Does anyone know anything about Osage’s well Wolfe 1-29H in Logan County? Where is it and how is it doing?
Hey, Virginia, Lee, Ann,
Thank you all for the information. What I’ve found helpful is using Google Earth to find a lot of the wells mentioned. It’s free to download if you’re not familiar with it.
For example, the well a couple miles NE of Mulhall is at N 36 04’18.29" W 97 25’14.52" (Latitude and Longitude). You can type the numbers above into the Search Box (actually it says Fly To) and click on the magnifying glass and it takes you right to that point on the map! You have to use the exact form as I did in order for it to take you to that spot otherwise you might end up in another part of the world.
You can probably cut and paste the coordinates I gave above into the search box and that would probably work.
South East of Mulhall, at N 36 2’37.41" W 97 23’19.42" there’s another large pad site with just pumps, tanks and other hardware–it looks recently completed and in production.
Virginia asked about wells North of Perry and I found one at N 36 21’44.79" W 97°14’14.22" and you can zoom right in and see the cleared out pad the towering derrick and all the service vehicles and supplies!
If anyone else is interested I’d be happy to list the coordinates to the other wells I’ve located in the areas mentioned.
Look near Lucien for example at, N 36 12’58.26" W 97 26’38.55", it looks to me like they’re getting ready to put up a Derrick or are breaking one down?
God Bless
Steve,
I will have to do a lot more research on this site. Again, thanks for all the information. I did pin icon a couple of my farms, still have several to go. Now I will have to look at all your suggestions and see what I can find. I did find a date at the bottom of the map, and it was 9-2011. So that explained why the new wells weren’t on the map.
Again, thanks for all the information.
Yes Virginia, I believe they update their satellite imagery twice a month but that doesn’t apply to the entire globe. They are constantly updating as data from different areas comes in—one month it might be Oklahoma and 15 other States the next, another 15 or so and based on my experience the areas I’ve been keeping tabs on seem to have new images on a quarterly basis.
Another interesting feature is you can look at time lapse images dating back to 1991 although the images in this case span decades and then years as one gets closer to 2012.
To find the activity I mentioned below I initially had to scan around the areas Lee mentioned and once I found an area of activity I added a placemark (the little yellow pin icon) and when doing so it gives you the latitude and longitude. The scanning really wasn’t that difficult or time consuming, once I knew what to look for.
Another thing that I really like about the program is that you can also map and highlight Township, Range and Section anywhere in the US.
Regards,
Steven
Thanks Steve! This is a brilliant idea!! This can be a great tool if I can figure out how to use it. I’ll have to try your suggestion below in finding the longitude and latitude. I tried using the longitude and latitude I found on OCC, but it didn’t work so, I’ll try what you said, with the placemark! Thanks again!
The OCC web site is the most current and accurate site to get all oil field activity information. It at times takes them one or two weeks to post drilling permits, change in operator status, etc., but this site is managed by the commission and is the one to trust for up to date info. Just follow the links to type of information you’re wanting. It’s not too difficult.
Lee
Lee,
I will agree that OCC web site is probably the best, but I find it’s hard to use. What is the secret to using this site? I have been able to find several things, but sometimes, it’s like it doesn’t want to go anywhere for me.
I would recommend calling them as myself when I first started using the site. They are very helpful with navigating to the different areas of information. There are a lot of different categories, they will tell you where to go to find the type of info you want. It will save you a lot of time and headache, unless you like playing with that stuff which I don’t. I normally have my clerk get it for me.
Virginia Thanks for putting together the list!
I bought some land NE of Crescent and Dawson ran cables across. The middle of it I don’t own mineral rights. Is there anything I should do? Nobody told me there was going to be seismic testing on the land. Should they be paying me for using my land without my permission?
Can anyone comment as to what surface damages are bringing? How do they determine a fair value? If they take 5 acres out of a productive wheat pasture would I be able to value it as to the lost production for the next 50 years? How does this fair value get determined? Also, can anyone tell me why they are not drilling the vertical and building the curve under the adjacent property in order to get the entire lateral from line to line, on a section? I know that Chesapeake is doing this, but so far I haven’t heard that Devon is. I live in 18N 3W Sec 4.
Trevor, yes you should get paid and they should have gotten an easement from you. They may already have an easement from the prior owner though.
Robert Brian,
They are supposed to pay you FMV for your lost wheat pasture and lost production would be a factor in the determination. Probably not 50 years worth though, but at least 3 years. Also, did you lose in any wheat field from the road? What about drainage? Did they do a survey? Did they tell you exactly where the well will be? All of these are factors. If they cannot reach agreement with you, they will sue you in court for a determination of the value and they will pay you that value.
Thank you. I called everyone and their brother and they compensated me for the trouble.
The seismic work is looking for the Mississippi Chat formation which is within the Mississippi Lime formation. Apparently the Chat is a harder rock that shows up on seismic. The Mississippi formation is already highly fractured, the fractures run east to west, and that is why they are drilling south to north or north to south. I don’t know about the other formations. I was under the impression that most of the Devon play was for the Mississippi, but apparently they are also drilling horizontals in the shale. If anyone has any information about the surface damages, and what they are bringing I would like to know.
Hello, my father inherited an “undivided interest in the oil, gas and other minerals” in and under Section 33, Township 17 North, Range 2 West in Logan County, Oklahoma. He is now deceased and I am his daughter. I would like to know how to register my name as the heir to this interest and I’d like to know if there is any activity in that area. Thank you, D.
I’ve dealt with this on a few occasions and highly recommend you get legal help for this. Lots of activity and more to come (as long as oil prices stay up). It will all crumble if oil goes below 80. Don’t see it happening any time soon. Peak season ahead.
Thank you Lee. I do have the owner’s will that wills the rights to my father (or to me if he died before the owner of the mineral rights). Can you recommend someone who can provide legal help? I live in Texas. I’m wondering if I should consult a local attorney or an Oklahoma attorney familiar with the activity in Logan County. By the way, I did send notice of my rights to the County Clerk’s Office in Logan County, Oklahoma in 2001. Thank you.
D. Pharr - An easy step is to record the will and other related probate documents (like the estate inventory (if it exists) and the order admitting the will to probate from the county where the probate occurred).

Nikki Leach, an attorney in Perry Oklahoma. He was raised in the area of Mulhall Orlando, knows the area well and is highly recommended.
