Martha,
My comment was because of the layout of the site, not your posts.
Because everything is posted to the “comment wall” instead of discussion topics, it is very difficult to follow a “conversation”.
Does anyone know about the new pad on sec 36, 19n 2e? Are they going to be turning north into sec 25? Thanks
I’d guess Devon is counting on the tax rebate on the horizontal wells in the Woodford. I think it was just extended for 3 more years. The tax rebate makes me wonder if they won’t attempt to blow out the wells and get all they can in the three year period instead of a slower production rate.
Rick you for the clarification.
Rick, correction: Thank you for the clarification.
Go Fast, Companies used to be able to blow out wells back in the day when we didn’t know how to frack shale horizontally. They were good at pulling formations to fast, watering up wells, making a quick buck and walking away leaving 80 - 90% of the oil and gas in the ground. Now, I just can’t believe companies like Devon will walk away loosing billions for a 3% tax rate.
Oklahoma Statute requires payment by the end of the sixth month following initial production. If not, they are to pay 12% interest. Apparently they take the full 6 months. They told me they will pay a lump sum for the first 6 months then monthly thereafter. Devon has an owners relation hotline and has gotten back to me a couple times. Takes few days longer than 48 hours which is their goal. I had to leave a couple messages this time. The number is 228-4800 option 5. They could answer your other questions. Several month ago when I contacted them they said they were not planning other wells in Payne County 09-20N-02E.

On June 12, “Costs and Benefits” will feature Drs. Larry Sanders and Shannon Ferrell who will offer basic facts about state and federal environmental laws that have implications for industry, communities and consumers.
Clark, I could only find one well, Hudson 31-19N-01W, which is a single zone Mississippian horizontal (1MH) and don’t know of any proposed wells in Section 31, but Ron McKenzie may have more info.
HUDSON 31-19N-1W 1MH
I spoke with Devon owner relations contact today and was told that royalty checks for 09-20n-02e should be going out by July 15. Since surface well is on 10-20n-2e I assume the same timing may be true for sections 4,3,and 10. Title opinion is pending for that well. Initial production started early in January. I have not seen any production numbers yet but would be interested if anyone has them.
sec 28
Sec 28, T20N R2E. I talked with Devon on May 8th and they told me the well has been drilled and it would be another 4-6 wks before production is known. This is the first contact I have with them since I signed the lease last Oct. Is this normal procedure as I know nothing about what to expect.
Another forum will be held 6/19/14 in the library at 6:30pm. If you are a mineral or royalty owner, please come! Payne Co is being overtaken by the crazies! About 90% of the people showing up are against oil/gas exploration & production. They are working to stop fracking, have oilfield trucks banned from county roads, stop drilling, just to mention a few things. Forewarned is forearmed! http://info.library.okstate.edu/sciencecafeosu
I heard last night that in OK, the mineral owner can grant permission for the seismic survey and the surface owner can’t do anything about it. I just thought that was interesting, since the survey crews do offer the surface owner ‘something’ for coming on the property to do the survey.
Thanks all for the info. I followed your instructions Phillip, don’t find anything posted yet but I will keep checking.
Go Fast, The ag professor is probably correct, but the spill I heard about had more than 2% oil, so surface owners might want to get a little test kit and test the soil before it’s dumped, or have periodical testing. Seems like I read that the soil farm owner will have no legal recourse for contamination after 10 years, but can’t remember where I read it.
Sandra It is normal not to hear from them again after you sign lease until you get divison order and then check. If they get a well.
Phillip,
The OCC website has the first few months of production posted for those sections 3,4,9,10 T20N R02E, The OCC website has a way to see all the production numbers using their website but they are a few months behind.

Form 300R, purchaser# 21108, it is sorted by month and year, click the month and year and it will give you a pdf of a few hundred pages, find your pun# and there ya go, the production info above is the most current, no postings yet for APR or MAY, Since the oil company won’t give out the numbers at least the OCC gives us public access.
We have an offer for $2000 per well to spread drilling fines, is this a fair price? Also this would be on a creek bottom, how concerned should we be about potential uranium?
Rob, I do not know if $2000 is a good offer. I suggest talking to Payne County OCC field Inspector Stanley Longan @ 918-605-984 - The Oklahoma Dept of Environmental Quality @ 405-702-0100 - Payne County Soil Conservation @ 405-372-7201 and OK Natural Resources Conservation Service @ 405-372-7071.
Concerning soil farming -

The ERASC provides technical information and addresses scientific questions of concern or interest on topics relevant to ecological risk assessment at hazardous waste sites for EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) personnel and Regional Superfund/Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) staff. Requests must be channeled to ERASC through the Ecological Risk Assessment Forum (ERAF). To assess emerging and complex scientific issues that require expert judgment, the ERASC relies on the expertise of scientists and engineers located throughout EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) labs and centers. ERASC develops responses that reflect the “state of the science” for ecological risk assessment and also provides a communication point for the distribution of the responses to other interested parties.
