Comment @ any of these wells and “break even”.
It is still way to early to “see” that actual production decline that will be taking place with theses wells - once that profile is determined (minimum 12 months / could be 24 months), EOG / Red Hawk will be better able to project undiscounted payout - and more importantly - discounted payout and rate of return.
And determine just how economic this play is in in the various sub-areas of this trend
As far as EOG going west of Bullard, I heard this was definitely a possibility…however they will not be able to do their 4 unit on 1 pad based on limited ground available in the M.Mitchell survey. Fairey unit is a partial blocker as well as the Meadow unit. They might be able to do 2 units stacked..which would be the plan based on maps I’ve seen that were updated …but have not heard if they acquired all tracts that were needed lately..I think this is by the Reservoir on CR 379…EOG was reeling after the Finn units results just south of Shiner but in this Upper EF “range” that treks to the NE.
Also they are still looking to go south of Francis pad and do up to another 4 units to test.
MR-ML Getting a little action at pecan pad last couple of days but this evening been seeing less water trucks. Guess backflow still going on because flame is up and down. Still don’t know if they still got both well back flowing together.
Great photo - good flare. Color indicates some higher BTU gas.
And unless the mineral owners have a “pay for flaring” clause in their lease agreements, money going up in smoke.
To all, hearsay is that the “pad” off of FM340 across from the “old Witting road” and along CR190 is not actually a drill site but rather a planned gas processing plant. It appears to be a fast tracked project as they have stadium lighting setup and have been working late into the evenings/nights. I’ve seen at least 7 super scrapers and probably as many dozers moving them “Witting” mountains.
Gas Processing plant makes sense, since this is 1/4-1/2 mile east of the planned pad site on the maps. The pad site should be on the 329 acre Kubena tract or across Cr 190 from it…was up in the air about a year ago.
This plant on the 78 acre Konarik place is leased by EOG, but nothing as far as change in ownership of the land or surface lease to another company. I would think that the land would have been purchased for this type of operation.
There was an East Texas Pipeline company a little north that was running through the new Kenobi unit, but a release was executed on 12/24, releasing the company and sending the rights back to us owners….in preparation for EOG to run their pipeline…does not look like this is associated with this new plant.
Well, to fuel further any gossip (hearsay) I may have ignited, The company you mention is rumored to have outright purchased this, or at least a portion, of the said tract. This company has been great at keeping their gameplay discreet
Thanks for the info. We shall see what transpires.
Does anyone know if they started Flow Back on the 3 new wells that EOG drilled on the Francis pad ? I’m supposed to be pooled into 1 or 3 of those wells. Any updates will be appreciated!
EOG’s Gas Processing plant on FM340/CR190 almost doubled in size since I was last there. Made some calls and found out today that it is EOG….and that they are also putting a water Reservoir on this location as well to serve the properties south of Blackshear. The CR 379 reservoir of course is still there but more water is needed to frack all the planned wells in this area, from Lavaca river south.
No answer if they are going to use this site to put the pad between Maddox+3 and Kenobi+3 units….still seems like that pad would be about 1/2 mile more west of this location….another pad site is slated for the curve at FM 340 just north of this plant, so they might do that one next ??
As far as anything going on north of Blackshear/Parr…crickets…..
There were finishing rolling up the large water line from the Pecan pad…they were on FM 532 today. Was at Pecan pad for about 20 minutes and had 1 water truck.
Finally getting gravel to the CR195/Cr194 pad..they took 10 days off for the holidays.
MR-ML YES water trucks slowing down. 12/30 70 loads 12/31 60 loads
1/1 1/2 1/3 Appr 50 loads a day
1/4 43 loads
This evening 1/5 Tanker showed up to Pecan Pad with placards 1275 not the water type tanker he was loading by the big round tanks. Must be oil. If they getting gas on flow back do you think some oil coming with that water.
“1275” placard on tanker truck = flammable liquids.
Different tanker style for these types of liquids
“Normal” post frac flowback will initially be mostly (if not all) water - frac fluid. Over time, O&G breaks through and becomes part of the three phase flow stream (oil, gas and water). The combined flow is run through a separator system that breaks out the water, gas and oil / condensate.
Expect some significant water rates for some time - mix of frac fluid and actual formation water.
Liquid hydrocarbon here is probably a “condensate with higher API gravity.
Gas goes to gathering line (once it is in place) with “x” Btu factor. Processing plant can then break out NGL’s or the gas gatherer will pay based on Btu content of the gas stream.
Watch for tanker trucks with DOT placard “1267”, and hope they come frequent, that’s crude or condensate haulers. Although these liquids (crude or condensates) can be a little different based on the API scale, they both bring a lot more value to these hz wells versus a straight dry gas output.
FYI–The deed of the Konarik property was signed and recorded on 12/23/25. EOG purchased all 75 acres for the Gas Production Facility, and the Konarik’s kept their minerals.
When I went by there a day or so ago, you see they are using ALL of the property, however I don’t see where the reservoir is going…maybe it will be a tank that is low to the ground…they are usually built up.
Thanks just saw a real dark gray trailer go by but didn’t catch if it had placards not the white are sliver water tankers. We’ll try and keep an eye open. At least the amount of water trucks are slowing down.
Pecan Pad looking for some good information. All the equipment from well heads is removed from the top. Pressure tanks and a bunch of stuff disconnected. This evening 3 18 wheelers loaded with looks like 27/8 tubing and wire line unit here and a nother Christmas tree just arrived.
The steamers are turned off still small flame burning. My mine says pump jack need to get oil out.
Pecan pad more loads of equipment showing up. What is BC SERVICES.
If this is 2.875” tubing, the plan here is to run this into the wellbore to increase downhole annular velocity so as to better unload the well and let it flow on its own (instead of trying to flow the up up the 5.5” prodcution casing).
Common practice for wells that don’t have the pressure to effectively unload fluids to the surface.
In my opinion, indicative of a less-than-ideal pressure situation downhole
