We have mineral interests in Dawson County but this is new to me. Being a novice please bear with me on this! We are part of the “Fox” (fictitious name) which contains the Fox A Unit and the Fox B Unit with one horizontal well on each. Each pooled unit contains 640 acres with the pads extending from north to south and terminating in A-9999 (also fictional). After looking at the Texas RRC drilling permits,I see (2) new permits approved that have their termination points in A-9999 of our Fox Unit. This is a different company with a different unit name attached. So, would it be possible that we may benefit from these new wells as they will be in our “Fox” pooled units? Thanks for any input!
To get a good answer, you need to post the wells and sections so someone can help you. There are too many possible variables here. You need to compare the plats and acreage covered, look at the proposed first and last takepoints, and other permit information.
I have examined our division orders and the associated declaration of pooled units so I can clearly see our defined units. When I looked at the RRC GIS map it shows said (2) new approved wells ending in our units southern most section. The new wells beginning point is like four sections south and ending in our section where our wells also end. New wells are a different operator and different named unit. I haven’t seen two different named units wells in the same parcel before.
From RRC’s map pull the permits for those two new wells and look at the plats that will be attachments at the bottom of those permits. Then consider what TennisDaze suggested on the take points shown on those plats.
I doubt it applies here, but it might also make a difference if the new wells are being drilled in a different formation from the wells completed in the original unit.
Thanks everyone for the helpful information. I will give everything a closer look and see where that leads. Always enjoy the Forum for the knowledge freely shared with folks like me who have a lot to learn……
