Cheryl, Not necessarily unless you own the surface, or unless you have it in your lease. Is okay to call, but expect a difficult time finding out when they are going to drill.
Mrs. Everett, thank you very much for your reporting. Even though I am a part time resident of Mitchell Co. and familar with most of the roads and landmarks, most people on this forum are not and it is great to have eyes and ears on the ground to keep us informed as to what is going on.
Good luck to your husband on getting the gauger job and let`s hope the wells do not turn out to be like the horizontal well drilled by Big K Oil and Gas in extreme Northeastern Mitchell Co. in Aprill, 2011.
Toni, do you subscribe to the CC Record?
j richardson, Still flowing back the frac load on the Webb location. Continual stream of water trucks hauling salt water out.
The Mayse didn’t have activity over Thanksgiving weekend. The frac has been done but the flowback work has not commenced. Construction on the tank battery continues. I was in Lubbock last night, Bill told me that on the phone.
I haven’t been back south on 208 to see if any more is done on the gas line toward the Mayse.
Bill has been told that Firewheel and Devon take different approaches to the timing of their post-frac work. Not that one approach is better than the other, just different.
If the Firewheel well makes, Bill is going to sub-contract the pumping, so we really will be limited about what we can report, no production numbers. I am sorry, but we don’t want to risk him losing the work because his wife reports too much on MRF : (
Everyone have a good weekend. This is indeed like hatching an egg. The waiting…
Clay, you make me laugh!! The things I probably still could report though, would be what you saw if you were driving down FM2319 by the location, that anyone could see, like gas flaring or oil hauling trucks instead of water hauling trucks.
Its probably comparing apples to oranges because the Big K well was drilled targeting the Strawn which I believe is deeper than the Cline and a shallower play. It was drilled in extreme Northeast Mitchell Co, in Block Y, sec. 26 T&PRR survey. Total depth was about 7500 ft. with a 5000 horizontal bore. It was drilled in April 2011 and I guess that was before the Cline Shale was concidered feasible. The horizontal bore went up into Scurry county for a short distance. The oil company touted it in their press releases as one of the bigger oil discoveries in West Texas, that initial flow was 750 boe per day and after 3 or 4 months it would produce 300 boe for an estimated 10 years. I have been unable to find anything else about the well except it was finally declared a dry hole and was plugged. It is about 1/2 mile West of 644 on Co, road 458 on the North side.
Heck, Toni, we wouldn’t tell anyone.
J, It’s enjoyable to report and I would want to know what was happening if I didn’t live here.
I didn’t know about the Big K well, was it an early Cline Shale drill project? What happened?
If you go to google earth and look just north of CR 458 on the east side of CR 422 you can see 4 storage tanks and a pump jack I believe. The GLO map that someone posted a link to awhile back shows a red line, presumably a horizontal well, qbout 1/2 mile east of these storage tanks. Just more info, probably useless, in case anyone is interested. 
Toni, I’ve noticed reprints of a couple of the articles that have been linked to on this forum, especially the headline story in this past week’s paper on the Cline Shale being the largest oil and gas boom in history which I posted in the Press Releases for the Cline Shale above. I also saw your name in the Public Records from the previous record. I also noticed that there were a lot of O&G Leases to Kew Drilling.
ohhh…this is giving me an ulcer.
There are two producing wells about 1/2 and 1 mile Northwest of the Big K well.
Gary, I do subscribe.
Here is a little update for the day. Made a couple of pictures but I couldn’t get them to attach.
The Scharlach location (Devon) still doesn’t have a rig.
The Wulfjen location (Devon) has just been completed, they put in the drilling cellar and lined the drill pit, just started hauling water to the drilling pit in the last couple of days. No new word on when the rig will arrive, last week we were told it would be two weeks.
Drove by the 12" (sorry, we had said 8", we were wrong) poly low pressure gas line that is being built from the Mayse Well to CR 337, heading west across Hwy 208 to the Pecan Valley Station which will house a compression station. Probably 15 workers out there, welding and operating equipment, putting things together. Oryx Oilfield Services is constructing the gas line, Lucid was welding some kind of pipeline tie in (for lack of a better description, should have taken Bill with me). The gas will be partially processed by removing the heavy liquids before going into the Atmos Line.
Made some pictures, visited with the foreman on site, who was a really nice man, will write a story and submit it to the newspaper here after I check a couple of sources for permission and accuracy.
Flowback crew working at the Mayse well today. They were tight lipped, probably wouldn’t even talk if I took them home made cookies. Said they would be there a couple of months. Suggested if I wanted a picture I should go back to the cattleguard, I said DANG, that’s a half mile away, my camera can’t see here from there. He just smiled and said, no really, you better get Devon’s permission.
Nothing new on the Webb location.
Gary, Was there something in the paper that caught your eye?
The paper, or filings or whatever are several weeks to months behind. Ours has not been in the paper yet. We got our money a month ago. I know several of the cousins have told me they had their money and it was at least a month before it was in the paper. We filed all of the estate paperwork, and it was in the next weeks paper. Toni, got to keep those arrest records out of the paper! 
Another quick update…
There was a crew setting surface casing on the Wulfjen lease this afternoon. A man was there who will be in charge of the rig when it arrives and he says 3 - 4 weeks, that they have had some delays on their present job.
Also told me that the location has been completed on the Wallace and surface casing has been set. He didn’t know when the rig for the Wallace location will be arriving. I guess everyone but me knows how to get to that location…
Gary, I have asked them to stop publicizing my arrest records.
Besides the little ad in the back of the paper to buy mineral rights, did you also see the large ad on p 3 wanting to buy minerals? Bill was talking with a county resident earlier this week who was offered $3,000/ac for his minerals. My niece got a call several days ago from a man offering $1,000 - $5,000 an acre. She said he never really explained which areas he was offering $5,000 for.
There continues to be several new leases every week, and a few assignments of land previously leased going to other companies, all recorded in the paper.
LOVE my Colorado Record. One comes in the mail Thursday, but I usually go to town on Wednesday afternoons so I can go ahead and pick one up. KIDDING ABOUT THE ARREST RECORD…mine was a land transaction.
See commnet posted Nov 22.
Toni, could you give the block and section numbers for the leases you talk about? Also, looking at the Public Records, would I be correct in assuming that the Wulfjen lease is your family? Finally, do you know anything about Kew Drilling?
