Leases in this field

Every lease here files this field's number with the Commission and has a page on this site.

Field number 93049304, from the Railroad Commission's field register. The register's own index resolves 2 leases and 3 wells to this field by name, over every lease in Texas rather than only those with a page here. It resolves a lease by NAME and refuses an ambiguous one, so it counts nothing for a field that shares its name with another — which is why the lease count above comes from the field number instead.
