Texas RRC compliance monitoring

Stop severances before the letter.

We watch eight Texas Railroad Commission datasets and connect them, so a risk visible only across two systems lands as one line in your 7:00 AM briefing — with time left to cure it.

Blast radius

You can be shut in by someone else's violation.

When any lease on a shared surface commingle (Form P-17) is severed, every lease on that permit stops producing — including yours. The severance is filed against the other operator, so it never appears in your own records.

LettersIQ builds the commingle graph from imaged P-17 filings, then watches your neighbors the same way it watches you.

  • Hidden upstream

    You find out when your purchaser rejects the load — unless someone is watching the co-member leases.

  • One graph, every morning

    By hand this means cross-referencing two disconnected RRC systems every day. We do that before 7:00 AM CT.

Third-party lease 08-12345 (McFaddin Trust) on Clam Lake is under an outstanding severance.

Your leases 08-08559 and 08-09012 cannot produce until it clears.

How it works

New to the filings? Here's the whole loop.

  1. 01

    We scan

    Every dawn we pull eight public Texas Railroad Commission datasets — severance orders, certified letters, P-5 operator renewals, proration schedules and more.

  2. 02

    We connect

    We diff each one against yesterday and cross-reference systems that don't talk to each other — so a risk hiding across two separate filings surfaces as a single signal.

  3. 03

    You get one briefing

    By 7:00 AM you get one ranked email: what changed, why it matters for your leases, and how many days you have left to cure it.

Coverage

Eight datasets. One briefing.

Every morning we scan the public RRC record and diff it against yesterday. You only hear from us when something changes — never the same standing issue twice.

Daily

3 datasets
  • Severance & seal orders

    The original signal — plus an all-clear the day a lease is back in business.

  • Certified letters

    The last warning the Commission sends before a severance order. Catch it while there's still time to cure.

  • Proration schedules

    Delinquent codes (DLQ W-10, DLQ FORM, H-15 VIOL) and allowable changes, diffed off the schedule every day.

Weekly

5 datasets
  • P-5 renewal

    A 60 / 30 / 14 / 7-day countdown to your organization report expiry. An unrenewed P-5 severs every lease you have.

  • Rule 15 / inactive wells

    5- and 10-year inactivity milestones, W-3X extension status, and wells that newly hit the inactive aging report.

  • Surface commingling (P-17)

    Blast-radius monitoring — a severance on any lease sharing your commingle stops your production too.

  • Drilling permits (W-1)

    A countdown to the 2-year no-spud expiry, verified against the wellbore record so you're only warned on undrilled permits.

  • Gatherer / purchaser (P-4)

    Lost market outlets and operator-of-record transfers the day the Commission processes them.

What you get

More than a mailbox.

We watch the Commission so you don't have to — then explain every alert, trace its root cause, and hand you the exact filing that stands between a well and first revenue.

  • Warns early

    Certified letters, P-5 countdowns, and delinquent proration codes surface weeks before a severance order.

  • Explains the hit

    Every alert names the cause — P-5 lapse, delinquent W-10, Rule 15 — and the purchasers or gatherers tied to it.

  • Names the next filing

    When a well is producing with no allowable, you get the exact missing dependency standing between you and first revenue.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How the monitoring works, what's covered, and how billing scales — all of it, no digging.

What is well severance, and why should I be concerned about it?
Well severance occurs when the Texas Railroad Commission shuts in or seals a well due to violations of statutes, rules, permits, or orders. This action can halt production and lead to significant financial losses, making it crucial for operators to stay compliant and avoid severance actions.
How do I sign up?
Click the 'Get Started' button at the top of this page and we'll reach out right away.
What time does the report get delivered to me?
We deliver the report around 7:00 AM CT every day, right to your inbox.
How do early notifications benefit our compliance efforts?
Receiving early notifications, instead of waiting for traditional certified mail, gives you more time to respond to potential compliance issues. No more running the query manually, worrying about the mail on vacation, or waiting at the post office. Check the daily briefing and act on what changed.
What's your refund policy?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with our service, simply contact our support team within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
What kind of alerts and updates does your service provide?
We deliver notifications regarding any operational actions that may violate statutes, rules, or commission orders. This includes, but is not limited to, delinquent H-10 filings, fee dues, and any operational activities that need immediate attention to prevent severance. Right now, we focus on delivering Texas Railroad Commission notifications.
What does LettersIQ monitor besides severance letters?
Eight public RRC datasets: severance and seal orders, certified (pre-severance) letters, P-5 organization renewal status, the Rule 15 inactive-well aging report, monthly proration schedules, surface commingling permits (P-17), drilling permits (W-1), and gatherer/purchaser filings (P-4). We diff each one and email only what changed.
How can you warn me before a severance happens?
Most severances are preceded by public signals: a certified letter, a P-5 expiring, a delinquent W-10 on the proration schedule, or an unresolved Rule 15 well. We watch those upstream signals and give you a countdown, so you can cure the issue before the severance order is ever issued.
What is commingle blast radius?
If several leases share one surface commingling permit (P-17), a severance on any of them stops production on all of them — even leases you don't operate. Because the severance is filed against the other operator, it never appears in your own records. LettersIQ maps your commingles and watches every co-member lease, so you're alerted the moment a neighbor's problem becomes yours.
My well is producing but has no allowable — can you tell me why?
Yes. When a well shows no allowable on the proration schedule, we cross-reference its drilling permit and completion dependencies and give you a named checklist of what's missing — W-2/G-1 completion report, directional survey (W-12) for horizontal wells, L-1 electric log, W-15 cementing — so you can chase the exact filing instead of guessing.
How does P-5 renewal monitoring work?
We track your organization report's expiration date and count down at 60, 30, 14, and 7 days, plus an immediate alert if your status flips to Delinquent. An unrenewed P-5 severs every lease your organization holds, so this is the single highest-leverage date we watch.
Do I get the new alerts automatically?
Expanded alert types are included at no extra cost and enabled per organization, with zero change to the severance notifications you already rely on. Tell us to enable them and the new datasets start appearing in your next briefing.
