Looking for some info on a oil well

Looking for more info. My great-great-grandfather had bought 160 acres in 1903 and then also 160 acres in 1907. There was an oil well on it. It is in Logan County, Oklahoma, Section 8, Township 17N, Range 1W, SE. Mineral rights have been handed down and split from children, grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren. Just looking for more info like how many shares are out there or any history.

Welcome to the forum.

Do you know which quarter sections the separate 160 acres were? Such as NW4, SE4?

There were 20 wells drilled in section 8, but they are scattered about and not all would pertain to the family acreage. Only four are active now.

The forum cannot help you with the shares or percentages. You would need to track the deeds and probates through the county courthouse to determine who got what or if there were any sales. You can search digitally on www.okcountyrecords.com for free. I used the advanced search and type in my relative’s name(s). The online records only go back so far, but that will give you a start. Freee to look, costs a bit to print. You can go to the county and look through the abstract books for get the rest of the info or you can hire a landman to do it.

Is there another well close that was drilled in like late 1990s early 2000s that they drilled a new well?

You can search on the OCC well records site. Fm 1002A are the completions.

You can sort by effective date. Here are the most recent wells.

Sorry for so many questions just trying to learn what the bbls stand for.

Questions are what the forum is about. BBLS is the abbreviation for barrels. MCF is the abbreviation for 1000 cubic feet of natural gas.
