QuarterSection

What is QuarterSection?

Oklahoma's public records on your minerals, in one place and in plain English: the wells, their production and the Corporation Commission's filings. Who it's for, what it does, and what it doesn't.

QuarterSection is for mineral owners who want to know what's happening on their land, and for the landmen, attorneys, CPAs and buyers who work those sections for a living. We gather the state's own records, watch them every day, and tell you when something changes.

You start with a legal description: section, township and range. Everything else hangs off that.

What QuarterSection shows for a section

To show you, we'll use one real section: Section 6, Township 17 North, Range 6 West, in Kingfisher County. It's an active section, with horizontal wells and open cases at the Corporation Commission.

The wells on your section, on a map

You see the wells the state has on file for the section, drawn over the township grid with county lines. Where the state reports where a horizontal well ends, we draw its path underground. Click any well to open its record.

Production back to 1990

Each well has its monthly oil and gas volumes from the Oklahoma Tax Commission's reports, charted back to 1990. New months show up one to three months after the oil and gas is produced. That lag comes from the state's reporting, and our data page explains it.

Corporation Commission cases and orders

The OCC cases and orders that touch your section sit in one list. Open one to see when it was filed, what the operator asked for (spacing, pooling, increased density and so on), and the order itself. You can also search cases by county, section, operator, case type or filing date.

Save what you find

Any section you look up can go into a portfolio, organized however suits you, by family or by client. Once a section is in a portfolio, we watch it for you: new OCC filings and new production data for it come to you as alerts. You can also keep a watch list of sections you don't own, or set alerts for a whole county.

Adding the searched section to a portfolio, then the portfolio with its wells.

Alerts, by email and in the app

We check the Corporation Commission every day. When a new filing touches one of your sections, pooling included, we tell you. When the state releases a new month of production, we tell you that too. If a well on your section changes operator, you'll see it in the app. You choose which kinds of alerts you get and whether each arrives by email, in the app, or both. Coming soon: alerts for drilling permits, new wells starting to drill, well completions, and a new well's first month of production. Your alerts page marks which types are live.

Your portfolio, papers and exports

Record your net acres and decimal interest on each property. Keep your leases, division orders and deeds attached to the property they belong to. Export a portfolio, a property, a well list or a production history to Excel or CSV. Portfolio and property workbooks include a sheet of the OCC cases on their sections.

If you own minerals

Most of what you hear about your minerals arrives in the mail: a lease offer, a notice from the Corporation Commission, a royalty check that looks different from last month's. The letter rarely explains itself, and the records behind it are spread across several state websites.

If something is happening on your section. Say you got a lease offer or a pooling notice. Look up the section and you'll see the wells around you, the OCC case the notice came from, and the order itself. A pooling notice usually comes first; the order comes later, in a separate mailing, and says how long you have to choose. Read it, and talk with an oil and gas attorney who represents you before you decide. Our free lesson on pooling orders walks through the choices.

Once your section is saved, you don't have to go looking. If a pooling case is filed on it, or anywhere in a county you've set alerts for, we tell you by email and in the app.

If you live out of state. Oklahoma files notices whether or not word reaches you. We watch every day, and the news reaches you by email or in the app, wherever you live. You decide which kinds of alerts you get.

When a word stops you. Help sits next to the thing it explains. Short explanations appear beside the controls they describe, with a link to the full answer. When you add a property and don't know your net acres, a helper works them out with you from the paperwork you have. Guided tours walk you through the main screens, and our free Learn lessons explain terms like spacing, increased density and decimal interest in plain English.

The quickest way to see what we see is a free section report. Enter your section and we email you its wells, production, OCC filings, and who operates the wells and buys the production. No account and no card.

If you do this for a living

Landmen, attorneys, CPAs, buyers and estate professionals already know where the records are. The trouble is that they're in five places. QuarterSection puts them in one.

  • Look up a section and get its wells, production history and OCC docket together.

  • Search OCC applications and orders by county, section-township-range, operator, case type or filing date, and stack the filters.

  • Export a portfolio or a property to Excel, with a sheet of the OCC cases on its sections, or to CSV, and choose the columns. Well lists and production histories export too.

  • Watch the sections and counties your clients care about. New filings reach you by email, in the app, or both.

  • Keep each client's sections in their own portfolio, with net acres and decimal interest.

What QuarterSection doesn't do

  • We don't tell you what your minerals are worth or what you're owed. We show the state's numbers and label what they cover.

  • We don't give legal or tax advice. We show you the filing and explain what kind of document it is. The decision stays with you and the attorney or CPA who represents you.

  • We don't buy, sell or broker minerals.

Where the information comes from

Everything in QuarterSection comes from public records. Production volumes come from the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Wells, filed documents and case activity come from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. We track more than 450,000 Oklahoma wells, counted against the state's own well list. We show the state's numbers as reported, and when we show a filed document, we link to the state's copy.

Our data page lists every source, how fresh each one is, and the limits we hold ourselves to.

Who built it

QuarterSection was built by an oil & gas attorney, a 20-year Oklahoma landman, a mineral owner, and his son, the developer who built it. Attorneys and landmen keep the judgment. We supply the records.
