I drove by the wellsite yesterday morning. Rig is gone, but the gate guard RV is still there. In addition, there was a guy sitting in a pickup parked beside the RV.
It’s possible that they are still moving equipment out (can’t see the pad from the road) which would explain why the gate guard is still there. However, it is also possible that they only had a rig commitment for the test well and perhaps another rig will be brought in soon.
It can take several weeks to evaluate test results and develop a drilling plan.

What is the closest town to this well?
Grapeland, Texas is located in Houston County. This Yancy well is located in the northwest part of Houston County west of Grapeland. This area has all had both 2D and 3D shot over it. PGS did the 3D about 2011-2012. It was a total of about 500 plus square miles in this area done in 3 separate phases. They also did some in Madison and Leon Counties. This is a very old “play” started in about 1981. Horizontal Drilling at depths of 20,000 feet was not possible then. All these deep well test were vertical. No horizontal well has EVER been drilled at the 20,000 depth in Houston County.
