VARGAS OIL & GAS
Every Texas lease VARGAS OIL & GAS reports production on, valued at the published monthly benchmark.
Reported value by year
What VARGAS OIL & GAS'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 line breaks where the operator filed nothing that year. A gap is a gap, never a zero — the Commission holds no report for those months, which is a different fact from a year of no production.
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.

What the Commission did
- Notice of Violation 33
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 28 inspections that found this operator out of compliance — they are counted from their own file. 12 of the violations were still uncorrected when the inspector returned.
The Railroad Commission's docket file published 2025-02-05 names no case against this operator. That is what the file holds. It is not a statement that none exists.
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.
