Ok I’m back. We have some mineral s in 8-9N10E Hughes county. Currently leased. It got quiet for a year or so but here come the offers. I know that 2 wells we’re in the works.( thanks again M.Barnes). Just curious if something has happened I can’t found on website. Thanks
You can follow your area by watching the OCC well records site. Search by surface location. http://imaging.occeweb.com/imaging/OGWellRecords.aspx
You can follow production by searching the OK tax site. Test
Look up extra exhibits from OCC cases on the OCC OAP site. OAP
You should get mailings for any new wells. I see six new cases in the last 999 days. Those will keep you up to date on what is happening. If you don’t have the mailings, come back and I can give you the address and attorney to contact.
I was just checking back to this site to see what kind of activity has been going on in Hughes county. Seems to be slow. I have been checking the sites given above and can’t find much. I’m trying to find the names of the potential/active wells that would affect 8-9N10E Hughes. I’m guessing there’s not much that’s taken place. Just making sure after reading some comments. Thanks again
The current permits in 9N-10E are in 18 going both north and south into other sections., 33 &28, 34 &22 and south into 3, 35 both into 26 & south into 2, 36 north into 24 and south into 1. Calyx had cases in 8, but dismissed most of them. If you did not get the mailings, then you need to make sure you have your name and address filed properly in the county clerks office with proof of ownership in the section.
Sorry to bother you again… I haven’t thought anything about the minerals but just saw Hughes county on Energy Today. I didn’t think there was anything going on but 14-8N-12E made the news. Hopefully that’s a good thing for someone. I would like to say I understand the map, but I don’t. We have sold all minerals in Hughes county except 8-9N10E. Still no action I’m sure?
8-9N-10E has old production still online, but nothing new. There are some horizontals just west of you in 6-9N-10E and 7-9N-10E. Time will tell…
Hello, I am currently working on my mom’s estate. She had 83 acres she kept the mineral rights on in Hughes County. I have an attorney for the trust. How can I figure out value so I can sell them.
Thanks
Hire a landman with the experience to properly value them.
Also, check and see if there are any unclaimed funds with the state of OK (or the state in which your mom lived.) The heirs would want those funds instead of the buyer (who also wants them).
If you know the sections, townships and ranges, then you can look up the areas and find out if there are producing wells.

So I’m confused. My mom kept the mineral rights to the 83 acres she inherited. So do mineral rights apply to all 83 acres or just a percentage of the 83 acres? The attorney says we need to find her leases to show the mineral percentages. Thanks
The question is did she own 83 acres of surface & 83 acres of minerals or did she own an undivided percentage under an 83 acre tract of land? You need to research the county records to determine that.
https://okcountyrecords.com Depending upon the date of her lease, you may be able to find the lease document on this website. If older than about 1991, you may have to get a landman to go to the county courthouse and look it up.
Harjo, I think you will find the mineral deed to be much more useful than a lease.
The mineral deed will state the percentage or fraction of interest in the 83 acres.
A lease often will not mention that interest and a lease may only be for a portion of
the holdings. If a lease was for only 40 of the 83 acres, for example. There may not
even be any leases, but if there are mineral rights, there is most likely a deed.
A lease may show the royalty percentage that was agreed to, but this doesn’t
tell much about the ownership percentage.
Yes, the deed is much more useful, but it may be old and not listed online unless there was a newer probate that listed the exact description and ownership. The leases may be newer and a good starting point, but they usually list the gross parcel acres. You may need a landman to find the original deed or an old probated will final declaration.
To know exactly what you have would require an examination of all the records back to the root of title. Even if a deed recites 83 acres, the person conveying or the person inheriting from might only own a fractional share of those acres.
By way of quick explanation, say your grandparents owned 100% of the minerals under 83.00 acres and had 3 children that each inherited 1/3 X 83. Your mother would have owned 27.667 net mineral acres and her 2 siblings would have owned the same. Hope that helps.
