Richard, I don’t see a new message. I clicked on my profile and clicked messages and the last one was on Dec 24.
Thanks Richard
Kevin, you last comment was uncalled for. This is an infirmation exchange forum in a polite and reasonable manner about the oil industry and it’s activities that affect forum members. If you have views that are opposed to the oil industry I advise you to find another place to put them. They will only be ignored here.
Don i do not think the turnpike will hurt matters, my rig was about 200 yards North of the turnpike and as you go back East towards the city there are several tank batteries seeing just inside the fence lines in the first five miles or so from my section. Maybe Brian in the Grady county forum can supply another map on 6N-6W and Michael help out with the pooling applications, I can not access that part of the OCC website my computor messes up every time. Don look in your message box and see if you could answer the question I have about BCT.
Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well, I’m not sure how to navigate through the occ website, can you guys tell me what, if anything is going on in sections 34-14n-9w and 4-13n-9w in Canadian county Oklahoma? I appreciate it, love reading what everyone has to say, very informative!
Thanks Michael! In section 34-14n-9w there are old wells producing a minoscule amount that’s tied up my family leasing anything, how can they lease again? Maybe someone has a depth clause? A lot of wells in that section were operated by Crow Creek but they went out of business and this Eagle Rock Mid-Continent took over. Is this a good company? About section 4-13N-9w Devon drilled a well over a year agon in the far northwest corner of the section but they drilled under the road and went into section 33-14n-9w I knew Chesapeake was doing something because I read it in the paper earlier last year but, never saw anything going on, their is an old well that was drilled back in the late 70’s that has my last name on them, that quarter has been in my family since the land run I am 5th generation there!
David, on 12/29/11 Eagle Rock Mid-Continent was granted a pooling order for the well Blalock 1-34H in 14N/09W. The first leasing option was $2000/acre 3/16 royalty. So far a permit has not been issued but is most likely in the works. The 4-13N/09W looks a bit more complicated. Devon has completed a well in that section but I didn’t find any production reports. On 2/10/11 Chesapeake was granted an Interm Order for Location Exception. I have no clue whats going on with this one. I did notice there were some older wells that had your last name on them
David, I believe thats whats called held by production and they must be producing " marketable amounts " to hold the leases. I wonder how strickly that is enforced. You might want to check out some of the other forums to get more expert opinions on your other questions.
Don U. I hate to impose on you but I wonder what your gut and experience tells you about possibilities in Blaine Co. 3-18-13, the SE/4 ?
p.s. It is just East of Canton at the intersection going to Fairview.
I have joined the Blaine Co. group but it is pretty quiet. I thought maybe you had personal experience with that area in the past, etc.
Thanks, Don.
Does anyone know what might be going on in Blaine County Section 19-15-10? The last I know of was that drilling started around July and spudding in August. Would like to know how to find out if it has been completed yet. I’ve kept my eye on OCC site, but from other posts, it appears it may be a long time before it shows up there. I may really be jumping the gun, as it may be not enough time to complete yet? Thanks for any information that might be available.
HBP or"Help by Production" can be a very tricky thing to try to prove that production is not going on at some rate. The company holding leases in this manner will do all that they can to hold to leases in this manner. Records of production will be hard to obtain by a party wanting the lease released.
In a hot play such as the Woodford shale a company holding a lease where the reserves are all bu gone is hoping for a larger company that will drill the deeper levels to come to them with what is known as a request for “farm our=t”. This means that a company like Devon would have the right to drill for the Woodford and pay all the expense. The company holding the HBP would negotiate an interest in the well or wells that would be not be a cost to them. For the royalty owner there is no difference in who drills and produces the well. Their loss is in not being able to collect a lease bonus for the new driling. This “Farm in” is a common practice spread across the indursty for many years.
Lanny-
At the top of this page ther is a very good representation of the play for the Woodford. Blaine is in it and is probably where they can get liquids along with the gas. There will be a Blaine County group that you can join and find out a more details from members holding mineral acres there.
Your description is in the NW part of the county and the activity might be low now. Hopefully for all concerned the play will expand and results will be positive. Lot’s has to happen and it will take time.
Thanks, Larry.
Angela, don’t cash the check and get a lawyer.
Lanny I have mineral rights in Dewey county in the first section west of Blaine Co line. It is just SW of Eagle City. We have a well that was completed in early July and is producing both oil and gas. I am originally from Canton so know the area you are talking about.
It has been 6 months and Continental still has not sent our papers. They did say they pay interest after 6 months. I got a contact name Friday that is handling our papers. We have left 3 voice mails but she has not returned any. I emailed the royalty dept. today and they responded with the email for the lady handling ours. I sent her an email but no response yet. I told her I was representing 6 family members so as not to have 6 different people calling. Hopefully we will hear something tomorrow. I feel we will get this month but that means no check until Feb. Oh well it should be a good one.
Larry, the wait may be longer than you think. All of this shale play activity across the U.S. has caught the energy companies unprepared. It takes trained people to process these payments to royalty owners. With the land interest owned by so many individuals the amount of royalty checks being delivered and going to be delivered probably runs in to the tens of thousands if not many more in Oklahoma and Texas alone.
There are just not that many trained people in the industry to process all of this in a timely manner. Furthermore you can’t go to your friendly temp help spot and hire an extra 50 or 100 temps to get you over the “boom period” all of these development go through.
Don’t be surprised if that contact does not call you back. She has got her hands full about 10 hours a day if she is doing her job right. The companies will not increase their staff to cover these boom periods because they know they will end at some point in time and those employees hired to help out will have to be fired.
Don I am sure you are right and they are very busy. Her boss may have told her not to respond to calls and emails and get work done.
