Has anybody had a new vertical well or is that a thing of the past?

They’re still a thing! According to current rig counts, there are 25 vertical wells being drilled just this week in the country [https://rigcount.bakerhughes.com/na-rig-count](https://rigcount.bakerhughes.com/na-rig-count)

Hi Tracy, thank you. I noticed some permits near our section in Howard County wasn’t sure how old they were.

I’m mostly seeing vertical well permits for salt water disposal wells in Howard County, but I do see two wells in the QUINN lease marked as oil and gas vertical wells that were permitted last year.

I understand. Tracy, I chatted with you early last year about Brutus Buckeye permits. According to MineraliQ, 6 of those have completed. I assume division orders are coming soon; we are excited. Thanks to your help I was able to learn more about oil/gas.
