SONRIS, pronounced Sun Rise, Strategic Online Natural Resource Information System.  The Louisiana state O&G database in the gold standard of state databases and easy to navigate with a little practice.  I'll post a few links below.  Save them to your computer.

most of what you want is in the section, Well Information.  The basic searches are for permits (Permitted Wells by Date/Parish).    Wells by Section, Township, and Range (fill in the township and range but leave the section box blank to pull up all the sections and then scroll through them to see all the wells that could be relevant.  Wells are organized by the surface location which is often not the section or sections being produced.  Those section numbers appear in the well name.

This is the first public record that shows the intent to drill new wells.  These agenda items require notice letters to land and mineral owners of record within the unit or units covered and to those immediately adjacent to a distance of 1000 feet.

Ask questions and spend some time looking through the search options.  Only a handful are really useful for mineral owners.  The rest are for industry and staff use mainly.  Keep in mind, there are no dumb questions.  The mineral space is complicated and arcane but with a little work mineral owners can access much of the information that is relevant for them.  Good luck.
