Regulatory Compliance

Navigating the Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) so you don't have to. We handle the paperwork, permits, and filings to keep your leases active and compliant.

Don't Let Paperwork Shut In Your Production

In Texas, drilling a successful well is only half the battle. The administrative burden of keeping it compliant with the Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) requires constant vigilance. A missed deadline, an incorrect P-4 transfer, or a failed mechanical integrity test (H-15) can result in severed leases, halted production, and thousands of dollars in fines.

Tektite Energy serves as your outsourced regulatory department. We proactively manage your RRC portal, handle routine filings, and untangle complex compliance issues, ensuring your back office runs as smoothly as your pumpjacks.

Comprehensive RRC Filings

We manage the full lifecycle of state and federal regulatory paperwork, from initial drilling permits to final plugging reports:

  • Permitting & Drilling: W-1 (Drilling Permits), W-2/G-1 (Completion Reports), and exception requests (Statewide Rule 37/38).
  • Production & Operations: PR (Monthly Production Reports), P-4 (Certificate of Compliance and Transportation Authority), and P-8 (Request for Clearance).
  • Well Integrity & Inactive Wells: H-15 (Mechanical Integrity Tests), W-14 (Inactive Well Compliance), and plugging extensions.
  • Injection & SWD: Form H-1/H-1A (Injection Well Permitting) and annual H-10 reporting.

Severance Resolution & Enforcement

If your lease has been severed by the RRC, every day matters. We specialize in rapid severance resolution. Our team audits the exact cause of the violation, communicates directly with RRC district directors, and executes the necessary field corrections and filings to restore your Certificate of Compliance and get your oil flowing again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help us take over operations of newly acquired wells?

Yes. We handle the entire operator change process (Form P-4), ensuring that the bonding is correct, organization reports (P-5) are active, and the transition is seamless with the RRC.

Do you manage inactive well (W-14) compliance?

Absolutely. We track your inactive well inventory, coordinate the necessary fluid level tests or mechanical integrity tests, and file the appropriate extensions to keep you off the RRC's radar.
