Inherited wells, am completely lost

Who should I call to find out what company is running the wells? I have an address for the property but that’s all I have…

what state is your property in?

May I offer a suggestion? Make a new post that includes the county and state in the title, along the lines of “Inherited wells in Lea County NM, am completely lost”, and if you can, include the address/information that you’ve been given (in the post itself). It’s quite possible you’ll attract a forum member who knows that specific state and county, someone who will help you out. You could also check a website like CountyRecords.com to see if you can find the lease that the decedent made. Your deceased relative would probably have been the lessor/grantor, and if you are lucky, the same party that took the lease (the lessee or grantee) is now the operator of the well. Best wishes!

You asked a good question, but we don’t have near enough information to answer it. First of all, what state is the property in question in? Different apps apply to different states. I know some stuff about Oklahoma, but nothing about Texas or California. You also didn’t tell us if you know the names of any of the leases or wells. You didn’t say anything about deeds or Division Orders.

Tell us exactly what you have as far as documentation. You can be vague but not too vague. I don’t know how much info in public is too much info.

A good source for information I have found is Log In | WellDatabase . I don’t need all of the bells and whistles so I am just using the free version. It can tell you what wells are in specific areas.

If you don’t know for sure probably best to sell and take the cash. Should get around $40,000 per barrel per day possibly more
