Parts of the Oklahoman paper reports:
Intent to Drill:
Garvin: Continental Resources, Inc. Ball No 1-19H Well …of 19, 3N, 4W TD 19,614
McClain: Charter Oak Production Co. LLC, Marcum No. 1-23 well…of 23 7N, 3W TD 8540
I’m sure this has already come out other places but thought some may have missed it.
Also told of a well in Garvin County that came in 50 bbls. per day and was in 35 1N, 3W and TD 9,153
Had several others but not in the Scoop.
The Garvin County well that I listed last was drilled by Ardmore Production and Exploration.

Found this on the Continental website. Guess I missed the conference. Would like to have heard it live.
Some of you might find the following site interesting especially if you don’t live near where your mineral rights are. http://gis.deq.ok.gov/flexviewer/
You can open the link and then zoom into the area you are interested in then check the box next the Tier II Hazardous Substances. Each of the icons that appear on the map represents a facility that stores hazardous substances (such as crude oil). If you click on the icon it will give you a facility name (in the case of a production site it will give you the name of the operator and the name of the well).
Facilities that store chemicals are required under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) to submit an Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form to the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), and the local fire department annually.
In the area we are interested in most of the icons represent a producing well. By the way you can also click next to Section Township Range on the layer list and help you find your site.
Gary, that is a really nice tool, thanks for sharing it! I was surprised when I looked at an area on our property that there are quite a few wells and tank batteries that do not appear. Is this a lack of reporting or do not all wells/tank batteries require registration?
I think they are all required to report, but some of the smaller companies fail to report. Most of the major companies however do a very good job reporting.

Received this in an email today. Even though it was meant to inform people to the pros and cons of CR stock I found it interesting that they mention the Woodford Shale comparable to the Bakken. I also found a lot of it to be confusing but then, I’m easily confused! lol Read what you want and throw out the rest with the garbage.
Went for a drive today down south of Lindsay. Nearly makes me sick to my stomach how much trash has been thrown out alongside the roads and the paved roads that have been turned to dirt and mud holes! That being said, I’ll try to report what I saw.
Flare still burning on the Tina (Section 2, Township 2N, Range 4W), people still working on the three compressor stations down that way.
The new Branch (Section 21, Township 2N, Range 4W) wells have three down and two still standing. The first Branch well still had the gate locked and no action going on.
The “Whatley” (Section 20, Township 2N, Range 4W) had the gate open but I didn’t go down the road as it has the “keep out” signs still up. Probably down there hauling off all the oil so Lea and Lloyd along with Bob Berry and some fortunate others will have a BIG check for that first one!
No new locations around Section 20 there that I could see that might be for the “Claudine” going from Section 20 through 29 and 32, Township 2N, Range 4W.
Flare still burning on the Boles. All trailer houses gone and there were three long tank trucks parked beside the tanks. It probably takes three at a time to haul off all the oil that jewel is making!
They have rigged up Cactus rig #160 on the west side of the Garvin/County line road (east of the Boles well). I’m thinking that’s Section 24, Township 2N, Range 4W. Anyone know for sure?
Looked like frack tanks and light plants around on the “Honeycutt” in Section 22, Township 2N, Range 4W but I couldn’t see up over the hill from the road to really tell what was going on. I figured they already had that one fracked by now so I don’t know for sure.
Looked like the permanent wellhead (the Christmas Tree) was on the Vanarkel (Section 15, Township 2N, Range 4W).
Marathon rig #535 sign was up on Highway 76 north of the Garvin/Stephens County line road. I couldn’t see a rig so I don’t know how far west down the road off of Highway 76 it was. I’m going to guess it’s the road that divides Section 27 and 34, Township 3N, Range 4W and like I said I don’t know how far west it was.
To be continued:
I didn’t want to spend the time to type all this info on one post only to hit the wrong key and erase it all. So here’s some more skinny on the work down south. I was fortunate to get back in one piece with trucks, trailers full of equipment and pipe, etc. whizzing by me! They were making hay while the sun was shining and I just tried to stay out of their way.
Continuing on: As I turned down my friend Nancy’s road which is, I believe, two section lines north into Garvin County which puts me turning west off of Highway 76 between Sections 22 and 27, Township 3N, Range 4W (I hope) I see a new location being built and a gate being installed on Section 22 on my north.
Then I see 4 tanks set on the Dickinson 1-21H. Then traveling on west I see Cactus Rig #134 drilling away. Going on west I see the “Lang” well with 4 tanks (3 oil and 1 water) set and they are cleaning up around the location. There were four frack tanks lined up along the fence but I don’t believe they have started fracing yet and are just getting ready for that stage. After passing there on my left (south) there is a finished well with the tanks and everything painted a shining silver (I’m guessing Continental).
I believe less than a quarter of a mile sits another rig on the right (north). This is right across the road from the Denson place.
Sorry that’s as far as I got today and it got too rough for me out there in the old oil field. I’m not near as tough as I look! lol I’ll have to wait until P. goes with me sometime to go checking on the ones like the Kelly on Section 11, Township 2N, Range 4W, Campbell on Section 12, Township 2N, Range 4W going north through 1 and Garvin County 36, the Floyd (on who knows what section).
Oh, yeah, I did see the “JoAnn” rig drilling away. Where is that one again? Is it Section 18, Township 2N, Range 4W? I didn’t drive any further west than the Pearl Assembly of God so I don’t know if they have set a rig on the location right by the road in Section 18 which I think some of you said would go across Section 19, right? Is that going to be the McElroy???
Hope this is of interest to someone. It was to me! Good day!!!
Hutch… There were about four short trailers with some kind of equipment on them setting on the south edge of the Poteet location but I’m going to guess they were only water pumps. Probably taking some of the precious water from your lake! Ouch!!
Good report as always, thanks Linda!
Wow, thanks Linda. Let me know if you see any activity around 7, 3N, 4W. Hoping to get through the hearings soon and get some action going!
Good Golly Gary… we just thought we were busy down this way! There has always been a lot of oilfield around Calumet but I didn’t know it had picked up like that. Preston used to go out there and work in a compressor station repairing compressors for Mustang Petroleum Corp. when we lived in Edmond (back in about 1974). I think that was where he lost some of his hearing as they didn’t know to wear hearing protection then. Or if they did they didn’t practice it. Now he can speak from experience when he teaches oilfield safety.
Linda… Thanks for the update.
Yes, the McElroy is to drill from the edge of 18 South all the way through 19, and Joann is to drill from the edge of 18 North through Section 7 (Newfield).
L & L, Continental controls Section 7, I believe production will be from Section 18. The permit is very confusing, in one place it shows the surface location in Section 7 going South. In another part it says surface in Section 19 going north. Here is a diagram from the spacing order: http://imaging.occeweb.com/AP/CaseFiles/occ5006835.pdf
I really forgot about the pad for the McElroy being there beside the highway. I wish I had gone a little further west and looked to see if they had a rig on it. I only went as far west as the road where the Whatley is. Lloyd and Lea… do you guys have minerals in 18 or 19?
Hutch… what’s going on in the diagram? Did Section 19 steal your Poteet well?
Linda, I saw it Tuesday and it looked like they were setting up the small rig to place the conductor pipe. The material was laying on the ground.
It was on the NE corner of FR2994 and 29 if that was the correct location.
29?
