Looks like they are set up for the frac job. The frac crane is positioned above the wellhead, but it didn’t appear to have the usual “frac gear” attached to it. As I continued to drive west past the pad on FM227, I was able to see a temporary water line running west through pasture in the direction of the Trinity River.
Finally, there was a Liberty Energy Services “Falcon Crew” sign at the access road entrance. Duck.ai had this regarding the Falcon Crew:
“The Falcon Crew specifically refers to a specialized team within Liberty, recognized for their expertise in field operations, particularly in hydraulic fracturing."
The Yancy well is currently being frac’d spoke with the liberty crew over the weekend at Kim’s in Elkhart.. Very experienced crew, shouldn’t take em very long!
And that very well maybe true, but a hole in the casing isn’t that hard of a fix, granted every situation is different, but companies don’t drop all their rigs for that… My guess is they know what they have and are waiting on infrastructure. We don’t have enough take away capacity in the region!
No sir, it’s still a mystery hole that too many NDAs have been signed against. Maybe by April we will know more at that time unless someone is an insider willing to share. Stay tuned as they say.
Does anyone know if there is anymore activity in this area.

An offer was made to me but now they do not seem interested in leasing.
Within the last two years, Expand (leasing via their own name and Drake Exploration) has leased about 85 acres in the A-550 Survey and 385 acres in the A-865 (AM Quarles).
Expand has paused all of their leasing activity for now. During 2026, they plan to (1) complete the Yancey well, (2) drill and complete (if test results are good) the Lavinski 1 well that they just permitted in Anderson County, and (3) drill one more test well at an unknown location. I believe Expand is involved in the 210 square mile 3D seismic study that is outlined here:
$500 and 1/5 cost free. 3+2 recent. Ask the thickness of the formation to be drilled. Unofficially the formation of Yancey was 300 feet thick. Haven’t seen seismic data so correct me if I am wrong.
According to the Texas RRC info the Bossier formation is 1,361 ft thick & the Haynesville is 911 ft. in the Bob Yancy Well. Expand, for all practical purposes, “AT THIS TIME”, has NO competition in this area YET! Until it is revealed the production of the Yancy there probably won’t be any. But if it is equal to or near the production of the Western Haynesville wells in Leon County things will increase in price and quality pretty fast before the end of the year.
