Okay, Rick…We WERE talking about two different Floyd wells. The one of which I spoke was a horizonal. Sorry…sometimes it’s best to keep my thoughts to myself.
Debby Vandeventer, I received notice from Newfield a few days ago for a request for relief spacing. They are going to drill horizantal in Sec 28 & 33 2N 3W. I have some interest in 33 but not 28. So I would say that’s getting pretty close to your sec 27. I am thinking and hoping that 2N 3W is going to be the new 2N 4W, where alot of people on this forum have had good things happen. Fingers are always crossed. You could be next
We have lots of Michaels but just one Hutch. He’s the one that pesters me! lol Keep it coming I can take it and have been known to dish some out but only when it’s due! Right Hutch?
Let’s see if I understand this correctly: The drilling on the Williams well will start in 19-that’s where you would see the rig? then go horizontally thru 18 to 7? Payout will be in 7 & 18?
Vicki, how did you know that it would start in 19? I assume the surface owners of 19 get something? From way out here in Delaware, it seems like noone lives in that area, otherwise how could they drill in so many places? One of these days I would love to come there & see for myself what’s going on. I have looked on Google but that’s not the same as being on the ground.
Yes, Hutch, I do answer to Pam (don’t tell my mom!) & thanks for that explanation of the well’s name. Makes sense, after all!
Yes, Pamela…my husband says it’s all within the same area. Where we live is included in that area. In fact we live in 4n,4w. I can remember which section. I’m thinking we’re like in 18. Anyway he said the NW corn or the North East Purdy Unit starts out in the Hughes Community (about five miles SE of Lindsay and it runs nearly to Rush Creek then goes west back across highway 76 and runs north of the Purdy Cemetary and about where the plant (I think he said old Mobil plant but not sure) is and then starts north to about hiway 19 and back to Hughes. The old Citi Service was bought out by Oxy which is now Sheredon. They and Merit (who bought out Mobil (around here anyway) control that unit. He said the NEPHU and the NEPSU are all in the same area it just means the wells were drilled to different sands with the Hart being the more shallow sand (and being gas wells mainly) and the Springer Sand. I hope I repeated all of it right. Merit has an office here in Lindsay and have some really nice people working there. The main Hancho’s name is Clay (his last name excapes me at the moment but they are neighbors and good friend to our kids that live in Blanchard). He could probable give you some more info. as to locations and might even have a map if you wanted to call him.
Preston said at one time (back when we had Lindsey Well Service) that the Citi Service Company man had 7 of our rigs working in the Purdy Unit and told us they were going to be working 17 rigs in it all the time. So that’s when Preston started buying more rigs. He said we were trying to have some rigs for some of our other customers. When started in the business he had two old rickety rigs and a little two room shack of an office in Elmore City. Thirty Five years later when they all retired they had 16 nice well service rigs, two drilling rigs and three locations (at Lindsay, Alma and Wilberton) and had everything paid for. The work in this NE Purdy Unit was a big player in making that all come about. If you did come look it all over you would see oil tanks and pumping units dot the country side all over. The difference in the area which the SCOOP covers (which in a lot of the same area) is that the new locations usually have more tanks and not many of them have pumping units (some on here call pump jacks) on them as they are going much deeper to the Woodford zone and they make enough gas that they flow back instead of having to be pumped out. Hope this helps.
Pam,
I’m not sure Merit will be able to provide the info you are looking for. If you were only trying to transfer the Royalty Interest, they should be able to. But even that may be difficult. However I would guess that you are trying to transfer everything. IE Mineral Rights as well as the producing interests of these units (RI)
Here is some data the “Hart” unit. Since you like genealogy they may not put you to sleep!

This one may give the most info. Look at the exhibit “A” map on page 24.

Rick, I actually just came across a grid that Lynden Foley made for me about a year ago from the description on an old lease of daddy’s. I think this might be at least part of the Merit interest?
