The Burleson County grantor index records WCS Petroleum, Inc. conveying interests out of Giddings Field Austin Chalk & Eaglebine Horizontal Drilling Units, Burleson County, Texas (Burleson County Official Records Vol. 37, Page 907 & Vol. 39, Page 126 (39 Strict Reservations / 155 Instruments, 1978-1991)) while embedding specific tract calls across Active Burleson County Horizontal Leasing Surveys (321 Recorded 2024-2026 Leases in Exact Abstracts).
