Toni, I received a pamphlet for Centurion today. I am supposing all land owners received one because he had spoken with us and told us that we might be in the pipeline. The line goes straight from our property to China Grove tank farm. They spoke with the people working our land. Appears that preparation is beginning for more productuon or exploring.
There were several right of way for pipeline I this weeks paper.
Mitchell County up to 7 rigs running according to Midland paper.
Are they all Devin rigs, Wade?
Should say in this weeks paper.
There’s no rig data in the Abilene paper, but here it is: https://picasaweb.google.com/sonny.thomas631/May192013#58796

Are there any results from Treadaway yet?
Cheryl, Don’t know about the Treadaway.
Erle, Thanks for the picture and information on the Sellers location. That may make 3 Devon rigs in the county. I know they are still at the Adoue, I could see the rig last night. I haven’t been by the McGee in a couple of days, they should be finishing up there and heading to the Strain lease in the NW part of the county (unless they got sent to the Sellers instead). Have you seen what company and rig number is there Erle?
Does anyone know what co is drilling approximately 1 mile W on the North Side of I-20 and FM 1229
It has been up for a while now, and hear they are drilling horizontal, Section 34 Blk 27 T&P, I think it is CM Smith Jr…
I have now seen tanker trucks leaving there.
That should be the McGee well, I think.
I understand the rig on the Sellers#1-H that I photographed on Friday evening has moved. There are still trailers and activity, but the rig is gone. It was up for less than a week, so I’m sure they could not have drilled a well.
Yes it is the McGee well, by Devon.
@Erle - From your picture, it looks like a workover rig to me. (pulling unit)
Maybe the type they use to drill surface casing (right terminology?) before the other rig arrives on location?
Toni. Your comment sounds right to me.
Diana, Too early to judge. Look at the very high number of permits, though, published in the Midland paper. http://www.mywesttexas.com/business/oil/development_wells/article_0…
The Big Money Guys are cooling off on the Cline, according to the ones I work with. Wade, only 2 of those permitted wells are horizontals & just one of those is permitted for the Garden City Field.
This week, Laredo Petroleum announced the sale of its assets in the Anadarko basin to fund increasing drilling in the Cline shale. The press release indicated that they will be increasing from four to six rigs drilling in the Cline in 2013.
Nope, the Cline is an upper member of the Pennsylvanian Age. Wolfcamp is a much shallower and younger Wolfcampian age. I am a petroleum geologist and have worked both trends. Similar in deposition but different age. Devon has to be completely optimistic - way too much investor money not to be. A study was recently done by a new public company on the Cline Shale wells drilled by Laredo; they immediately said “no thanks” due to the economics (money spent vs. returns). I’m still geologically optimistic but when the money guys say NO, it’s a no-go. We’ll see.
There was no light from the tower on the Vic Adoue last night. Do we know any updates on it?
