Every oil and gas well the state survey records has a page here: who operates it, its status and year, the formation, every record on file for its API number, what is permitted and completed around it, and what none of that says about who owns the minerals. Start with whatever you have.
Ten of the newest completion records in the survey, as examples. Read more on a card, or open the well page.
On a royalty statement or check stub it is usually listed per well, as a ten-digit number beginning with 47 (the West Virginia code), often written 47-xxx-xxxxx. A division order lists it too. If you only have a well name, search the lease name instead.
The survey records whoever the operator listed when it filed the permit, which may be decades ago and may be a prior owner, an estate, or a unit name. It is a lead to follow in the county records, not a statement about current title.
Not yet. Production is reported to the regulator separately and is planned as the next addition to well pages. Today the page shows status, year, formation, depth, and nearby activity.
Yes. On any well page, enter your email to watch the well. Every Monday you get one email with the well's operator and status, the newest production the state has for it with the change from the month before, any permit activity on it, and the county report. Watch several wells or counties and they all go into the same email.
