The ENVERUS (subscription) site shows Nabors #1209 drilling on the EOG Rawlins 1H.
Spud Jan 16th
Rock Manā the Rawlins and Bruhn units show on the RRC site as not yet approvedā¦mainly because of an 140+ acre tract 1/2 unleased. Paperwork going to her that shows she must respond by 2/20. Can EOG still be drilling this well ?
JrileyR1ā did your source say why they were not drilling those 2 units? and is it a ādelayā or a total forget about it situation ? thanks
I am no expert on Tx RRC proceedings, but it is clear that this rig is on this well as per industry reports.
It is possible that the proper approvals have been executed but that they have not yet āhitā the Tx RRC site for public viewing
New pad on cr 195 is a permitted gas well by petrovybe. 77 acre tract. 9500 vertical gu.
Bruh and Rawlins wells from eog are listed as a SWR hold from 14 January
Itās not a delay for Kenobi and Alfaro, they are not doing now. They could always restart if other 2 do well.
And no, they did not say why only drilling two of four. Itās an opinion of someone close that could be some wells north of Kenobi have not done well.
I would have thought that EOG actually saw something ābadā south of Kenobi on the eastern unitsā¦.like the Chapman or Maddox units. Even the eastern units on the Francis pad might have had issues.
To the north, the Monster rock unit is approx. 5 miles , and yes, this one is trouble. Parr unit about 2 miles north is ok, has about a 24 month breakeven at todayās pricingā¦.and they are only drilling 1 well to āholdā their investment to drill out as the economics make sense.
I also have info for you on the situation you are in with the poolingā¦I have had some of the same thing with EOG, a little differentā¦.Iāll send the info laterā¦

I had heard the same thing that they are only drilling 2 out of 4 unitsā¦I did not ask for names of the units because I already knew that both Rawlins and Bruhn units have not been approved because of a refusal to lease on the Nolen tract over 140 acresā¦.
But if you are sure you heard Alfaro and Kenobi are the ones being placed aside I believe it. I am in some of those units as far as a mineral owner as well as other EOG units and āproposedā units. In fact I have minerals on a proposed pad site, and surface/mineral owner of another. I also have relatives that have this same situation.
I know you mentioned issue with pooling with EOG. Here is an example of what happened on the Blackshear unit, relative of mine. This was a test well, no talk of 4 units off of one pad in 2024. they made the Blackshear unit and put all of the 54 acres in it, as the lease dictates 100% of the tract the pad site is located on. Unit came in strong so they wanted to do the Parr unit to the east. EOG/Redhawk did the unit and the surface owner of Blackshear pad and 100% mineral owner received ZERO minerals in the Parr unit. They did agree in a contract that they could only do one Parr well off their pad for a one time cash paymentā¦and this was only done since family members were in the Parr unit. So, even though the lease does say 100% of the tract the pad/well site is on should be in the unitā¦not so.
In your situation, you would think all 122.75 acres would be in each of the 4 units. i was told no, but still do not agree. Since these 4 wells on 1 pad for 4 separate units were not discussed during the lease process who knew ?? If you have the same lease as me, look at paragraph 4 on the first pageā¦lots of mumbo jumboā¦that states this ?
I think you used Cassy in shiner, i used Jessie in Halletttsville on this particular lease so not sure if same verbiage.
So they are using all of your acreage 92.07 Kenobi, 9.54 Alfaro, 7.38 Bruhn, 16.79 Rawlins= 125.78. But since ātheyā told you the 2 units are off, then you are not at 100% mineral interest in the 2 remaining units. IMO they need to re-figure those unitsā¦but Bruhn and Rawlins are already at max 1280.00 acresā¦.so huge problems. I would not sign any EOG paperwork without your lawyerā¦You do not want to just get 24.17 acres in a total of 2560 acre unit total..this is less than 1% of the combined 2 unitsā¦.
I know you are not the surface owner that is T.K and G.K who have the other 1/2 mineral interestā¦.but you still have the 100% mineral ruleā¦.what are they doing ?? they should be having the same situationā¦.
From what others are saying they are drilling the rawlins unit right now, however it looks like they have finished one already and moved to the next, or getting ready toā¦Not sure how they can be drilling unapproved unitsā¦.If Cassy cannot answer your questions get with Jessie Allen in Hallettsvilleā¦do not work with his daughter Annaā¦Jessie is the OG on this stuffā¦you could also try Mike Steinhauser in Flatonia, he has a lot of knowledge as wellā¦
It still is a good possibility that based on how the lease was written, EOG could be able to do this, itās happened with others, but those units were all drilledā¦.Good Luck !!
