@Ron: Thanks for the map…excellent find (as always)
@db: Excellent information…just curious as where you’re getting Devon’s “gas in the pipeline” info? I’m asking because Devon has our lease in Garfield County.
@RonVon: No clue I’ll have to check…ha ha

Virginia—next time try Pacific salmon if you can find any. The best smoked salmon I ever ate was at LaPush, Washington. A little Indian fishing village on the Pacific side of the Olympic Peninsula about as far northwest as you can get. Fresh smoked right out of a homemade smokehouse—delicious.
Meanwhile, in Cyprus, it looks as if they will tax all existing deposits in all banks only 1% so as to get bailed out by the EU. This is because they do not want the Russians poking holes for oil/gas. Could that happen here? Well, 1% does not sound like much, but that is not too important. The important thing is the Taxman and tax ladies have gotten their greedy foot in the door if this goes through. Mister Obama is watching I bet.
Virginia, did you see the map I posted 21 hours ago of what Logan County will look like?
Ron,
I must have missed the map on Logan County. Would you please share it again? Thank you.
Guess I was too busy making homemade bread and cooking salmon. Guess I had better get back to business.
Ron,
Thank you for the response. We have a very small interest, so am I correct that I should just wait for any potential pooling? Easy decision that I will take the 1/4.
Virginia—I didn’t see the spud notice but from information I read, it sounds like they have started drilling on Ruffed Grouse 1-20H at 20-17-3. Hopefully I’m not reading something into it that is not there. It’s raining here a little and supposed to for a couple of days, and same forecast for Logan County area.
W Schweer, a lot of leasing around both townships but not much drilling yet. Devon has pooled 11-15N-2W and were ordered to offer $500 for 3/16th or 0 cash and 1/4th. They started a well there 12/15/12.
Thanks Ron.
I sure hope that Logan County doesn’t get like that.
But, I’m so happy for the people in North Dakota and especially the farmers who have had a hard time making a living up there. I just hope they still have their minerals and can enjoy a little of that money.
Did you see where they said that was 8,000 wells and they expect 50,000? At 100,000 B of water per well?
@chad, devon buried a gas line from the well to a gas trans line, about 2000feet
db,
Here is a link. Scroll down to OAP Orders and Case Files; If you know any of the docket numbers for Location, Spacing or Pooling, you can find the others.

Only God knows how I got there and for sure no one at OCC Helpdesk will assist with anything. Clearly I was looking for something about the Sooner Well that is in the top part of the screen. Notice also the other links. None of this requires Oracle. Good luck.
thank you for the pooling info
Catherine,
I see the permit to drill 2/8 and well spud 3/19, so they will be drilling off Ruffed before long.
I know they are really doing lots of drilling in Noble County, north of Perry and northeast.
Keep that rain coming down, hope that will help the meadows and get some water in the ponds.
db,
This is how I get to pooling order docket.

Down to Case Processing
You have to have Oracle’s software at this point and it doesn’t run with Windows 8.
left box 1. Cause
2. Equals
3. put in case #
Middle box add entry
5. get results
Once that comes up, highlight case # or whatever you want to look at.
Then there are 2 magnification icons, hit that and that should get you close. I hope I haven’t missed a step.
Can I stop my Bedonkohe Rain Ritual Dance now?
Ronald,
Keep dancing, I need 26 feet to fill my ponds.
Regarding do they drill on Sunday, come on Ronald, they drill every day, even on Christmas Day. Once the well starts it can’t quit. I remember as a kid they moved drilling rigs on Christmas Day and it had rained so much that a dozer was pushing the truck down the road. This was before gravel roads. Do they get overtime? Dream on, this is really hard work. Some companies let them work 6 hours on, 6 hours to sleep and 6 hours work. They live in trailer bunks on site. Lots of drilling companies are a lot nicer than others and have their meals delivered to the well site. Do they get to see their family? If they have a drilling break they may be lucky to get to see them. Do they make what CEOs make? No way.
Ron,
I did post a Bass v Chesapeake. I can’t wait to see the outcome of this suit. This Dallas attorney is really great in court and will probably use Chesapeake attorney as a mop.
Harley,
OCC is a little dated, but they are trying. Oklahoma has come a long ways in the last few years. But, they still have the “Pony Express” bring parts to the equipment dealers. I thought it was a joke till I saw it with my own eyes. Next time call Donna or Junior at 405-521-2613. But, you have to be really nice or they may not like Texans. They have been great to me and very helpful. I can tell you stories about the RRC and some of their services, guess it’s who you know and what kind of a day they had. I know OCC is supposed to be getting some new software program in and hopefully it will be more user friendly.
Ronald, keep dancing.
Larry,
I think it’s come a long ways, but I still don’t think it’s an easy job. My uncle owned a drilling company in Cushing, Oklahoma back in the 1940s/1970s and I knew I didn’t want that kind of work. The filling station and restaurant on Highway 51 and I-35 (Logan County) was taking meals to rig sites for $25 per meal. I heard that drilling companies were having trouble getting people to work, so guess they are having to treat their workers better. I think our welfare system maybe the blame for this or maybe we need to get more south of the border people in Oklahoma. Now offshore is a whole different world. Have a friend in Louisiana who hasn’t seen her husband for 6 months, he works offshore.

Poor poor Sue : ~} – guess I can’t relate too well, eh?
That is interesting insight to it, especially for stockholders. Kinda reminds me of an old Melanie Griffith movie I can’t remember the name of.
