rights in Oklahoma and one in North Dakota. I have land descriptions, uncertain of active or inactive or drillers/operators names.

You can use the state website to look up the wells.  
For Oklahoma, the well records site is: Click on the link that says ERROR [Error](https://public.occ.ok.gov/OGCDWellRecords/CustomSearch.aspx?SearchName=OilandGasWellRecordsSearch&dbid=0&repo=OCC&cr=1) Wells will be located by their surface location.

For ND, the site is [https://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/](https://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/). Use the well search option.
