Fayette and Lavaca County TX Oil Activity

I believe the Copano gas line was made with the green steel pipes. Where you see the pipes coming above ground they painted them a light blue. I remember when this line was installed. It went by the Zaza well, they had thought that well was going to come in really good. The “Permian Pipeline” in NW Lavaca County is also made of the green pipes. You can see extra green pipes in the plant they have on FM 1295 by the Chalpouka dairy.

I did not know EOG was planning to move the crude oil to the production plant. Where is there an oil pipeline in the vicinity? Maddox+3 will be ready for flowback in about 3 weeks, so that plant and pipelines better be ready.

I have seen gas transmission lines painted green all over Texas - that may be the standard for that type of pipeline (to allow for easy ID if someone accidentally digs and hits a pipeline).

Out here in the Hill Country, the “risers” (above ground pipe sections) also all tend to be blue in color.

These are Kinder Morgan lines.

EOG and Redhawk together have filed an Amended Designation of the Reimers Horizontal Unit stating that it’s only to change the effective date from December 30 to December 1.

I’m curious as to the necessity of doing this. Can anyone explain? Thanks.

Looks like they are cleaning up after the frac last week.

Work continues on the pipelines as well.

Lots of work cleaning up after the frac last week.

Flaring and pipeline work is moving along.

Gas numbers are in for January…

Reimers $8,649

Monster $7,884

This is in dollars since the number million/cubic foot/day would be a small fraction.

However, it is only showing “on site” usage (flaring or used on site). There should also be 2 more numbers each month…dry gas, and wet gas. For December and January nothing is showing. I have never seen this before with any of the EOG wells.

So…there is a possibility of some very late reporting that will appear in the coming months …and this could be big vs the numbers above….when a well has these numbers for onsite then the other 2 numbers usually total about $100,000-$200,000 in sales per month based on today’s rates.

If anyone else follows the Texas Comptroller report and has additional insight please share…

The idle talk with Redhawk leading up to when I signed my lease is that their focus was/is ‘very wet gas’.

At least it’s something. Oil not looking good from what EOG land man told us. The pay zone is very thin Monster and Reimers but EOG doing their best to make wells. Last week they had rework rig on both wells. This week they had 3 frack tanks with fresh water and 4 water trucks with fresh water plus tanker with acid guess wait and see. First week March 10 loads 2nd week 2 loads this week only 1 so far.

EOG just permitted the 4 new units off of CR 306. The pad is about 2000 feet east from the CR 306 entrance. The names are Leakey, Gibson, Worthington and Macdonald.

Pecan pad busy again Monster and Reimer getting another rework rig guess the one they had last week didn’t get the job done. Thank you EOG for trying to get these 2 poor wells going.

Some crazy HIGH numbers from the Francis pad:

These are the results of January GAS for the following units…these units only operated about 3 weeks during this month.

Francis 1.9 million cubic ft/day 2.5 million full month rate adjusted

Friends 21.4 million 27.0 million

Harwi 9.9 million 12.4 million

Mulinge 19.4 million 24.3 million

Can’t wait to see their oil numbers…..

So…we already had the oil numbers, but you really want to see a full 4 week month, but let’s look at the 3 week month anyway…plus there is usually a 7-10 day lag in posting the oil vs the nat gas…so these are 14 day totals that are adjusted for a full month…they are quite BIG: and this is oil only…

Francis 240 bopd (had been shut down 2 1/2 months)

Friends 1879 bopd

Harwi 1175 bopd

Mulinge 1935 bopd

Francis originally came in around 1900 bopd adjusted and Blackshear 1450 bopd adjusted.

Update on monster tubing was pulled yesterday and it went back in. Today tubing is being pulled out again and looks like they got new tubing going back in. Looking at that old tubing it looks nasty. Hotshot truck brought a new tree to go on wellhead. Guess that oil must be like Ford Model A 600 weight gear oil stopping everything up. Anybody got any thoughts on this.

Could be paraffin-rich oil clogging things up. Or early scale issues.

Neither is a good thing to be happening this early in well life.

Rock_Man think you’re right. Found out today Reimers also getting a makeover didn’t know that well had tubing in it. It’s getting pulled now guess all that new tubing going back in.

Just an FYI—Rosewood permitted 6 wells by Flatonia a couple of days ago. I think this is 2 units 3 wells each. Think they are using the fan method again like they did just west of Praha church.

Went by the Maddox pad this morning. They have signs up stating they are hydro testing.

Is this what I am seeing?

Perhaps blowing out the gas line to prep it for testing and taking gas.

Lots of crud and water in the line during construction operation.

Thanks.

Lots of activity at the gas plant today.

I had heard they wanted it going by April 1.

Also laying a new pipeline from the Francis pad to the Maddox as well.

Does anyone know where rig #1209 is at? Went to locator today and it said as of 3/13 it was in McMullen County… way SW from where it was… not sure if this is correct. Also EOG already laid temp waterlines, either 3 or 4 from the new reservoir at the gas plant to Rawlings pad from what I saw today on FM 340… rather early if they are still going to drill Alfaro and Kenobi.. and then frac all 4. Any word if they are going to do CR306 Leakey+3, before Alfaro/Kenobi?

Going down CR 195 today and saw 3 huge storage tanks for that vertical Petrovybe did just south of Lavaca River. These tanks look way larger than normal… must have been an excellent well.
