Orange is fine~it’s the smile I miss! lol
A short read! Sounds like it’s coming down in your country, Hutch.
Just a little news. Just got the Campbell started flowing back so don’t know anything yet.
A friend told us today that he had talked to a Newfield man that said the Tina was the best well they had gotten yet! Wow, that would have to be a Lalapaloozer to beat the Casados so I guess we’ll see. Is that the first well that they have that goes through two complete sections? I know the Campbell will be just as long or longer but didn’t know if the Tina is the longest lateral so far.
Newfield man told someone that they were laying down pipe today on some well but P. didn’t hear which one so guess they finished drilling it. Didn’t know if they were talking about one of the first Branch wells or another. There’s supposed to be 6 rigs for Newfield in that area down there and we know 5 of them are on the Branches. I don’t know where the 6th one is unless it’s one on the north side of Rush Creek. I know one of those is Continental. Can anybody shed any light on that?
Don..I heard that Continental got a GIANT of a well up somewhere close to your royalty. Any truth to that?
Linda, We got room for a little more, already got the Seaway pipeline about 1/4 mile from my house. It seems weird that oil from Cushing, Oklahoma is flowing under my old backyard.
O.K. I’ll try to find one of those rare pictures where I was smiling!
Linda - Can you give me the Section/Township/Range and test on the Casados? I guess there is no test on the Tina published yet but could you give me Section/Township/Range?
Don, I don’t really think the report has come out yet on the Casados in Stephens County yet. Just word of mouth from a Newfield guy it came in at 800 barrels of oil per day and 10 million cubic feet of gas but has since been choked back to about half that. I believe they perforated in about a third of Section 21 Township 2 North, Range 4 West and all of Section 28 Township 2 North, Range 4 West for the Casados.
On the Tina the pad was in Section 2 Township 2 North, Range 4 West but I don’t think they perforated in 2 but went clear through to the north into Garvin County Section 35 and 26 Township 3 North, Range 4 West and perforated all of them. I had heard it was really a good well and was “just getting better and better” the man said but I never heard any numbers.
Quoting the Daily Oklahoman today:
“COMPANY COMPLETES RECORD WELLS”
“Newfield Exploration Co. is actively drilling on its 125,000 net acre position in Oklahoma’s Cana Woodford Shale play, the Texas-based company said this week. Newfield, which is operating six rigs in the play has completed 30 wells to date. It recently completed three consecutive record wells. The most recent included an 8,000-foot lateral. Newfield said well performance in the play continues to meet or exceed expectations.”
Yep, it was a really good one, for sure for its length! I believe that was one of the wells mentioned in their report Wednesday morning, wasn’t it?
Tom, Amended application for Multi-unit Horizontal Well 1H-7X
http://imaging.occeweb.com/AP/CaseFiles/0304EB23.pdf
I don’t think you have anything to worry about, it’s allocated 50/50
Tom. It will be very interesting to me to see how your well comes out as my mother-in-law owns a tiny interest in Section 20 Township 2 North, Range 3 West.
That’s really interesting, another good thing about the multi unit wells is that you aren’t damaging a lot of land with a lot of unnecessary pads. I’m excited for y’all down in the scoop. It’s really amazing we have so much oil and gas in our land here in America. Will it ever be enough though?
Thanks for the info. Yes I heard that about three weeks ago as the big well being in 7N-6W where my interests is. My guess it is the Wilkerson in Section 20. Could be the Walters in Section 22 or the Igo in Section 27. The Healy in Section 7 tested 487 bod and 827,000 gas. That is a pretty good well.
I have a map built for the play in the SCOOP and have quite a bit of info on it. Not that far up to date on the part towards Gravin County. I have got a contour representation in 7N-6W based on where the wells hit the Woodford and it makes sense with my understanding of the way the rocks are laid down in the Anadarko Basin.
On the west side of the Township 7N-6W there are five units now completed and they are basically North-South in the Township. It is interesting as to the variation of the tests in these four wells. They are from north to south:
Healy Section 7 487 bod 827,000 gas
Ballard Section 17 212 bod 869,000 gas
Wilkerson Section 20 Is this the big well???
Dana Section 29 118 bod 2,500,000 gas My interest Section 30
Nunn Section 32 182 bod 1,950,000 gas
This is a good representation to mineral owners in the SCOOP that there can be good wells and not so good wells within a mile of one another. Mineral owners must also remember that for several operators in the area establishing the Held by Production is a near term goal to hold as many leases as they can as quickly as they can.
Once the various operators get their leasehold Held By Production and this production on any given well has the ability to produce for at least 10 years they will go into a multi well per unit drilling mode, i.e., six wells per unit. Operators with a smaller leasehold, say Newfield, may enter into the multi well per unit quicker.
It is going to be frustrating to some mineral owners with one producing well seeing the unit next door to them get six wells drilled in a short period of time. There are many facets about the decision to drill multiple wells in a unit. Geology, financial, price of oil and gas, rig availability and other considerations.
The various operators have 100% of the rights to drill the extra wells in a unit as they see fit. Nothing a mineral owner can do will change that. A mineral owner with production should make sure all their estate is in order because these wells will be here for a very long time.
Ok Guys…Is the Casados or the Tina an 8,000 ft. lateral?
Don,
Your last four paragraphs are exactly what is happening to me over in Carter County, just south of the Ardmore airport. XTO is drilling multiple wells just about all around my one producing well. I have an empty pad that has been there since sometime in October, with no activity.
I guess this is a lesson in acquiring patience. My increased Density Order expires in June.
I figure when we hear Continental’s conference call next week we’ll get the skinny on their big wells this last quarter! We’ll be all ears! So, we’ll know who to hit up to buy the chicken wings for the party!!! lol
Linda, how was the production shared in Section 21 when only 1/3 was fracked? I have the same proposal in Section 6, Township 2N, Range 3W. 18 and 6 will be before the commission for comingling. Section 6 will be on the tail end and I do not want a partial percentage. There would be a class action if the unfracked portion is not released at the end of the primary term.
Hopefully the well will be completed the proposed lateral distance.
Tom
OOPS, I meant Section 18 & Section 7
Tom, it is no different than drilling a well on the west side of the section and it holding the east side of the section after the primary term.
The Casados and Branch 2-6 were planned as uneven splits going in.
