Couple of questions. Where would I look for description of a recently pooled unit in Reeves County? I have not been sent a copy but heard there is one. Can you pool a unit before it is drilled? Would appreciate hearing any other questions / answers that would help explain pooled unit.
Railroad Commission’s GIS map is where to find drilling permits that have been approved by RRC. People sometimes refer to pooled units when they are really talking about the platted boundaries of a drilling unit an operator filed with their application for a permit to drill.
Here’s a link to RRC’s GIS map. The page includes a user’s guide and links to a training video on how to use the map. https://www.rrc.texas.gov/resource-center/research/gis-viewer/
To see the unit plats for new permits that RRC hasn’t approved yet, here’s a link to the Permit Section on their site. https://webapps2.rrc.texas.gov/EWA/drillingPermitsQueryAction.do

If a proper unit is formed, the operator and non-op working interests will file a Designation of Pooled Unit (DPU) or similar document in county deed records. It should be recorded prior to driling. If you post information on the location of your minerals and any permitted wells, you will get more feedback.
The pooled unit would include Bk 50, Township 7, Section 37 and 38. Thanks.
And thank you Dusty for the links.
Chevron has filed permits for Rev GF State T7-50-38 wells which cross Section 37 and/or Section 38. These wells angle diagonally across several sections. Permits note that these are allocation wells and therefore units are not being formed. On the RRC permits page, select Reeves County, Chevron as operator and Rev GF State T7-50-38 as lease name and all the wells will appear. You can open the permits, plats, etc. for each well.
To show you what some of the things TennisDaze described will look like, below are RRC’s current map of that area with Sec 37 & 38 outlined, and the plat Chervon filed with RRC to permit the well they called the 38 D. That permit was approved last month so it might be the “new unit” you were hearing about, but most of the other wells Chevron has programmed crossing your two sections were approved last October or November.