“NW/4 SW/4 NE/4, S/2 SW/4 NE/4, NW/4 SE/4, W/2 SW/4 SE/4, SE/4 SW/4, E/2 NE/4 SW/4 of Section 21, Township 04 North, Range 04 West, containing 150.00 acres, more or less.”-yeah, scary is right! But, at the time he sent this I was able to plot it so I see the shape of it. I just don’t know if that’s all of it, and I don’t understand why the lease says Cianna Resources, Inc. (date is 1996) if this is Merit’s.
Debby,
Nothing yet but there is some increasing interest in the area.
Thanks Rick. I know it’s in a different county but I have some small interest in 30-2N-4W, 31-2N-4W, and 25-6N-4W. I read about the Scoop. Do any of these fall in that area. Thanks
Yes, although the “Scoop” varies in projected resources. 30-2N-4W, 31-2N-4W are very near the core of current activity 30 appears to be held by production by Chesapeake. Maybe the driver changes at CHK will allow something to happen there before long. They are holding up a bunch of areas we have rights in right now also. There had been enough leasing near 25-6N-4W to make me think we’ll see something in the next few years.** **
Hutch (do you prefer Michael?), that is some dif. Does the fact they are poring so much money into the Williams 1H-7X (who dreams up these designations?!) mean they are sure of getting a lot of profit out of it?
Hutch, I thought the Williams was going to start in 19, but only 7 & 18 would get the pay out. Please correct me if I’m wrong (it happens). I’ll be excited if 19 is included in the perfs.
Well Linda, this Michael needs to be called Bonehead right now! I can take it too.
Pam, Ms. Typo…I mean Linda is an excellent reporter! She has been a great help to those of us who can’t go out and see it for ourselves. It was really exciting when she was giving me the play by play on our well about a year and a half ago.
lol lol Hutch had me pegged right, “Ms Type-O” I meant to say I “can’t” remember which section ours is and I said I “can” thus the nickname! lol
Anyway I meant also to say we live about five miles south of Lindsay which is included in the area you were speaking of.
I believe we will be going down through the diggins today so will report if I see anything new.
Pam once the well has been permitted you can check to see if it has been SPUD(started) go to: http://www.occpermit.com/WellBrowse/Home.aspx
Enter name and well number or section, township and range hit search and go from the menu that comes up. If you are lucky eventually they might post a completion report or even some production numbers(gas only). The OCC rules are more like suggestions, so don’t set your expectations too high. Feel free to keep asking too, sometimes information is there but you have to dig for it but that might be right down your alley with your genealogy experience.
OK Rick-now you’ve led me to another question! What is the difference between the Mineral Rights and the Royalty Interest? I thought I was trying to transfer one thing. One our statements it says “RI” which is Royalty Interest I assume, but Merit is asking for a recorded Executor’s Deed which requires a complete land description. (Of course, they have not provided that!) So are they intending to transfer the Mineral Rights as well? They did transfer the RI from our father to his estate a few years ago, don’t remember it being all that complicated. Now we are asking them to split the account evenly 3 ways. Maybe that’s the dif.?
Pamela, Just ignore me if I am stepping in where I shouldn’t…but
If mineral interest is transferred and recorded in the County Clerks office all of your royalty interest will automatically be transferred once you send a copy of the recorded document to the oil company. Also, make sure the transfer of interest from your fathers estate is recorded at the County Clerks office or it is not a valid transfer.
Linda, not to change the subject, you mentioned that you are located in possibly Sec 18 4N 4W. I looked in that location of Garvin Co. and it appears that there is a large oil / gas operation with multiple wells located there in the NW 1/4. What wells are these? It looks like about six or more from google maps.
Rick, yes, I do expect to find that there are a bunch more owners right there, probably all family. This legacy was passed down from I know not who, originally, but at least from my Grandfather’s brother & at that time there were a lot of names involved already. I’ve tried finding some of those cousins but no luck. I also tried to place that description within the original description, in those docs you linked, of the Hart part of sec 21 & saw that it didn’t completely match. I’ll take a closer look-I printed out the maps-later. Curiouser & curiouser! Thanks for the help.
