BoreTrail compiles public Railroad Commission of Texas records into a short screening report on the wells in a deal: inactive wells, Rule 15 extensions, plugging cost views, and severances. It is built for well buyers, lenders, landmen and title attorneys.
Request a free pilot reportSee two samplesWhen wells change hands, plugging duties and RRC compliance items generally move with them. The report puts the public record for a package on one page, so the most important items are easy to see first.
Producing vs. inactive wells, shut-in dates, and years inactive, per RRC queries.
Which wells may need extensions, and the security or escrow options a new operator would likely face.
The RRC Cost Calculation (depth × district rate) alongside a published-study screening range. Estimates, not quotes.
Outstanding and historical severances, and the operator's P-5 status. Checks not run are labeled "not run".
Who it's for: buyers reviewing a package, lenders reviewing collateral, landmen and title attorneys who want the regulatory side next to their title work. Ownership, title and surface rights are outside its scope.
Same layout, real public data, identifiers anonymized.
All inactive since 2013 with Rule 15 extensions on file; a plugging obligation a buyer would likely inherit.
No inactive wells and no outstanding severance on the lease; plugging remains a long-term item to plan for.
A version of the same checks for small operators reviewing their own RRC record: P-5 renewal, inactive wells and extension timing, and severances. If that would help you, mention it in your request.
We're learning how professionals handle this today. In exchange for a free report, we'd ask for about 15 minutes of feedback. There's no obligation.
