What type of information can I obtain from the Railroad Commission?
You can obtain a wealth of helpful information from the Railroad Commission. If you go onto the Railroad Commission’s website, there is an extremely helpful GIS viewer on which you can find records and information for almost all wells in Texas. From the GIS viewer you can access drilling permits, well logs, imaged records for the well, production data and numerous other documents and items of information. The Railroad Commission website is an outstanding resource for conducting research into oil and gas development that may be occurring near your tract of land.
