Linda, never saw an idea put forward yet that could not be improved on.
Hutch, you do like everything about the Poteet, I know. The brother told me the Xs could be replaced with figures as they came in. Thanks for help.
Clint, I know he will appreciate the invite. As I have stated, he lives about 1300 miles away, but I will broach the subject to him. Thanks.
Richard thatās a good format, thanks for posting. I especially like the Poteet!
Richard #26 Marathon, Smith 1-18H I think is in 18-3N-4W Garvin County.
Thanks Ron, I will get it fixed as soon as I talk to Roger.
In the post below Iām talking about the first Branch well.
Linda,
Look at the production date on this completion report
This link is not operable. Linda and Ron this should fix the problem. It is also subject to errors because Roger says I wonāt learn if he does the fixing so he talks me thru it on Skype. Then he gives tests. Donāt like um.
Very nicely done, Richard! Youāre a fast learner!
Iām thinking if the first production date is 6/7/12 they might very well owe us some interest as we didnāt get the check until Dec. 24. What do you all think, guys? The Newfield lady told us 6/17/12 and I thought from talking to the flow tester it was about 6/24/12. Guess I need to check on it.
Oh, yes, Danielā¦ Thanks for this! That sheds a lot of light into their thinking. So I guess probably the first sales date (not the first production date) is what they go by for the interest owed or not owed us, right? In that case they would probably not have to pay us since we got our check only a week later than we were thinking the six months would be up. I imagine they would say they have until the end of the sixth month. Ya think? Donāt want to seem greedy but would like to get it if owed to us.
Three days ago there was a tall pipe burning a flare on the new Mashburn 1H-33 3N/4W in Garvin County. Person I talked to was there to X-ray the pipeline welds and could only say that to his knowledge the well had a lot of gas. Does the flare burning gas indicate dry gas as opposed to wet gas?
Explanation I heard is that the flares are to help handle the pressure of so much gas. Iām like Hutch in that Iād bet itās wet gas. They are having to pinch down all those wells down there because of so much gas pressure. Thatās the third or fourth one Iāve known where they lit a flare. The flare was out on the Tina on Section 1, Township 2N, Range 4W and they had set SIX tanks this time instead of the usual four. Donāt know if thatās because it covers two or more sections or if itās just got more oil or ???
Richard, from the location of the well my bet is on it being wet gas, but as to the flaring process I donāt know if the NGLs burn or are left behind as residue. A question for Don Underwood.
Thanks Hutch. Maybe you could goose Don and get his opinion.
Come to think of it, that is probably what you have done by bringing his name to the fore.
From Roger.
Pertaining to the new Mashburn 1H-33 3N/4W. There are only 2 small camping trailers there now for people habitation and 3 or 4 frack tanks situated a little east of the well head. One person kinda sauntering around the well head and the flare is still going strong. Was tempted to walk down into the location and ask some questions but Margie pointed to the sign stating one must have a hard hat and didnāt believe my hard head would suffice, leaving us to only know what we saw.
I was told that the flares down at our diggins were to help relieve some of the pressure so it wouldnāt (and I donāt remember what they said exactly) choke out the chokes (or something like that). Don and some of you guys are probably out there laughing because I got the wording wrong. If thatās the case help me out fellas!
The Construction Co. guy we talked to Thurs. said they were going to be busy all weekend moving three rigs for Continental down south (of Lindsay here about 9 miles). When I asked where they were moving them to, he said, āWell, two of them are going on the North side of Rush Creek. So I guess thatās to some of the wells in Garvin 3N, 4W or near there.ā He never finished as to where the third was moving to. Kind of hoping it might go to Stephens County, Section 29 (it would be better for us if it was going to 34 2N, 4W but they havenāt let any plans out for there yet). I know there are lots of people on here that would like to have it. Right?
Linda, they may not be going that far south. CR has applications in for 5, 6, 7 & 8-2N/4W. Then they are moving back into 17! (just kidding about that part).
Cactus 146 is down. Donāt know where it went if it has in fact been moved from the Campbell location.
A rig has just been set up on Section 19 3N/4W. Havenāt seen one like it before.
David, ānormalā varies greatly depending on your perspective. In the area we are discussing here the gas production on most of the newer wells has been in the 2500-7000 mcfd range, average about 4500 mcfd. These are initial rates and a year later you might see 50% of that. As Linda said a new normal. In other parts of the Anadarko 500-1000 might be considered good gas production. Most of us are so new to this that we are learning from each other as we go along.
