Gonzales County, TX - Oil & Gas Discussion

Comment

Comment by Steven Ilkay on Friday

Terry, the number of Frac stages is what will drive Hz well costs. The well cost seems high, but without knowing what they are trying to accomplish, it would not be fair for me to say. Drop me a line if you want to discuss specifics - FirstNameLastName at gmail.com

Does anyone know about the Tidal Petroleum, Inc.?  Is drilling cost of $12 million reasonable for 9800 vertical and 4500 ft horizontal in Gonzales County?

Does anyone have any info on the Brothers Unit #4 (EOG)?  thanks

Sean, just a quick look doesn't show much production in the area along 1117.  There are three permitted wells a few miles off the FM 1117, but mostly wildcat exploration and shut-in and abandoned wells.  You may message me privately if you want to chat about this.  I worked in the area to the North East of this area for a while and have a few connections.  I may be able to help you.

Are there any Ahlhorn lease people in this group? If so has anyone received division papers yet?

Does anyone know about prospects for drilling down FM 1117 off Hwy80?  This is about 5 miles NW of Nixon area.  I really appreciate any comments you may have.  Wondering if anyone will ever drill this area.

Petrohawk was bought out by BHP Billiton Ltd. for 12.1 billion dollars last year.  The company is very active in multiple prospects, and I have never had any problem with them.  The main # is (832) 204-2700; that may help, I just don't know anyone working Dewitt.  Use this number and try to find the landman in charge of or working your area.

Does anyone know why eog is not drilling at county road 103 just south of Smiley 2 miles. My lease is about to expire in August after 3 years and just was wanting to hear what is going on.

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the Railroad Commission’s review of our Mineral Interest Pooling Act (MIPA) rules. I agree that the rules should be transparent, consistent, and protect the rights of landowners and mineral rights owners.

We will be holding a public hearing at the Railroad Commission on January 30, 2012 in Room 1-111.  I encourage you to testify at the hearing, if your schedule allows, and/or submit written testimony to the Commission. Testimony may be mailed to:

Railroad Commission of Texas Office of General Counsel

Tell the Texas Railroad Commission:

Don’t railroad Texans’ fracking property rights!

The Texas Railroad Commission is considering creating rules to implement the Mineral Interest Pooling Act (MIPA). MIPA is the statute that authorizes “forced pooling” in Texas – whereby contiguous mineral rights owners can be forced into “units” and have their minerals extracted… even against their will.

Despite the statute’s enactment over 30 years ago, administrative rules have never been adopted for MIPA.

The reason the TRC is considering the rules now? Among other things, they want to legitimize railroading (hah!) small landowners — who want no part of production/leasing — into not just drilling, but PAYING for the drilling they don’t want. If the well isn’t profitable, new rules could wind up losing landowners money.

MIPA is objectionable as written and currently enforced, even with no rules.  That the Commission is considering regulations that would further disadvantage landowners to the benefit of big oil and gas is obscene.

TAKE ACTION: Speak up for Texans’ property rights and send a letter to the Railroad Commission.  Tell them any new rules must better protect our property rights from the oil and gas industry.

Thank you!
