SONAT EXPLORATION COMPANY
Every Texas lease SONAT EXPLORATION COMPANY reports production on, valued at the published monthly benchmark.
Reported value by year
What SONAT EXPLORATION COMPANY'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.

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 — 3 Jan 1988 to 3 May 1999. 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.
