The 39 leases only cover 513 acres in six surveys. The tracts are mostly non-contiguous, so it looks like Kimmeridge might have started a leasing program and decided to stop. Most of the leases were written from September through December 2023.
Here’s a map of the survey locations:

I just replied but the mods seem to censor me when I provide info. Hope it makes it.
A _screamer_ is an extreme, super-pressurized _gas well_, so-called because they produce an audible shriek.

The wells in the area are monster wells. They produce under such high volume and pressure the pipes literally make a screaming sound. Here are the screamer wells in the nearby Robertson and Leon County area:
Circle M 1H - Comstock Currie 2HB - Aethon Cazey Black A 1H - Comstock River Ranch 1H - Aethon Campbell B 2H - Comstock Dinkins JG 1H - Comstock McCullough Ingram A 1H - Comstock Cazey MS 1H - Comstock Lanier CW 1H - Comstock Koda 1H - Aethon

All I know about Kimmerige is that they have been trying to buy out SilverBow for a while.
