Exploration drops off suddenly

Why does the exploration stop so abruptly in SE Henderson County, Texas. I own mineralrights at the red dot/X.

That large producing area is Fairway Field - a large reef complex with long time production. Conventional reservoir with hard boundaries as to productivity.

I am betting that there may be some dry holes drilled in the area of your minerals trying to extend this production.

PS comment - map[ from ENVERUS showing this SE Henderson County area. Note the dry hole symbols in the area of your minerals.

A couple of scattered producers in that area too (gas symbols) - very marginal producers.

Thanks a WHOLE LOT for the reply and the helpful information. To sound even more ignorant, can you id the symbols? I dont know what is what.

I have a bigger interest in Roger Mills Co Oklahoma id like to pick your brain on if i could.

Once again, thanks alot!

Code for well spots

Purple circles with the lines @ Noon, 3, 6 & 9 are dry holes

Red symbols are gas wells

Green symbols are oil wells / green symbols with diagonal line thru them are abandoned oil wells

Open browning circles with line thru them are permitted locations that were never drilled

Open blue circles are OLD wells with no info available

Note that one needs to dig into the details for each well spot as to depth and well results.

Re - Roger Mills Co

I can look up some things on this area if you want to send me some details on location

Section 11, Township 11N, Range 25W

Roger Mills County, OK

Thanks - top map is centered on Twp 11N-R 25W

Map shows green (oil prone) and gas wells with blue dots on wells that are still active.

No blue dots = wells are abandoned / not producing anymore

Your section 11 shows no wells in it

Note the “sticks” - NS oriented wells (horizontal wellbores) just to SW of Section 11. Plus a few to the east of your area.

These are Horizontal wells being drilled by Diversified Energy and Mach Energy - Target zone appears to be the Missourian Granite Wash section (a Sandstone reservoirs). These wells are a mix of gas and oil in varying quantities.

Unless there is a very major geologic difference in the subsurface, this trend for the Hz wells looks like it should continue thru your section 11 area.
