Nabors rig #1205 is one of the 3 Eagleford rigs in SW Texas. 4 rigs are dedicated to the Eagleford, 3 in SW Texas and the other 1 in our area…mainly being Gonzales county…and the wells around here. Rig # 1205 comes from Atascosa County, the county EOG just recently acquired 30,000 acres in. It was on the Clydesdale unit drilling well #7H. and I heard left abruptly before starting well #8H as previously planned.
Soooooo…will it go back after these 2 Pecan farm wells are done ?? EOG needs 2 rigs here to drill 1 well in the additional 28 units (IF Pecan farm is proven, and does not count Fayette county tracts)…2 rigs would have it all done by the end of 2026…which I heard was the timeline…First I was told this was the plan, to bring one of the 3 rigs up here…as I mentioned in a post about 2-3 weeks ago…however then i was told it was nixed…..now all I hear is crickets.
The “rumor” out there now is that EOG had to pull this rig to Pecan Farm so they can look at the well logs (not time to even wait for frac results) ASAP because of the lease “assignment” negotiations…to see if they want them and how much is it worth to them.
Personally, I think they would have just waited to move rig #1209 to Francis after it left Parr and just sent it to Pecan farm…So, I am thinking this could be “Redhawks” assigned rig…and Atascosa county will be operating with just 2 rigs for a while since almost all of their acreage is HBP.
