Trying to locate details on a few wells located in Pontotoc County OK. Not sure if they are active, plugged, lost in paperwork somewhere. I have found a section map but it does not show these ranges as reference, they have been in the family since 1988.
This is how they are written on the deeds
#1 is NE/4 section 17, township 4 north, range 7 east
#2 is sw/4, sw/4 and the se/4 nw/4 sw/4, section 8 township 4 north range 7 east
#3 is se/4 of the ne/4 section 4 township 3 north, range 5 east
any help would be greatly appreciated.
You will need to do a PUN search. Go to this website:
Oklahoma Taxpayer Access Point
Scroll down to Help, click “Public Pun Search”
When the page opens, scroll down and click the search by legal button. Click it then enter your legal descriptions. Note, Sections require 2 digits (eg 08 for 8) Likewise the township and range require 2 numbers plus the direction (eg. 04N 07E). I usually leave the Quarter blank. Then pull up the wells. If you see an active one click the link, then click printable which will show activity over the past 12 months.

You can also look up wells on the OCC Well Records site.
#1 is NE/4 section 17, township 4 north, range 7 east- McKeel 1 Dry hole
#2 is sw/4, sw/4 and the se/4 nw/4 sw/4, section 8 township 4 north range 7 east- all wells in SW4 are inactive
#3 is se/4 of the ne/4 section 4 township 3 north, range 5 east- only well is in the SW4 and is dry.
Thank You for your help, I am new to this, my grandfather handed them to my dad who in turn handed them to me in 2020. I have one in Coal County that is still producing currently.
I did as shown and found the info, I am to assume that once the area is dry, that they will not do any drilling in those areas again? Or do I need to keep a yearly search of the areas to see if any new productions occur.
Also is there a way to know which wells are in the mineral deeds that I have or are they all included in the deeds? Meaning any well in sw/4, sw/4 and the se/4 nw/4 sw/4, section 8 township 4 north range 7 east- all wells in SW4 would be in the deeded area I have?
