Many people do not realize that oil and gas wells have been drilled for over 100 years in numerous areas. In fact, it is estimated that over 2.5 million wells have been drilled onshore in the United States. This map from the USGS in 2017 shows the extent of known wells. The likelihood of property being affected is very high regardless of where you live.

Oil and gas well sites are not included in title work. Mineral leases are recorded in title work, along with any easements, but the actual well location is not identified. Since these old wells are cut off below ground, they do not show up on a survey. This also means any old buried pits or gathering lines are not identified. Therefore, you are not aware of their existence.
Studies show known oil and gas wells close to homes can reduce their value by 15%. Imagine how much the value of your home could be reduced if hidden wells are found. As an example from a real neighborhood, the stars in the picture show plugged wells, which are all below ground.

Most oil and gas wells are plugged with cement. No one knows exactly how long cement plugs will last, but they have only been used for about 100 years. During this time, many failures have occurred. As with any engineering solution, failures occur if there is no maintenance. Determining if failure is occurring is difficult when it is below ground. This picture depicts an exposed plugged well that is slowly leaking.

We offer three solutions to learn about old oil and gas activity on property: WellFacts™ QuickScreen, WellFacts™ Report, and WellFacts™ Pro. You can start with QuickScreen because it provides information on oil and gas well density by zip code. Once you have a specific home in mind, Wellfacts™ Report identifies if there is old activity or not on a property. If there is activity, Wellfacts™ Pro gives a more detailed analysis.
