Inspections and violations
What the Railroad Commission's field inspectors recorded at this operator's facilities. An inspection count tracks how much this operator runs in Texas; the rate beside it is what the inspectors found.

|---|---|---|
| SWR 3.3(2) | Well Sign | 9 |
| SWR 3.22(b) | Bird Protection | 3 |
| SWR 3.14(b)(2) | Inactive Unplugged Well | 2 |

| SWR 3.3(3) | Battery Sign; Commingling Permit | 1 |
The five commonest of 6 rules cited against this operator.
What the Commission did
- Notice of Violation 17
From the Commission's inspection and violation files, covering Aug 1 2015 to Aug 7 2026. The two are separate files with no key between them, so the violations here are not a subset of the 12 inspections that found this operator out of compliance — they are counted from their own file.
Commission dockets
Cases the Railroad Commission opened naming this operator. Most dockets are applications — commonly for an exception to the statewide spacing rule — and a small number are compliance orders.
| Type | What the Commission's remarks call it | Dockets |
|---|---|---|
| A37 | Rule 37 spacing exception | 4 |
| INW | no published meaning for this code | 3 |
| GOR | no published meaning for this code | 1 |
From the Commission's docket file published 2025-02-05. It is the only copy on the Commission's link, so nothing filed after that date appears here. The dates shown are the earliest and latest the record carries — 12 Oct 1990 to 2 Sep 2020. The file holds eight date fields per docket and the Commission publishes no key to which is which, so none is named here.
Leases
Every lease is a page of its own: the monthly volumes the state published, multiplied by the monthly price. Value is lifetime, from Jan 1993.
