Curious about activity in Dewey Co

We own mineral rights in Sections 27 and 22 of Township 17N; Range 19W; in Dewey County. We expect Harding & Shelton to drill in 27 soon, if not already. Anyone see activity there? (We live in Texas.)

I checked Corporation Com web site for a permit in both sections. Nothing yet. I have been maping new well when I see intent to drill and have not marked any since I started checking. 16 north has lot of activity now. When does your lease expire. Larry

David I checked this Am and do not see any new permits yet in those sections. larry

I'm not sure if you are still looking for information in this area or not, but there was a well spud on 2/16/12 in 31-17N-19W and Corporation Commission ordered the operator to pay $1,200 for 3/16th, $1,000 for 1/5th and $400 for 1/4th for the leases. If you would like any more information on the area let me know.

I hold interests in Sections 33+34 of 17n-16w; any indication of activity, and if so, by what companies and under what terms?

MUCH THANKS. Trying to figure out what's fair.

Ron: I hold interests in Sections 33+34 of 17n-16w and am novice when it comes to this type of business, with no reference points as to how to establish what's a fair and reasonable offer etc. That said, I'm learning quickly.

Question: You obviously have some URL/links/sites that you go to for information and data gathering to assess activity, permits etc. Can you post those and share with the group? Also, any helpful hints.

Much appreciated.

Production info & links to follow

This is test results on completion reports in sections in 17N-16W I found.

36-42 B.O.D.& 3110 MCF MCF= thousand cubic feet so this would be over 3 million c.f.

35-57 " & 5338 "

23-51 " & 3155 "

12-48 " & 3755 "

12-16 " & 1415 " there are two wells in section 12

9-38 " & 2850

On section 7- 16N-16W I omitted $750 for 1/5th on last reply.

15-16n-16w 163 B.O.D. 3216 MCF a day, early well, best one I found. The following are drilling or have been drilled but have filed no completion reports:

36-17N-16W started 12/13/11 second well this section

13-17N-16W started 7/26/11

9-17N-16W started 10/18/11

9-17N-16W started 1/08/12 second well this section

7-17N-16W started 9/22/11

4-17N-16W started 10/10/11

Ron:

Thank you for the above info re. my sections 33+34 of 17n-16w. Unfortunately, this is too new to me to know if i'm reading it correctly. Given my section locations, appears they're drilling around me (section 36, for example) but not on my sections, is that correct? I'm being offered $750/acre and 3/16's and 3 yr term: Based on what you see/know, is this fair/reasonable? Would be greatly appreciated if you could give me a call to discuss; i'll friend you momentarily.

Don I just now saw your reply about the friends and call. I don't know why I didn't get email from group or something. I'll friend you with my # if you still need info call.

Ron

David I guess I sent you my # instead of Don. Sorry about that.
