Just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to ALL my friends and relitives out there. I hope for the BEST for all of you. Take care and be safe!
Is the Cactus rig #134 the same as the Mashburn 1-33? I am new to all of this.
Michael J. The rig is the equiptment that drills the well and then moves on to another site, the well stays where it is. Rig 134 may have drilled the Mashburn but it is not the Mashburn. The Rig Fleets are mostly owned by contractors like Cactus Drilling who drill wells for companies like Newfield Exploration and Continental Resources. Other contractors provide services such as fracing and well casing.
@Linda Keck, don’t feel bad about the “LOL” thing. My wife thought that it meant “lots of luck” for a long time.
Charles…Lots of Luck does make sense especially on these mineral rights forums. Glad to know I’m not the only one that hasn’t kept up with the new lingo. I’m too old to absorb too much change at one time. I took a short hand class in college but didn’t do very well at it either and have forgotten all of it now.
Michael J…Many times the wells are named after the owners of the land where they put the pad and drilling rig. On the Mashburn the owner of the land is Bob Mashburn, on the Poteet the owner was Bob Poteet (he just passed away so it’s probably his wife or daughters), the Honeycutt is where Honeycutt’s home place used to be and probably belongs to their heirs now. I don’t know if Branches own the land where they drilled the Branch well or not (I thought Poteet owned that land but there are a lot of Branches around here so who knows).
Like Hutch said, several different Drilling Co. own the drilling rigs. The main ones in the Scoop area that I’ve seen have been Cactus Drilling, Precision Drilling, & Nabors Drilling (Nabors also own an oil company but do drilling for other people). Some oil companies own their own drilling rigs but most only contract the work out. Guess you call that “Sharing the Wealth”.
My DO’s from Newfield made reference to my interest in tract 8 & 9 on the Williams 1-19 2N 3W. Could someone please tell me what the term “tract” means, in relation to an oilfield location, and more specifically, how it relates to “section”? Thanx. Hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving

A parcel of land lying in more than one section or a parcel which cannot be identified completely as part of a particular section.
We just received an offer of $5500/acre for our 5 acres of rights. Is a person crazy to sell right now with all of the activity?? What are the odds that Continental will actually drill on our lease??
David…In my opinion (which is worth only what you have to pay for it) is the ones making these big offers for our royalty know they are probably going to drill a well or wells on the land or they wouldn’t be making them. We have been offered $5500/acre in the last few week by several people for our royalty in Stephens Co. 2n,4w and while they were drill the “Branch” well they even offered $6,000 an acre. Now they have a good well there and are going to drill at least 5 more (that we have the papers on) and we wouldn’t even consider selling. I think it would depend on one’s situation whether you should sell or not. You are certainly in a HOT SPOT with wells being put in all around you. Best Wishes for Good Decisions!!
Hutch, What Sec. in 3N 4W is to be drilled, 28 or 21 per this statement. Garvin: Newfield Exploration Mid-Continent., Gregory No. 1H Well, S/2 S2 SW/4 SW/4 (SL) of 21-03N-04W, TD 19,258 feet. This is from Tulsa World. We know there are 2 drilling pads completed in SW corner of Sec 21 3N 4W.And do you know results of Newfield’s pooling application that had been continued to Nov. 20th 2012? Would like your thoughts on this matter.
Richard…I’m sure Hutch will answer you when he gets up from his nap. lol I was wondering the same thing when I saw those two locations on 21 but I’m thinking that Hutch told me that your 28 was supposed to be drilled just from the north end of 28 up the west side of 28 and not from 21. But don’t hold my feet to the fire on that. I’m thinking that he posted a sketch on here of how it’s suppose to go. I’ve been wrong so many times I don’t trust me on anything I say. (Like they say about the bible “listen to the preacher and then go study for yourself to see if he’s right”. Do you know anything about how they are coming on your well on 33? Is that one going to be called the “Mashburn” something also?
Richard, Hearing for section 28 pooling rescheduled for Dec. 12 and 13, 2012. Maybe this will clear up how they snuck in the Gregory without any OCC apps.
Linda, How can you know me so well from so far away? I can’t get away with anything!
Richard, just when I thought I had it figured out they changed it. Newfield’s Gregory 1H-28 will have a surface location in 21-3N/4W but the horizontal and all production will be in 28. Continental’s Dickinson 1-21H will be entirely within 21-3N/4W. The well that Newfield was going to drill and still has OCC apps in for was supposed to have surface in 33 and go north through 28. I don’t know if the Gregory is instead of or in addition to that one. I found no OCC apps for the Gregory but I did see the drilling permit. This is my best shot at deciphering all that OCC stuff, no guarantee it’s right. I forgot to check the date on the pooling application, I’ll let you know.
So Hutch…is what you are saying is that one of those locations I saw built on 21 is probably going to be the pad for the well going across 28 3n,4w and be called the "Gregory? I thought Jason or someone said they told him the name would be the Robertson something???
Hutch, I would suggest that your knowledge of drilling business is exceeded only by your diligence. I will plagiarize an unknown author, unknown to me, and tell all, That’s my story and I am sticking to it. Sure do appreciate you Hutch.
Thanks Richard, I’m flattered. It is mainly just being able to navigate the OCC databases. An odd hobby but I enjoy it.
I posted some really good news on the Stephen group about noon today about the whole South Cana area. Too much to repeat on every post so click over if you want to read.

This site allows you to look at pipelines in your county. I saw natural gas, crude, NGL’s and CO2 pipelines. Also DCP has a 60 MMcf/d plant and fractionator at Countyline named Sholem.
Oklahoma
In 2010-11, Oneok will invest an additional $55 million in the Woodford shale in Oklahoma on gas gathering and processing and NGL segments.
These investments will connect the partnership’s western Oklahoma gas gathering to its existing 135-MMcfd Maysville gas plant in Garvin County in central Oklahoma, allowing it to accommodate growing production in the Woodford shale. The project is under construction and expected to be completed during this year’s fourth quarter.
These investments also include about $20 million for new well connections in 2010-11 to gather more Woodford shale volumes.
In the partnership’s NGL segment, capital investments include expansion of the partnership’s existing Oklahoma NGL gathering system to connect to the new 200-MMcfd gas plant currently under construction by Devon in Canadian County, Okla. and expected to be completed by yearend or early 2011. This expansion will increase accessibility of this new supply to the partnership’s Arbuckle pipeline and Mont Belvieu, Tex., fractionation.
The line going to the Maysville plant is visible on Google Earth and runs west to east across the north part of sec 28 4N 4W on its way from Grady county to Maysville.
