I NOTICED THE ICON OF A RIG ON SECTION 19, RANGE 97 TOWNSHIP 153, THEN IT DISAPPEARED A FEW WEEKS AGO, NOW THE ICON OF A RIG IS BACK. I DO KNOW FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH MY LANDMAN THAT THEY WERE DRILLING 4 WELLS THERE, I AM ONLY CONCERNED WITH THE 2 GARMAN. I WONDER IF BEING THE RIG ICON IS BACK, CAN YOU TELL ME IF THAT MEANS THE RIGS ARE BEING FRACKED OR ARE THEY REDRILLING? THIS RIG WAS TO MOVE ONTO SECTION 30 NEXT TO DRILL 2 MORE WELLS ON A PAD WITH 2 WELLS ALREADY. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF THE ICON MEANS THE WELLS ARE BEING FRACKED? THANKS FOR ANY HELP ON THIS MATTER ARDIS TILL JACKSON
Ardis, operators frequently have a less capable rig drill, basically a pilot hole then bring in a more capable rig later to complete the vertical and horizontal drilling. It saves time, money and wear and tear on the more capable rig. I think this is probably what you are seeing.
Thanks for your answer, I would say you are an expert on oil. What you say makes a lot of sense as it appeared to me they were drilling the 4 wells quite fast. This information is good to know, and now I can sit back and wait. These wells come off the confidential list next month, but I would bet it is longer. Thanks again for your reply, if I was in Watford I would check it out. Ardis Till Jackson
