Hwy 29
Hutch.....You are correct, Continental controls sec 7. The Joann was issued a permit to drill in Feb with SHL in sec 7 and the HO runs south 4950' thru sec 18. The McElroy permit was issued in Mar with SHL in sec 18 and the HO runs south 4950 thru sec 19. As far as I know the McElroy plans have not changed from what I saw back in October 2012.
Linda....Yes we own a small interest in sec 19 so we are excited to see Newfield get started.
Lloyd, whats interesting if you look on the second page of the JoAnn permit it references a location exception with SHL in sec.19. They don't know if they are going north or south!
Lloyd and Lea...Next time I go to the diggins I'll go a little further west and check on the McElroy.
The are back to drilling again on both of the last two Branch wells so maybe they will have those two rigs loose before long and we can get them all fracked. It doesn't look like they will be able to stick with the date of April 15th for that like was planned but maybe soon.
Hutch....You are correct, they don't seem to know if the are coming or going. Let me put it this way. Just as long as Newfield goes all the way thrrough sec 19 will be fine with us.
Linda......Good to hear that progress is being made on the Branch wells. I'm sure they will be fracking soon.
Appreciate the offer to check on McElroy.
Our hearts and prayers are going out to the bomb victims in Boston!
Amen
Linda: You are so right. A couple from the Houston area missed the explosion by a few minutes. Father and daughter crossed the finish line and were resting up when the blasts occurred. Prayers. Jim
I would like to find out the latest production figures for a well in Blaine County. It is the Birds Nest 1-6H in 6-14-11. I'm sure there must be somewhere to look this up. I would appreciate any information.
Angela,
I did not find any reports for this year. Just end of year figures. Maybe someone else has a better source?
Angela,
Sadly there is not really a public way to look them up. At least not all of it. You will find the gas production on the OCC site. However, those records are mostly incomplete and in many cases not accurate http://www.occpermit.com/WellBrowse/ The API of that well is 3501123453 .
Here is the OCC GAS
September 2012 32318
October 2012 35086
November 2012 31703
December 2012 31027
January 2013 29590
February 2013 25289
Shoot me a friend request and a message and I can give you a few other options and info.
It looks like it was producing about 180 barrels a month of oil in the last half of 2012.
Darla,
I'm not seeing anything but 2012 data except from OCC gas reports. But most of my other sources usually lag 6 months or so anyhow.
Rick What do you show for gas production on Birds Nest well from first prod. date of April 2012 to Dec. 2012 as reported on D.I. . Is that MCF or CF ?
Ron,
I'm pretty sure that DI is not correct. They are showing ~5,700,000 cumlative, but the first month is ~5,500,000 of that.
The numbers @ OCC and DI should be MCF. Some others uses MMCF (M=1000) It looks like they entered CF figures for month one. (April 2012)
Ironically all 4 reports I looked at show various months missing where others show production. However some of them get the data from various sources. Based on numbers I have looked at I would say it was 362,000 MCF total from April-Dec 2012 would be pretty close.
Thank you everyone who went the extra mile to help find something on the Bird's Nest.
Rick,
Thanks for the information on Bird's Nest in Blaine County. I received a payment from Devon on this well monthly from October through March 15 (which was for 1-2013 production) , but nothing since. I've contacted Devon and have received no response.
Is that normal that payments would be intermittent? I see production numbers at OCC for January and February.
As a general statement, sometimes these wells are shut down for a period of time for various well treatments, and sometimes these can take weeks. The other thing that can happen is that in a particular month, you may not meet Devon's minimum threshold of payment, in which case they would accumulate money for you until it does. I don't know that either of these apply in your case, but that is often what the problem is. Devon is especially overloaded right now, and not particularly responsive.
Steven,
The oil companies should be paying each month sales occur unless they area under the threshold as JW stated. They have to pay if the amount is over $10, but can amounts up to $100 if they have an agreement with the owner. I think you will find that agreement in your division orders. Most have it. If you look at your check stubs, I think you will find gas sales to be minimal and monthly oil is what drives up your check. The OCC number you are seeing are only for gas production.
This well is producing low enough that the tank may not be filling to a full truck load each month. I see that happen quite a bit with our wells. They will sell 150-180 barrels at a time and 1 (to several) months will skip and it is not producing much.
Been offered a Lease in Stephens co. for $ 300.00 bonus and 3/16 for 3 yrs. is this the going rate. for sec. 33-T2N-07W? Thanks for any info.
For everyone in these discussions....
Do NOT do business with Ferrell Oil out of Oklahoma City. We had an offer to purchase minerals in Grady County, 11-03-06. Jim Meyer with Ferrell said he represents a college endowment fund and wanted to purchase our property for the school. We negotiated a purchase contract with them and was asked to fax it to them with our signature so they could show it to the school to get funding to close the purchase. He said it would take 30 days to do a title opinion. They, however, never did sign the contract and return it to us.
As it turns out, they are a broker and do not purchase property for their clientele rather than look for a buyer once you agree to sell to Ferrell Oil. They will want to issue you a 30 day bank draft and if they can't find a buyer for your property in those 30 days, they just don't pay the draft. We negotiated to be paid by ACH/Wire Transfer.
We will find another buyer but DO NOT do business with Ferrell Oil out of Oklahoma City unless you want to sit around, be lied to and then never get the deal closed.
Also be wary of them doing business under another name.
