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 40 inspections that found this operator out of compliance — they are counted from their own file. 3 of the violations were still uncorrected when the inspector returned.
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 |
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 — 5 Jan 2017 to 7 Sep 2017. 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 Oct 2014.
Pipeline systems
The named networks B&L EXPLORATION, L.L.C. operates. One physical pipeline is usually filed as hundreds of segments, so a system — not a segment — is the unit worth reading.
| System | Miles | Segments | Counties |

| PH WELDER SYSTEM (FLOW LINE) | 0.8 | 1 | 1 |
