What the Commission did

  • Notice of Violation 24

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 15 inspections that found this operator out of compliance — they are counted from their own file. 6 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.

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 — 6 Feb 2015 to 9 Mar 2015. 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.
