I’m looking for current status, operator, last date of production etc on a well. The state well finder only leads to frustration for me. The name of the well is Stroud Prue Sand Unit Track 40. I can find 40-2 and other 40-number wells. I cannot find just 40. I can zoom in on the map, find the section and lots of wells. Tried all search options I can think of. What am I doing wrong? Division order and checks only say that. No other well name or sub number.
It’s in Sec 18 14N 7E Creek
We haven’t been paid in over two years nor received shut in royalty. I asked the people on the division order for the name of the operator and they said it was either Juno or SNR. Trying to press them to release it, plug it, something besides sit on it.
The way a waterflood works is that your acreage has been rolled into a larger unit and you now get a decimal portion (0.8943) of ALL of the wells in a unit as long as the unit remains productive. They put your tract number on the statement. (Mayley-Leslie was the original lease name.)
Here is a search on section 18-14N-7E from the tax authority.
I looked at quite a few of the wells in sec 18 and they are listed as inactive. SNR Operating LLC is listed as the operator, but that might have been a long time ago. I see Vanguard Operating sold to Rover Operating in 2016. Who was your last check from?
You can look up each of the wells in 18-14N-07E on the OCC well records. Several of the ones on your acreage have already been plugged. But you should receive income until the whole unit is finished. It is very old and may be finished at this point.
Wow. I hadn’t guessed that possibility nor known how to search for or look it up. Thank you so much. The last check we siblings all received was from CVR-Coffeyville Resources for production through 3/2024. Extex name and number is on the CVR Division order. I emailed Extrex asking for a release on the well if they weren’t going to produce it. That got booted to CVR. CRV responded I would need to talk to the operator, that they do not operate wells. When I asked who the operator was they said either Juno or SNR. I somehow thought after some digging it was SNR and sent them a certified letter weeks ago. No response.
This well has been a mystery. It was inherited and there was no information about it. Just a yearly small check. Yesterday in the county records I found where my step great-grandfather had a mineral deed for 1/16 interest in N2 of the N2 of SE4 of 18-14N-07E. I assume we inherited our piece of that. Since I posted this question, I understand from the CC mapped site there’s three wells in that piece of Section 18. All three have been plugged. Two were plugged decades ago, with the last one, 40-3 I think, plugged in 2021. So it still didn’t make since why I got paid for production after that date. It does now! I assume this also might mean, since we haven’t been paid, all three or four of the “active” wells in this unit are shut in and not producing. My main objective was to attempt to get whomever has the keys to the well that’s shut it but holding the acres by production to give it up so the acreage is open. I don’t think there’s much if anything going on with new exploration in that area though. It’s estate housekeeping for me and the heirs.
EXTEX is a contract Division Order outsourcing company. They have nothing to do with operations or the ownership of an OGL. They tend to be helpful and responsive.
Thanks. I don’t understand what role CVR plays, who issued the division order. Are they in the money stream between the product buyer, the operator and the mineral owners? Or does the money flow from buyer, to operator to CVR to mineral owners?
CVR is the crude purchaser, Extex is the contractor handling DO admin. Your operator is a different company. You will have to research your current Lessee or if your interest is subject to a pooling order. Securing a ROGL or an affidavit of non-production can require significant research.
Sounds like this one has a lot of players. We had two other played out wells where the operator, the company on the division order and the company signing royalty checks were all the same. Chesapeake was one of them. They fairly easily gave us a release and then sold the well bore to PO&G. It’s still shut in 4-5 years later. A land company who wanted to lease it got that done I think by just asking. I had sent a letter to Chesapeake some months before asking.
Brent Baker had another one, shut in too long. I sent them a letter asking for a release. They filed one and then plugged the well. I got spoiled I guess.
Both of those were gas wells.
I’ll look at all the wells in this unit and see what I can learn. Thanks!
