Hutch, I did the well search you suggested. I got no results at all for Sec. 7 2N3W. For Sec. 8 2N3W I got 3 results: the first one [which coincidentally is named “Reeves”-that’s us!] says operator 9998 which I figured out means “no operator”; also says PA under status, Indian under “M”, and then in last 2 unnamed columns says CNE4 and NW4. Can you please tell me what those mean?
Next 2 results are exactly the same, and are the Floyd 1-8 and under “M” says “IM”, then C SW SW NE in those last columns. Same question from me. Just trying to understand what I’m looking at!
I did click on the little “search” icons at the beginning of each line & only got the same list repeated. So just no details are avail. yet? Or am I doing something wrong? [not for the first time, for sure!]
That’s pretty wild! varied experience, there! Well, you do have a talent for instruction, for sure. I know I very much appreciate it & I’m sure many others do as well. Thanks for your generous sharing of your multi-layered expertise!
Pam, I’ll defer to Rick on those well locations, much more experienced than I am.
M means meridian, IM is the Indian Meridian which divides the state down the middle, east and west. The CM or Cimarron meridian divides the panhandle from the rest of the state. PA=plugged/abandoned. I’ll look at the instructions I gave you and see if I can refine them a little, I’m still learning all the little tricks on the OCC websites.
Pam, I just remembered, sec 7 is the Williams 1H-7X with the surface location I sec 19, so if you search by location it shows up in 19-2N/4W. If you know the name of the well it’s easier to search by name and the multiple locations won’t trip you up. All the location information will be on the permit.

Pam,
Hutch is correct the land survey east/west location in Oklahoma is based off of the Indian Meridian in everything but the panhandle which is based off of the Cimarron Meridian.
Once you have it down to the section they further refine the location of the well with the next part of your question. To plot it, read it backwards. In your example C SW SW NE If you see E N S W but itself it would be the “half” instead of a “quarter” You will also see S/2 or S2 NE/4 or NE4 in some descriptions.
Thank you, one & all! So Rick, how does that work, the producing overlapping the non-producing? Is that 2 different interests, so that if both were “producing” it would be double (for example) payments? In otherwords, do I add those overlapping interests together to see the total we have there? And how can that be-If it’s producing that means a well is there so how can it be non-producing at the same time?! I am confused…again!
Hutch, that did the trick, thanks! I just used the well name & 2N3W, got 9 listings, all say sec. 19. I assume “AC” under Status means “active”? That’s on the 1st 2 listings. But I still don’t get any other details when I click on the search icon next to the API number. Am I supposed to?
Pam, after you click on the magnifying glass next to the api# you should get another search box that has 4 buttons across the bottom, click the right one for “view images”, that gives you a list of docs such as 1000, 1002A etc which are permits, spud reports, completion reports and so on. Once again hit the mag. glass to view the document.
I talked to Rick earlier, I forgot to call him Professor!
Good morning everyone. It’s been a couple of weeks since I been on the forum. Putting in a lot of overtime out here in California. Anyways, what’s the status on sec20 3N 4W ? I’m leased to CR and want to know if anyone has received royalty checks from them yet? Supposedly, them are some pretty good wells out there in sec sec 20. Any info would be helpful, thanks.
oh, great! yes, those descriptions are from a probate. As I said earlier, I have seen that 1st part of the longer description differently stated on other doc’s, I think old leases. Guess I’ll have to do some more digging on that one. Thanks for the help!
