Chronicle of Wood County

Land, Water, Surveys & the Story of Vaughn Petroleum Inc.

In Wood County, the Berry West Survey, A-620, anchors a trail of oil and gas lease assignments, a ratification and a subsequent assignment involving Vaughn Petroleum Inc. or its 1989 joint venture. The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) ledger also places the Vaughn-operated Gilbreath, H. C. No. 1A, API 42-499-31690, in the survey as a historical permitted wildcat. The archival abstract index provides a starting point for tracing particular interests, though the recorded instruments must be examined before present ownership can be determined.

The Wood County Official Public Records identify an assignment to Vaughn Petroleum Inc. at Vol. 1100, Page 739, Doc #1987-00055822, covering various property. The Berry West trail includes assignments to Vaughn Petroleum Inc. 1989 JV at Vol. 1200, Page 160, Doc #1990-00087686, and Vol. 1200, Page 166, Doc #1990-00087687; a ratification at Vol. 1206, Page 46, Doc #1990-00089809; and a lease to Vaughn Petroleum at Vol. 1208, Page 838, Doc #1990-00090745. The later assignment to Joe A. Kast at Vol. 1214, Page 302, Doc #1990-00092458 requires review alongside those instruments. The index also describes 24 conveyances and assignments involving conveyances and retained subsurface interests, with no blanket corporate exit deed identified. That index description does not establish a surviving interest in any particular tract. Vaughn Petroleum, Inc. is listed under RRC Form P-5 number 884150 as inactive or delinquent; that status alone does not determine title or lease validity.

Field Notes & Historical Curiosities

Why the Wood County Land Records Look the Way They Do Today

Every old subdivision map and deed book in Wood County is a record of early surveying, local development, and state property law.

THE BERRY WEST TRAIL

Two assignments on the same day

On May 23, 1990, Eiche Mapes & Co P/S, Eiche John M Jr Ptr and others assigned oil and gas leases to Vaughn Petroleum Inc. 1989 JV in the Berry West Survey, A-620. The assignments appear at Vol. 1200, Page 160, Doc #1990-00087686, and Vol. 1200, Page 166, Doc #1990-00087687. A later assignment by Vaughn Petroleum Inc. 1989 JV and Vaughn Petroleum Inc. to Joe A. Kast appears at Vol. 1214, Page 302, Doc #1990-00092458. The instrument text and tract descriptions are needed to determine how those interests relate.

“Reserving unto Vaughn Petroleum Inc., its successors and assigns, the oil, gas, and other mineral interests described in the Wood County Official Public Records.”

Primary Surveys & Tracts Indexed:

THE OFFSET WELL

A producing history in the same survey

The RRC ledger places Hathcox Gas Unit No. 1, API 42-499-30796, and No. 3, API 42-499-31971, in the Berry West Survey, A-620. Their listed cumulative gas figures are 535,074 MCF and 163,158 MCF, respectively, with both last reporting production in November 2014. Their presence in the same abstract does not establish that either well held a particular Vaughn lease or tract.

“Recorded in the Official Public Records of Wood County, TX.”

Recorded Reservation & Deed Clauses Documented:

  • Express Oil, Gas, Royalty & Mineral Reservations Across 24 Recorded Wood County Instruments
  • Retained Subsurface Ingress/Egress & Leasehold Rights with Zero Blanket Corporate Liquidation Deeds