Yes, TK and GK are cousins, spoke with GK yesterday about all this so we are on same page. Appears you well informed and may even know them. Thanks for info. I heard same on amounts of each unit. Seems EOG very shady shady at this point and weāll let attorneys sort it out.
Looks like a big meeting with eog and rrc just pulled in. You can tell it big dogs as the hard hats are shiny and white!
Heard the hold out on the lease was signed. Rawlings was finished and I assume the bruhn was spudded.
LKranchā do you know anything about the cancellation of Alfaro & Kenobi units ? thanks
Today I saw a white truck caravan (about 8 trucks) driving though the pastures along the route the pipeline will go to the Gas plant from the Rawlins+3? pad. The land is markedā¦.. and gates through fences already completed. I thought this was EOG with Pipeline construction company or was this RRC ?
Heard it was due to problems with the down dip formation. RRC truck was pulling in while the meeting was going on at the pad site.
If they donāt drill Alfaro and Kenobi, then I would assume they would have to revise the Rawlins and Bruhn units to ensure the pad site tract is 100% in the units. This would be about 100 acres that they are missing. From looking at the location of the surface tract, and the majority was in Kenobi under Bruhn, they would have to shave off 90 acres in the Bruhn tract, and 10 acres in the rawlins tract to accommodate the surface site tract at 100%. The unit would have to be downsized from the south side of Bruhn and northern side of Rawlins. Have not heard this officially, but makes sense.
I put a call into my lawyer yesterday, after getting nervous from all this information coming inā¦should get some sort of answer today, and will let yall know, if I can, what they said. Iām in a āproposedā pad site surface owner/partial mineral owner, and a partial mineral owner only, in another āproposedā pad siteā¦.which is already adjacent with a permitted unit, where I have only a small portion of the mineral acreage in that unitā¦so confusing,ā¦.
Whatever happens I know i will get a āniceā billā¦.as usualā¦..
Worth reminding to look at your lease and check the offset provision (if there is one) in the event EOG or another operator is drilling a well that could possibly trigger the offset provision. Sometimes leases have more stringent offsets that differ from field rules in which the well is permitted in. Just a helpful FYI.
Learned a tidbit of information yesterday from a friend who is still in industry. His coworker has been approached by EOG and another broker to lease their property that I believe is SE of Muldoon, near Baytexās old stuff. I know Baytexās exit to Flywheel et al has been discussed, but thought I would share.
I am not sure if this has any connection to what EOG is doing in NE Lavaca County and if this means they want to trend more NW of Reimars and Monster Rock, but I thought it was relevant to the broader discussion nonetheless.
I guess I donāt understand that if the majority of acreage is in 2 tracts (Alfaro and Kenobi) not being drilled what makes eog say oh letās just shave off some from acreage that will actually be in production ?
Where do the actual take points start in bruhn and Rawlings?
How will those mineral owners feel losing some mineral acreage?
I do understand being upset with EOG not following through with the other 2 wells which seems to be an issue with geology and economic concerns.
Hope it all works out im the end.
If EOG tries to make the mineral owners whole (being 100% in drilled units), and they just place the minerals in Rawlins and Bruhn and shave some off since they are at max 1280 acresā¦this would leave ZERO acreage on the pad tract to do Alfaro or Kenobi down the road. So, I would assume the lawyers are going to have have to write up some documents on all this mess. But from what I am hearing you are way better off in those westward units anywayā¦.again Blackshear surface owner and mineral owners got ZERO minerals in Parr unit !!! Just crazyā¦and they used Blackshear padā¦
Some things that i heard is that Rig #1209 could be leaving our area in about 10 daysā¦.this is not 100% concreteā¦.but in consideration. I almost could see this since there are no new pads started, in the areas based on our mapsā¦which are old since they are moving westwardā¦ and the rig will be done with Bruhn in about 10 days or lessā¦.so it sounds possibleā¦I am hoping they will just go back to an existing pad-Reimers, Blackshear, and drill a unit south of those unitsā¦.but if they are squeamish about drilling Alfaro and Kenobi, then just not sure. Still hoping for a new EOG permit to pop up on the RRC siteā¦.
Also a note that they have not started the fracking on Maddox+3 wellsā¦waiting for Gas Production plant.
Apparently EOG is adding to itās 1 rig in the Doradoā¦bringing it up to 3-4 rigs, rigs are coming from Eagleford and Permian for 2026. More detailed plan will come out end of this month with their 4th Quarter and full year 2025 presentation.
The Corpus Christi Stage 3 will be ready end of this year and EOG has committed to Cheniere energy 720 million cu/ft NatGas per day. This pipeline runs from Dorado.
