Hey all, I don’t have any minerals in Logan County but used to live in Crescent growing up. I do have a question. I own a very large (40 acre) pond in Kingfisher County that is the biggest in the county that is privately held. I also have interest in leasing 30 acres of mineral on the 160 acres where the pond is. I would like to roll a water sale agreement into the lease but don’t know much about what folks are getting for selling their water. Any help would be appreciated
22 cents a bbl on frac water is what Devon is paying, but I heard for the bigger ponds they will pay more.
i knew your father jerry…24 cents,what legal are you in,
DB it’s NW QTR of Section 16, 17N, R9W. Two miles west of Loyal, one south and a half west. Hard to believe it’s been over 28 years since my Dad passed…
if you sell your water they may also wish to drill a disp well
Got this letter from Devon and I am not sure I understand some of the abbreviations.
They mention a well Frank 24-18N-2W 1MH well is proposed as a 9,400 ft Miss horizontal test and possibly other potential formations. The proposed surface location is in the SW/4 SW/4 of Section 19-18N-1W with a BHL in the NE/4 NE/4 of section 24-18N-2W. What is 1MH and BHL?? I am the section 24. They then gave me 3 options : (I just leased this week so that should not be an issue here. )Thanks
Miss would be the formation, 1MH one mile horizontal, BHL is bottom hole location.
Since the BHL is mentioned with my section, what does that mean. They will will drill SW corner of section to NE? But the surface well is on the SW.
SW/4 OF SW/4 OF 19 Range 1
to NE/4 NE4 OF 24 Range 2. If you think about the sections in relationship to each other, being on the line that separates ranges 1 and 2, should give you an idea of what is going on if you look at a township and range map.
The operator can do what is called offsite drilling, which is placing the wellhead at any location they want that will allow them to reach the minerals they want. It’s possible there was not a suitable location in section 24 or that nobody wanted to be the surface location in 24.
It’s possible that nobody in section 19 will share in proceeds from the well and that they are just being host to the wellhead, for a fee.
I was presuming that you didn’t catch the fact that surface location and BHL are in two different Ranges, to move things along. I hope this helps.
Excuse my Latin, but , Et Confusimus Meedimus… I was told that, in the case of Ruffed Grouse, that 20MH referred to Section 20???
And as I understand it, the actual depth is not ten thousand feet or even nine thousand 400 feet, but only about 4,500 feet then a radial turn to Horizontal using up another 1000 feet, more or less, then roughly 4,500 horizontal in the designated direction. but the actual depth is only 4,500 or so feet, and not 10,000 feet?
That was the wording on the registered letter we received. I am still not sure i understand the why. They are drilling in Payne co, since my place is on county rod and we lie on the west in Logan co. Can they go down an old well site and then do the horizontal. Know of a well or two in that section they drilled and they did not make. Like I said confusing.
The depth drilled is called the “Measured Depth” and includes the vertical and horizontal portions of the well. The “True Vertical Depth” is the vertical depth measured perpendicular to the land surface and subtracts out the rig height and is much less. At the bottom hole location, that would be the (usually) the deepest point drilled in a vertical sense. It is actually measured constantly as they drill. If you ever look up the “directional survey” of a well, it is a table of the measured depth, x and y locations (think latitude and longitude) and the azimuth (direction) and the measured (drilled) depth. There are a few more technical “depths”, but only us geologists and engineers care about them.
J Lay, I have axed that same ? myself, but if someone ever answered it, I missed the answer. However, my research into the area of old wells sort of indicates to me that many older, plugged wells are being re-opened even as we speak, but they are mostly vertical wells and can not be Horiz. wells without a whole new location and game plan. I may be wrong in this, but would be surprised if I am. I do not believe that a vert well can or needs to be pooled??? Which indicates to me that if a big blow out well is hit Vert., then it is all yours and whomever foots the bill for drilling. I also believe one can drill their own wells any time, if you gots the cash to foot the bill and can find a drilling rig that is not booked for the next 28 years or so???. A horiz well in Logan runs about 3 million to drill, a Vert not that much???
Ron,
This area is being drilled at a pretty quick rate with different targeted zones. The 1MH is labeling the lateral to help keep track of each one. 1MH (1st Miss Horizontal) would mean the first lateral in the Miss formation. 1WH (1st Woodford Horizontal) would be the first lateral in the Woodford formation.
1-18N-3W you can see they did 3 laterals in the Woodford and 2 in the Miss. (Cowboy & Maverick Wells)
You can look at the McNeil 1-4WH in 31-19N-2W to see an example of the numberings.
Ron, thanks for the info, ref. Slawson Drilling on 36-17N-3W. I was told the OK Owner Registry recently indicated the drilling was taking place on Jul 10th but maybe this dealt more with the paperwork filing than with sinking the hole. Whatever, being I’m out of state, I’ll try to follow whatever action appears here on the forum. Thanks again!
Is it possible to drill two shales such as the Miss and Woodford with the same master hole?
Slawson has filed all the paper work for a well in 36-17n-3w. The permit is all they need which they can get in a day when they are ready.
Just joining the forum here today. Wondering if anything is happening on 36-17N-3W yet. Appears most activity is to the west and northwest from this location.
Tim,
Here is a response to your question:
Yes possible “stacked” or “dual” laterals are done in some areas and someday it
might be done here
