There have been a lot of discussions regarding signing bonuses, etc., but I haven’t seen any discussions regarding drilling and royalty payments. Can anyone in Reeves County, Texas tell me if “they” have drilled on your property, and if so, how much the well is producing?
Trying not to get my hopes up, but still…hoping! 
We were told by a CWE landman that they would probably start drilling by December (signed lease 2 weeks ago). He also said that 9 of the 11 holes have hit - not a bad average. We too would like to know if anyone has seen any production and if so, what.
What section are you in?
Section 219

Gas well in Block 58 low producing. This was 5 years ago and was a vertical drill. Looking forward to new lease on our sections.
Use the Railroad Commission website to find producing wells and check their output.
Laura;
I’m VERY new to this…so I don’t know where to look on the Railroad Commission website. Could you provide more info for me, please?

But to be honest - I haven’t found anything meaningful - the Clayton Williams Wolfbone formation play is too new for any of us to really get a feel for what might happen.
My landman stated that the odds are greater than 50% and that you can expect about half of what your bonus payout is in commissions… let all keep our fingers crossed. Best of luck to you.

CWE… that’s Clayton Williams Energy? We received a phone call regarding our mineral rights in Reeves County, Texas, from them as well. They said they wanted to “extend” our lease that is due to expire next week that we had with Petro Hunt. Did you decide to sign a lease with them? We are trying to decide what to do!
Thanks,

Clayton Williams Energy has been good to us - we had a good offering and they paid quickly. Yes - we did sign. They seem to be upfront and ethical / pretty much got top dollar for our lease.
Thanks Kreg ~ Appreciate your feedback!

Block C8 - Section 25. There is an oil well permit that was opened July 15th - which is weird that they could get that approval prior to me signing my lease - but I am not complaining. The fact that the well is marked on the map shows serious intent to drill - however there seems to be a zillion blue rings in that area (blue rings on the Texas RR site mean - permit applied), there are very few green dots (producing wells) in that area - of course - the Wolfbone oil play is so new that no one really knows what to expect. I would say with $1000 per acre bonus interests and 3.5 million dollar rig costs per hole - you would think there is a high probability of hitting something.
Let’s all hope it happens soon.. if the stock markets tank and oil drops below $70/Barrel - they will cease all drilling until the market can once again support $70+/BBL … it’s a real nail biter ain’t it?
Yeah… never ever thought I’d be hoping oil prices stay UP! I must have read something wrong on the Texas Railroad Commission site… I thought blue ring meant dry hole. Glad I’m wrong!!
This land has been in my Dad’s family for approximately 150 years. About 3 years ago, a company contacted my Mom wanting to do a “geological survey,” which they would sell to oil companies upon request. She agreed, they did the survey (we weren’t allowed any information regarding the survey) and since then we’ve been offered big bucks by oil companies to sell them our mineral rights. Not gonna happen big boys!
