Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
