Coterra just emailed us back to tell us that 6 upcoming wells go through our interests.

But when I look at the acreage and well plats on OCD permitting website, for each of the APIs they listed, it looks like they don’t go through our interests.

I’m really hoping they do, but if they don’t I want to know now.

If our interests are in:

Eddy County

Township 25 South / Range 28 East.

Section 11: SENE (H)

Section 12: SWNW, NWSW (E, L)

And the acreage listed on the OCD permitting website is listed as:

640

11-25S-28E Units: C D E F K L M N

14-25S-28E Units: C D E F K L M N

And the well plat shown in the well files is (the green square is unit H, where our interests are):

 ![coterra well plat](https://www.mineralrightsforum.com/uploads/db5755/original/3X/2/a/2a71e4989ad481be3cadb8566bcbb83977af0ff4.jpeg)

… could this well really go through our interests?

Are the files/info on OCD website sometimes incomplete? (I’m really hoping so!)

I have emailed Coterra about this, but they took over a month to respond to my last email.

Many MANY thanks in advance!

@HGW, my guess is that the NM OCD and NM SLO sites are a little behind.

Well Database shows several new Coterra wells that would pass through Section 12,

but these don’t show up on the NM sites.

There are two sets of wells there. Coterra is onsite with a rig drilling the western set of wells. (Riverbend). Looks like Mewbourne has another set of permits on the east half called the HOSS 2/11 Fed Com wells. Five of them.

Coterra has another set of Riverbend wells in section 12, so that might be your other ones from them. . They are called Riverbend 12-13 Federal Com. The surface location is in sec 1 and the wells go south.

@M_Barnes, @HGW, my apologies to NMOCD and NMSLO, they were up to date.

I just couldn’t find them even though I knew they were there.

Hi @M_Barnes and @PeteR, thank you for your replies!

I’m still not really clear though, as I don’t know enough to understand the replies.

Does it indeed look like those new Coterra wells could go through our interests? (Township 25 South / Range 28 East, Section 11: SENE (H), Section 12: SWNW & NESW (E, L))

Thank you again!

Specifically I’m talking about these 6 wells, which the Coterra landman said went through our interests, but which when looking them up don’t seem to, to me:

 ![16 new wells~2](https://www.mineralrightsforum.com/uploads/db5755/original/3X/2/d/2de95381197675741d06c841f127f8d32a267259.jpeg)

By the way, they responded to my email for further confirmation, and told me they couldn’t provide any more clarification.

I do appreciate any insights!

@HGW, yes, the Riverbend wells go through

Section 12.

How strange… when I look them up on OCD permitting site ([OCD Permitting](https://wwwapps.emnrd.nm.gov/ocd/ocdpermitting/)), I only see them going through Section 11… I’m hoping I’m wrong and that they really do go through our interests. That would be great!

See for example API 30-015-49155.

Surface hole is Section 1, Bottom in Section 13.

640 acres allocated to Section 12 & Section 13.

Units A, B, G, H, I, J, O, P in both Section 12 & 13.

I still don’t think it goes through my interests sadly :,(. We are Section 11 - H unit, and Section 12 - E & L unit.

That’s why I asked my original question, as I could see that the wells went through the Section, but not our specific units.

Still hoping I’m wrong though, and maybe I missed something or there are things working behind the scenes that I don’t know about.

The Hoss wells go through the eastern half of 11 & 14.

@HGW, maybe if I paid attention to what you were saying I wouldn’t have

been so far off track. Sorry for the confusion.

I agree that the new Riverside 11-14 Units don’t appear to hit your interests,

at least from what information is available. The older Riverside 12-13 units

do appear to hit your Sec. 12 interests, as well as the Mewbourne Hoss units

referenced by @M_Barnes. Lots of activity in the area of eastern half of Sec. 12,

but as you noted, those aren’t in the area you were looking at.

Thanks M Barnes. I did finally figure that out, but I was really hoping that all of these new Coterra wells also went through our Sections, as the landman emailed us to say they did. But on further investigation it looks to me like they don’t. But I hope to be proven wrong somehow!

If they spaced at the whole 640, then they might. I did not check that part. Given that a different company has the eastern wells, just assumed they only have the west half spaced.
