Have you heard any updates on the discussions between EOG and KEW to develop units north of Pecan?
Heard there was a âdealâ, but there are a lot of tracts that are only partially leased by KEWâŚmeaning a tract they leased does not have all mineral owners leased..so will take time to do soâŚplus they are not using all KEW leasesâŚonly ones within a planned unit.
Also the talk is not putting a unit above Monster rock, but shifting the unit 1 to the west, so one above Reimers and one to the west of that and then going up. This would be a 4 unit one pad situation, but not in line with the othersâŚ.again this is under discussionâŚdepending on results, but they had an extremely thinning of the upper EF in Monster as they went east.
Have to stay tuned for resultsâŚâŚand the economics will be a big part of the decisions going forward in this neck of the woodsâŚgoing into Fayette countyâŚ
As is the case in plays like this, it is all about the rocks!
Thanks, interesting info. I am going to be keeping my eye on this seeing is this certainly impacts my familyâs acreage!
When you say âaboveâ Monster Rock are you referencing to the North of Monster Rock? What about toward the south of Monster Rock? Is that one still planned in line with Monster?
Does anyone have any information on the pad for Kainer B unit? Seems like itâs pretty deeply on private property. Permit is still on hold
Crud. This appears to be a reply to an unrelated thread - unintended.
Yes, a pad/unit north of Monster is in questionâŚactually a pad/unit anywhere north of Pecan pad âwasâ in question because EOG did not have all the leases.
The initial unit maps from early 2024 are the ones being permitted almost exactly as planned. However, they were all still on hold until testing. After Francis well EOG âprovedâ up their acreage north to the Lavaca river. Blackshear results âgreen litâ the 2 units under it, and the 4 units above it. (future CR240/FM 957 pad)
Pecan pad looked promisingâŚ..and at this time there are still plans to do the south 2 units from Pecan Farm pad, and another 4 units below that (future CR229/CR263 pad).
Although some talk of westerly movement, mainly on any units above/north of Pecan farm.
There was talk of moving some of the units west just a smidge above Blackshear, but that has not been mentioned lately. If you look at how the units are designed, the 4 wells on one pad for 4 units goes from Francis pad toward the north,and plans are to make a pad at EVERY 4 corner mark eventually to drill out the units having 4-6 wells each unit. So every pad would have 8-12 wells on it when done.
So when a pad site for the 4 units are permitted, where they meet again north and south 4 corners with the next 2 units, the pad site is already planned and approved by surface ownerâŚeven though this would not be done/drilled/permitted until 2027 or later, as they try to hold all leases with one well before option payments dueâŚ.
I was given a map by Redhawk when I signed my lease in July â24. Admittedly itâs a one pager showing only âmyâ unit but you can see from the margins that apparently they laid out a unit grid over the entire area regardless of whoâs leased to who. In fact if you get out the magnifying glass youâll see that each tract is already numbered within each unit (I have a number).
Also for âmyâ unit at least, the directional orientation (slope/slant?) looks to be exactly that of the pecan pad. This doesnât appear to be true for Blackshear/Parr though. Theyâre too E-W.
So to your point, it would probably save a large amount of staff work if they just shifted any units above the Pecan Farm âupâ one unit to the NW on their grid if they decide to do that.
As an aside, Iâve started a bad weather project to see whoâs leased to who and have put those on a color coded CAD map. Iâm far from finished but EGAD! What a patchwork of leases between Redhawk/KEW/Acaval. Hoping that they can get it all worked out.
