Every Texas lease HOUSTON EXPLORATION COMPANY, THE reports production on, valued at the published monthly benchmark.
Reported value by year
What HOUSTON EXPLORATION COMPANY, THE's leases reported, valued at the published monthly benchmark and summed by year. This is the state's volume times a published price — not what the company was paid, which no free source publishes.
The Railroad Commission's inspection files, covering Aug 1 2015 to Aug 7 2026, record no inspection of this operator. That is what the files hold. It is not a statement that none took place.
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 | 165 |
| R10 | no published meaning for this code | 14 |

The five commonest of 8 types this operator carries.
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 — 18 Dec 1996 to 17 Nov 2016. 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.
