I own mineral interests in the James Patterson Tract in Robertson County, Texas. Comstock has held the lease on the minerals and the lease has been renewed.
Since I no longer live in the area, I’m trying to get a better sense of the current activity and development outlook for this tract. Does anyone have information on Comstock’s drilling plans, leasing activity, upcoming wells, or potential development in the area that could include the Patterson Tract?
I’d especially appreciate any insight from anyone familiar with Comstock’s current plans or drilling activity in this part of Robertson County.
The TX RRC GIS map shows most of the activity for horizontal drilling along the highway 79 to the south. The closest rig onsite right now is about four miles to the SW. Comstock with Circle M Alloc C 3H
TARG, one more data point to go with M_Barnes’s map. Comstock is still very active in Robertson County. In the RRC production records for May 2026, Ingram Martin A made 183,058 MCF of gas, James McDonald Unit 175,659, McCullough GLR C 121,953 and McCullough Ingram A 117,499. The Circle M Alloc lease made 92,227 MCF.
New leases keep showing up too. McCullough GLR A started reporting in April 2025 and McCullough GLR C in June 2025. New producing leases nearby are a reasonable sign that they’re still developing the area.
The best early warning for your tract is a drilling permit naming the Patterson survey. You can search the RRC drilling permit query by survey and abstract every month or two. A permit comes before a rig, of course, so you’ll get some notice.
