I’m trying to find out if Mewbourne Oil is drilling or intent to drill in or around W 1/2 of the NW 1/4 of Section 21, Township 18 North, Range 21 in Ellis County Oklahoma. My mother received paperwork from them for a long time in horizontal well then I think it was stopped. We received all the court papers. Since then my mother has passed and we have not heard a word about this. Anyone know anything or how I could find out? Thank you in advance.

First thing is to get the correct paperwork (Probate, Proof of Death, etc.) filed in the County Clerk’s office so potential interested parties can get in touch with you. As for activity in that section, I don’t see any, nor has there ever, to my knowledge, been any activity in this section by Mewbourne.

I have already done all this. I have paperwork from Mewbourne from 2023. This is why I am trying to find out whatever happened with this. There was intent to drill horizontal. There is already a well close by drilled by someone else called the Ranger.

As Todd said, there hasn’t been any applications or orders filed in the 18N-21W by Mewbourne at all. The Ranger well you mentioned was drilled by Presidio in 2011 and has been inactive since 2014.

Wouldn’t be directly as the Nature Conservancy owns the surface rights. It would have to be a horizontal drill.

Mineral rights are superior to surface rights unless development rights are retained by the surface owners.

Blake, Hog and Valpoint have the most recent permits in 18N-22W just to the west.

We have mineral rights to about 80 acres in Ellis County, Section 21, Township 18N, Range 21. My mother sold the surface rights to the Nature Conservancy years ago. My sister and I have inherited the mineral rights and are looking to them. Over the years, we’ve had several companies lease for horizontal drilling. Was wondering on price per acre?

There has been leaasing to the east of you in Sec 22 in the last 24 months.
