About the East Texas Basin Formation in Texas

The East Texas Basin is one of Texas's active oil and gas plays, with 14,102 wells on file across 1,589 distinct operators of record. Operators have filed 816 drilling permits targeting the East Texas Basin in the last 24 months — a measure of how active the play is right now versus its historical baseline.

For mineral owners with interests in Navarro, Titus, Franklin, Falls, Wood, knowing whether your tract sits within an active East Texas Basin footprint is a foundational valuation question. Active formations with consistent permit flow command premium pricing; legacy formations with steady but declining production are valued differently.
