I am not familiar with the oil and gas business, so please forgive me if my verbiage is incorrect. My question is this: If an oil company files the plat of an intended “pool” with the Texas Railroad Commission, and then changes the lines of the “pool” after the original one was filed, would they have to file the amended plat with the TRRC or could they just file it with the county in which they are drilling?

From all my previous experiences as a mineral owner, the oil company has to file an amended plat with the Railroad Commission prior to a drilling permit being issued. If a permit is issued, then the permit must be ratified or reissued.
