Jon, take your abstract work to a expert oil and gas title attorney. If he agrees with you, then he will need to contact the operator and show them where they erred. You will need the attorney to do this because most operators tend to ignore the mineral owners. Best case, the operator will agree with your attorney and make the changes. Worst case, you will have to sue the operator.
Good Morning Ronnie. At this time I see no new activity in your immediate area. Next door to the West I see 4 permitted location but only one of those locations(39017)has been spud(July 8, 2017).

No sir . You have similar trouble?
Thank you Texas Owner .
Howard County /A-140/Section25/Block32T1N Any known activity or any pending activity in near future?
Lemme guess, is Surge the Operator?
Thanks Dave . Kinda figured it would come down to having to sue , hope not though. Just get the feeling that they kinda jus skim through the records and be done with it . Dam shame when you have to fight tooth and nail for something that is yours !
Jon, Dave Christian is right. You will need an attorney, and as he pointed out, not just any attorney but an oil & gas title attorney. The attorney will review your title and if it lines up with what you think, they will send those details to the Operator certified mail/return receipt requested. The Operator has to respond with a detailed explanation of why you aren’t in pay. It can take some time to work through this process but rest assured, if you are “in title” you will get paid the entire amount owed to you since first production. If the Operator has been paying someone else in error, that’s up to them to recover, not you.

Thank you Mr Liles!!
I’m looking to find a mineral rights appraiser for Howard County. I recently sold the interest and the appraisal is for the pre-production fair market value at the time I inherited the interest in 2006.
Can anyone confirm that horizontal permits have been filed to drill on the section/block and township below:
Tract 1: Section 38, Block 31, Township 2 North, T&P RR Co.
Grenadier has a permit for a well that starts in Section 3, south of Section38, going north and ending in Section 38.
Can anyone tell me if there’s a way to follow the progress of drilling? We have mineral rights in section 25, Blk 32 T2N and the last anyone mentioned a well had been spud and casing set. I’d love to be able to follow progress but don’t know if it’s possible.
Robert, unless your lease requires the lessee to give you the information, then you have to rely on public data sources such as the TRC.
There are now 5 approved permits for wells in Section 24 ending in Section 25.
API 227-39225/39226/39229/39413 and 39414
39225-spud 8/28/2017
29226-spud 8/27/2017
39229-No spud date
39413-permit approved 4/6/2018
39414-permit approved 4/6/2018///spud date 1/30/2018

I also have small mineral rights (7.7) E/2 of section 25, Block 32 T2N. I see two permits 39414 and 39413that I believe are in my area. I can not tell from the viewer if 39229 is part of E/2… I guess that spud means the drill casing has been placed. Can someone explain to me the process from this point to production if any of these go into production and the time it might take. Thanks for any help. I am learning.
How do i no what is going on. .On sec. 31 block 33 i was told that they started perduction in Oct. i calles oil company they told me we would get Division orders in Feb her its almost may still not a thing
Which the best service for acquiring information about currently leased parcels in Howard County?
Dennis,
That depends on what information you need. The Texas Railroad Commission is a good resource to find out well and production information. If you need to know your lease terms, then you can find a copy of that in the Howard County records. If your property is producing and you want to know your ownership decimal, either look at your check stub, most recent tax statement, or go to the Howard County Appraisal District website.
I found a copy of the memorandum for your prior lease that expired on October 1, 2017, but the newly executed one (assuming there is one) does not appear to be filed yet.
