No, but I am hoping Red Fork does…Its the Woodford Shale unit and they say its the best…so they say
Bob if that is 1 west I could find a pooling pending on 14 by Red Fork for whole section but no permit yet .
Bob, I’m mapping the area and have identified the Woodford. Good luck.
OK, my family are the Lowry’s who help settle Stillwater, my Great Grandfather worked with payne and was in the Spanish American War, his sword is in the Stillwater Museum. He was an attorney and newspaper man and donated a 100 acres so Stillwater could become a town and also help get Stillwater to be the county seat. my mother grew up in Stillwater and graduated from OSU. My homestead land is out by Lake Carl Blackwell, Section 14…thanks…
Steve Davis - DCP paid 200/rod in northern Payne County. I did have an oil/gas attny review contract & he added 3 pages of addendums. We did specify easement was for one line only.
Martha M Barnes would be the one to ask about dilution of you interest . Why would Devon lease in 17 if they had no interest ,and there are others leasing there . I know of no anti-dilution provision , other then your right to drill you own land and set back requirements . Devon Has even more going on in 19n-2w . I don’t see how they are drilling as many as they have .
Ron, My 40 acres and my family’s 40 acres in Section 17-19N-01W has not been leased in over 20 years and it is not pooled. The Woodford formation underlying the SE 1/4 of Sec 17 and the NE 1/4 of Sec 29 is being diluted. You are right that Sec 29 was pooled but Devon did not drill into the Woodford in Sec 29 instead they drilled into the Mississippian in Sec 29 and now they are having to pool the Woodford in Sec 29, but they are not pooling Sec 17 and I was wondering if anti-dilution provisions to horizontal wells might apply in Sec 17?
Ron McKenzie, As you know, Devon has drilled a horizontal single zone Woodford lateral from section 19-19N-01W SE into section 20-10N-01W completing the Peach 1-20WH NW NE Payne County. The Peach 1-20WH Woodford formation extends North into the SE 1/4 Section 17-19N-01W where I own the 40 acres that are not leased or pooled and South into Section 29 where KDM has minerals that are not leased and or pooled. Devon began producing from the Peach 1-20WH on 2/25/2013 and PVR Midstream is the purchaser. Is there anything I can do about the above? What would you suggest? Thank you for your help.
Martha/Ron, to my knowledge, sec 29 has not been pooled since Peach 1-29MH. Ihad high school football friday and jr high basketball today so its possible something slipped by me. Please advise.
Ron McKenzie, Correction, the Peach 1-20WH was drilled from Section 19-19N-01W into Section 20-19N-01W not 20-10N-01W.
Martha Are you concerned that thay are draining the formation ? Section 29 showed to have been pooled 7/12/13 . Devon or Red Fork have or are working on Poolings on sections 1,2,11,14,19,20,22,23,25,26,27,29,30,31,32,33. Devon did not start leasing in 17 until July 2013 . There are a lot of leases in 17 that are up this year to T.S Dudley, who had the most leases in 17 , but a lot of them have option to extend. Are you looking for suggestions to move pooling along ? If so I don’t know of much you can do . I wish I could be more help .
Ron and KDM, Here is a comment from a friend who is extremely knowledgeable about our area and he is not with Devon. I have completed my geological mapping of my area which includes KDM’s and have found that Devon’s lateral from Sec 19 runs across Sec 20 and is only 200’ from Sec 17 which is clearly not allowable and I reported my findings to my friend. Here is my friend’s quote on what I have found, “They should not be in 17 but they are 200’ away. That is the reason to move to get a well drilled.”
KDM and Ron, Devon should have leased or pooled you before they drilled the Peach 1-20WH. Clearly, they have not, so you have the same recourse as me that Ron stated and that is to drill your own land.
Ron, does ‘drilling your own land’ mean you have to own the surface and the minerals?
Here’s an article on horizontal drilling requirements in OK. http://nalta.memberlodge.org/Resources/Conference%202012/2012%20Spe…
Ron and KDM, Here’s an article on OCC horizontal drilling requirements. Questions? Yes I have many and will try to get them answered this next week and will report back to you.
Martha No you do not have to own the surface and all the minerals , you just have to have an interest in the unit and the resources to pool it . I wasn’t saying you should do it , just that it would be looked at as your option to prevent dilution of you assets, and one of the reasons they offer the pooling option .
Ron, Where can I find info on this pooling option?
http://www.occeweb.com/rules/Web%20Ready%20Ch10%20FY14%2007-01-13%2… . Martha I am not telling you it is something you need to do . It is assumed that you will lease to an oil co. and that they will protect you interest .
Thanks Ron, I do know how that works. Been there done that. Looks to me like Devon drilled horizontal from Sec. 19, and only pooled 19 for the Woodford, but Secs 17, 16, 20, 21, 29, and 28 are in this Woodford. I know there is an open interest in 29 as well as mine and family’s in 17. Does OCC just allow this type of dilution and disregard for the OK laws to take place?
