Marcella, I went to your page and I don't see where you mentioned having section 35 T-149 R-95 or section 26 which is spaced with it, I hope you do have it because it's as good as two good wells. Even if this isn't your well, this is the area you are in and you could have very good results from you spacing also. I knew the area was good but this is even better than I expected. This area is far too good to lease for the few hundred dollars per acre and low royalty they were offering you. I do know that you are in the next spacing west 27 - 149 - 95 where the production is up to 98,113 barrels as of August for 7 months production, some of those months are only half a month or less and the last 3 months I see the production is level at more than 10,000 barrels a month that tells me that well is choked down. Even better Marcella is that the spacing is 1280 insted of 2560 so you probably aren't splitting the royalty with as many people. It's a darn good area. I thought it was a typo but maybe your well in 27 - 149 - 95 did produce 17,000 barrels in 3 days in April. Helis is drilling some very good wells in this area.

Hi Kennedy,I noticed the well just came off confidential today 10-3-2012 I do have township 149n 95w 33-34-35 Helis is boring from 27 or 26 I am not in those sections. Sounds good hopefully thats my well. What do you think? Thank You Marcella

I have added an article to the home page which talks about online resources. Any additions would be appreciated in the comment section.

Marcella, when you have widely spaced holdings it can be hard to keep track of. I did find where you told me you have 149 95 27 by looking at your home page at past posts of your discussions. I hope you were right then and are just missing it now. I did not find in past discussions where you said you have 149 95 section 35, but as I said above, I hope you are in that section and just failed to mention it because that is a great well! Any well that recovers half of the cost of drilling in about 2 months is a great well in a great area.

R.W.Kennedy,Like I said I sent my copy with my son,so I could not remember,I am in McKinzie 149 95 sections 25,26,33,34,35,The wells in sections 33,34,35, Section 26 boring to section 35,is mine but not section 27.Have'nt found the discussion,were I said I have section,27.I will look some more.I misread,because I don't have section 27.I am excited,that this well could covers half the cost,in two months,sounds like I will get money from these wells.There all off confidential list.Thank You,I always look forward to your answers, Marcella

Marcella, the well originating in section 27 149 95 and passing into section 34 149 95 makes it your well.

R W Kennedy,Thank you for answering my question.Helped,now I know whats happening.

R.W.Kennedy,Well I called Helis oil co.We don't own any interest in the mckinzie wells,The guy Mc Gillin,sold to my husband,Oversold these sections.Really disappointing.Thats the story,on the Mckinzie wells.Thought I would let you know.Thanks Marcella

Marcella, if your husband bought mineral interests there, then you have a potential lawsuit against the man you paid for the minerals. You had an expectation of possessing the minerals and to be paid according to their production, so the man who made the mistake owes you, not just a refund but for the amount you would have received from the minerals. I think you definitely need to talk to a lawyer about this.

Marcella,

Did you and your husband purchase title insurance when you bought these minerals? Typically when any property is purchased, title insurance is recommended. Even if you didn't purchase the surface acres, I would think there is still title insurance available. I sure hope this guy can be found and held accountable.

Did you have a lease on these acres? "Helis Oil"?

Seems unusual that a landsmen would have offered a lease, and paid the bonus amount after the (30,60,90) day term, in which they're suppose to be checking the ownership at courthouse; only to now find out they aren't your's. If you own a lot of net minerals, based on the area of your minerals, that company would have shelled out quite a chunk of money. I don't know if they're being careless, just to get leases signed and held or not, but something doesn't seem right.

R.W.Kennedy,Thanks for your reply,The more I think about this, the more I feel,there's somthing wrong.I will talk to my lawyer,I am questioning,why was'nt I told,before,the wells were prducing.Its been three years ,since Marathon,paid to lease McKinzie county,Looks like Helis is drilling, every section,that I am in .Does not add up. Could I be wrong,in thinking thats theres more to this? Thanks Marcella

Marcella, I didn't know it was 60 years ago until you told me. There may be nothing that can be done but I would investigate just to be sure. I have received checks that I shouldn't be sent which I am returning tomorrow and an oil company is telling me they can't find my interest in a well that my family has held the mineral rights for about 90 years. They sometimes make mistakes and always wish you would just go away.

18

R.W.Kennedy,Was 60 years ago,So Marathon still leased three years ago,How can they lease,they had the same information then. So who owns these mineral rights,if I don't? Thanks for getting back to me Marcella .

Marcella, they often make mistakes in who they lease. Sometimes they lease people that they are unsure of just to be safe. Due to the productive nature and value of acres under those wells, I would not take their word on it. They make mistakes, right now they have sent me a check that they shouldn't have and in another case, deny I own in a well where the minerals have been in my family for probably 90 years. I'll get it staraightened out eventually but it takes effort.

R.W.Kennedy,I checked on a well in Dunn cty. XTO Energy Inc.Has a well # 18797 sec.36 with horizontial leg running into section 26 in my section 148n96w getting 1734 bopd.Can I exspect anything out of that well?. I did talk to my lawyer,on letting Marathon know my lease has exspired,He said dont worry about it.On afadavit,said to have you call him.Which I felt diferently about lt.I am still waiting for Word from Helis oil,sending me info . Thanks Marcella
