A-8, DYSON, J Survey, Orange County, Texas
Abstract 8 in the Original Land Survey grid. This is the description a mineral deed uses for land in this county.
On the ground
The abstract as the Commission draws it, on satellite imagery. The faint outlines are the neighbouring abstracts in Orange County; click one to open it.
A pin outside the outline is normal. The Commission files the coordinate of the well’s bottom hole and the abstract of the tract where it was permitted. A horizontal well enters the ground in one survey and bottoms in the next, so about one well in five sits outside the shape it belongs to. A horizontal well’s bottom hole sits a median 2,780 m from its abstract against 877 m for a vertical one, which is a lateral’s length. The Commission also states that its coordinates are interpreted from survey boundaries and are not necessarily true geographic locations.

5 of 17 leases are not linked. Texas files 516,445 leases and gives a page only to the 327,776 that ever reported a volume, so a lease can be named on a well and have no record to open. The well IS on that lease either way. The operator is linked from the lease, so a well without a lease page carries no operator link either.
