A producer friend of mine tells me that my new Oklahoma Rap song DRILL BABY DRILL will probably make me more money than my Mineral rights. LOL May be true.
db—thank you. How about that well up there in Kingfisher? We could use one just like it at the Grouse. Happy Trails

Hold on my Cousin, we need one much better, it needs to be a new trendsetter in the Continental USA struggle for oil independence from the tyrants in the mid-east. Even Obama recognizes this reality, and I am sure Osage Exploration and Slawson are equally aware of it and indeed working for such wells. To date, the best on Mainlas USA is in the Texas Panhandle, a little over 7,300 bpd. We need to double that, or keep on caving in to foreign oil supplies. It is coming, or my puppy eats kitty litter. New high capacity pumps have indeed been manufactured for our future, and it looks BRIGHT to me. As a footnote, and a VERY IMPORTANT FOOTNOTE, just this Thursday, Obama signed a new far reaching agreement with Mexico to increase oil exploration with Mexico in the entire Gulf of Mexico. More deepwater wells that will top 50,000 bpd like the Deepwater Horizon. I am still convinced Logan County and Payne County in Oklahoma will go the same way. The crude is down there, and Osage needs a blowout like we have never witnessed before, but hopefully no one will get injured from it. Just a BIG SHOW of what is headed our way. We must dream and plan for higher things or go down the drain for not doing it.
I would be happy with a steady income of a lot of 50bopd wells.
We need to research a lot, it is just not conceivable to me to settle on “well that is the best we can do…” History has proven too many times that there is no limit except what some people impose on themselves. Reality is oil companies tell the better side to investers and the limiting and low side to mineral rights owners so they can purchase up all of the rights from owners as cheaply as they can. I believe this has more to do with our well output in the continental USA than anything. It has not been too long ago that a 100 bod well was good and anyone talking a thousand a day was probably bound for the loony bin. Technology keeps changing, and our knowledge of what and how much is under our feet is not even close to being understood even with years of research. When I was a Sonarman in the Navy, a mile away was nearly impossible to detect a submarine, 3 years later, we coulsee a sub pulling out of any North Sea port from Norfolk Virginia, even if the sub was submerged. this is the very same technology used in oil exploration. Headlines reading “One Problem is that Oklahoma Just Has Too Much OIL” but is behind in having the tech to get it yet. I think the Oil companies know, and Logan County is a spearhead of developement.

Gary here you go.
Stay hopeful, but stay realistic.
Ronald,
I love your enthusiasm, but don’t get your hopes up for 50,000 bopd onshore in Oklahoma. The geology in Oklahoma is completely different than the Gulf of Mexico and some of the other places that you have mentioned. Completely different petroleum plumbing systems, reservoir rocks, source rocks, maturation levels, drilling and completion techniques, etc. I am a geologist with 30 years experience in offshore and onshore exploration and production. And we really do not want a blowout. That would be extremely dangerous to life and limb, environmentally irresponsible and would set back the whole industry. But keep wishing happy thoughts for what will be developed by forward thinking companies trying new technology. This Mississippi Lime play is physically incapable of producing in those kind of quantities, but it will provide a reasonable return for those who are good stewards of its resources.
We see it every day on TV, Emerson commercial that says, “It’s never been done before, simply becomes…consider it solved.” It is all the power of “Yeh, I know, but What if???”
SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Osage Exploration and Development, Inc.** (OTCBB:OEDV)**, an independent exploration and production company focused on the Horizontal Mississippian and Woodford plays in Oklahoma, announced today preliminary production results on the Blevins 1-7H Horizontal Mississippian well in Logan County, Oklahoma. The Blevins 1-7H, located in Section 7-17N-3W and operated by Stephens Production Company, achieved one-day peak production of 557 BOE on a gas lift and has averaged 466 BOE in the seven days since that peak.
Management Comments
“The Blevins 1-7H is further indicative that the decision to look to Logan County as the cornerstone of our Horizontal Mississippian and Woodford exploration was the correct one,” stated Mr. Kim Bradford, Chairman and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development. “We have been able to replicate the results generated with our project operator Slawson Exploration Company, Inc. and also with other top quality oil companies that we participate with, such as Devon Energy Corporation and Stephens Production Company. While this is somewhat at odds with the conventional wisdom regarding the high variability of results to be expected in the Miss Lime, we are seeing a growing consistency across not only our entire area but also across operating teams and methods. This boosts our confidence even more.”
It seems to me that Payne county drilling permits are being approved about 8 or 10 times the rate of Logan County in recent weeks. Also, multiple wells on the same section are higher in Payne than nearly anywhere. I wonder about the rest of Oklahoma?
I visited a completed, the rig gone, well site on CR (County Road) 75 about a 1/4 mile west of Kelly. It was NOT 330 feet away from the south boundary of 17N-3W-22 which as far as I know has NOT been pooled. Does anyone have knowledge about the pooling of this well identified as Miller No.1-23, I think, but am sure that the legal on the sign was SW/SW/Sec. 23-17N-3W. However, the well head looked like it was in Section 27 South of the CR 75 road about 100 feet. Large “salt water” tanks were on the North side about 150 feet north of the “well head.” This well and tanks appeared to be straddling the Section line CR 75 between South side of Section 22 and North side of Section 27 at least an 1/8 to 1/4 mile OUTSIDE of section 23 which was on the sign identifying the well.
So I am wondering if it is in a 640 acre pool that covers SW of Section 23, SE of Section 22, NE of Section 27 and NW of Section 26.
I have a copy of a OCC order granting Osage Exploration, Inc. relief and allowing Osage to include, with the operators agreement an existing well still opened in the Mississippian, to run concurrent with Osage 640 acre well spacing of the entire 640 acres of T.17N R. 3W Section 21 in Logan County Oklahoma. So it appears that Section 21 has been pooled Dec. 21, 2012. So am wondering about the fate of Section 22 and 15 both being adjacent to 21 and having existing wells drilled in the far NW corner of 15 but the sign at the site giving a legal for Section 10 just over the Section line of 15. Anyone have knowledge of the North half being pooled with South parts of Section 10. My poorly taken notes indicate a well name of Tenth Hole #1?
The OCC Cause CD number is 201207251 and the order no. 605847.
db------it’s been 9 days already. Happy Mother’s Day to your wife, hope you remembered. The weather is near fantastic here in the Osage hills, summer is slowly getting here. It would be a fine Mothers Day present if you would tell me that there is activity in your pasture around the Grouse. You and yours have a good weekend and thank you.
My apologies for jumping to Section 15 from 21. Section 15 Tenth Hole #1 was NOT involved in the OCC order mention below. But indicates another pooling of some kind around the NW quarter of Section 15. The Well has a sign with the legal SW/SE/10/17/3.
KK Witt. I apologize, There is a permit to Drill in 15-17n-3w from NW to SW I think. It is the Witt 1-15H. It does not show on the Exhibit that I referred to regarding the Pintail 1-31H. I had the mistaken impression about the content of those exhibits.
Check out the detail at OCC web site for the Pintail 1-21H, located on 21-17n-3w and intended to go from SE Corner to NE Corner. One of the exhibits to the pending CD 201207401 can perhaps clarify. Th Exhibit ID is 4336950, It shows old, current and projected horizontal wells in those Sections you are referring to, ie. 10, 15 etc.
the frac crew is now coming out to 17n 3w sec 20
db----thank you again, you made it a good Mothers Day. Those people are right on schedule, my schedule. I’ve got it figured for my first check on my birthday. FRAC BABY FRAC11111
