Hi - I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about on leasing activity happening in the area? I very recently bought 4 mineral acres and now the person who sold them to me is trying to buy them back. It seems a little unusual so just thought i would reach out.
We and family members have also received offers to buy mineral
rights in the Catarina area during the last month. Also, not sure
what is prompting the new interest.
Hey Pete - I did a little more digging and found out that Mesquite Energy (formerly Sanchez Energy) is actively leasing in the area. I dont know if your interest is leased or not but I would probably suggest you reach out if its the latter.
From gis.rrc.texas.gov/gisviewer it looks like there are
3 recently permitted units near A-757 in Dimmit County.
See API numbers (42)12738316, (42)12738317 & (42)12738318.
(The state code (42) is often not used on the RRC sites since
they are all presumably in Texas)
Not sure what this means for future lease activity since these
units were approved around March or April of 2020.
Anyway, the Texas RRC gisviewer is outstanding and you
can discern a lot about your land with this and the associated sites.
