Oil & gas discussion group for those interested in Tom Green County, Texas. Share your experience regarding lease bonus, royalty rates, drilling activity, and oil & gas news.
I have one sixth the minerals and surface of 5700 acres nine 640 acre tracts in the family since the 1800’s. Two sections have huge wells about 11 wells and strange but 10 are capped and why? I have family members that come down to sibling rivalry and they keep quiet about everything so I am totally out in the cold accepting these little royalty checks yet the wells are all great in size and I have condensate also but I wish I could get a grip on any monies owed to me or any surface damages owed to me or shut in payments owed to me. For example, if it costs a few million to drill a well why would they keep drilling and cap at least 10 wells? Could they be sending the money to another address with royalty in suspense? I feel I am being cheated what to do? Peter Francis and my land is in Sutton County not far off and I used to see this area listed in the San Angelo drilling logs…
Peter,
Whoever is managing your surface should have the answer to the surface damage question, or is in the probate/title paperwork for your surface rights. For minerals do you have the Block, Survey, Section, abstract information? Also on your checks you will see an API number and for Tom Green County in Texas it starts with 42-451-##### and Sutton I think is 42-435-#####. With that you can check the Texas Railroad Commission and find the production totals for those wells.
Peter,
Do you have an executor for the mineral rights for setting up leases? They would have your information as well. You need this for Steven or others to help you out. I just look for oil and gas before the leasing and then I use landmen or operator to secure the lease. It looks like it is time for a family reunion to settle things cleanly.
I have recently become involved in the developments in North West Tom Green County, and was wondering if anyone here is familiar with developments in the area. It seems that it is just south of some holdings of Devon’s and Oxy but I am interested in acquiring more information.
Anyone know current rate for water sales to Oil Company in Tom Green County?

Can anyone recommend a Land Man for Coke County?
Thanks!
My brothers and I own about a quarter of the minerals on a 280-acre tract in Abstract 1965. We have owned this since 2001 and it looks like there are or have been a number of wells within several miles of this location.
Looking for activity in the County.
Thanks.
We have mineral interest on a property in Tom Green County that we have owned for generations (minerals only not the land). The property had two wells that were plugged in early 90s. Would a company come back in that area redrill after that long? Since there were producing wells in the past.

If you own minerals in Texas or New Mexico, consider attending the NARO – Texas convention in San Antonio July 18-20, 2018. They have a great agenda, good speakers, and the cost is reasonable. This year also includes a special session for New Mexico mineral owners. The current agenda draft is attached, and a link to their signup and information page is NARO - National Association of Royalty Owners - Authorization required
